Speaker 1: This is Robin Dixon. I am so happy that you
Speaker 1: are here with us once. Okay, yes, okay, So before
Speaker 1: we get into our reasonably Shady moment of the week, UM,
Speaker 1: I have a little confession for you all. So last week,
Speaker 1: last Monday's episode, we talked about how our live show
Speaker 1: was a huge success and we were so excited. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we pre recorded that show, so we really so the
Speaker 1: live show had not happened when we actually said it
Speaker 1: happened last week and we were so excited about it.
Speaker 1: But you know, we just knew that the by the
Speaker 1: time you would have heard that episode, it would have passed.
Speaker 1: So we can now officially talk about our live show
Speaker 1: and how amazing it was, everything that happened, everything we missed.
Speaker 1: And I just want to say there, I was floored
Speaker 1: by the number of people who traveled from out of
Speaker 1: state in the town to come see us. I mean
Speaker 1: we had Ohio, we had Kentucky, we had Jersey, we Hadburg, Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: I mean the people, many people from like North Carolina.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, a lot of North Carolina. Like that blew
Speaker 1: me away. Yeah, we said yes, like it was amazing
Speaker 1: on a Wednesday, on a Wednesday Wednesday. So that makes
Speaker 1: me feel like they don't have jobs, not the point,
Speaker 1: but like so it so made me feel like, Wow,
Speaker 1: they really love us. I know they love us. And
Speaker 1: the energy was amazing. Everyone was so happy, so excited. Um,
Speaker 1: we did a meet and greet, an hour and a
Speaker 1: half of a meet and greet. When we met, everyone
Speaker 1: took pictures and and you know, got to meet people
Speaker 1: face to face and it was just like, to me,
Speaker 1: that was almost like my favorite part of the night
Speaker 1: because we really got to like be super up close
Speaker 1: and personal to our listeners, which is so awesome. My
Speaker 1: name is Ali, I'm from I came here just to
Speaker 1: see Romen and Giselle. They're the Green Eye Bandits and
Speaker 1: they're my favorite housewife hot teeny. But the show was
Speaker 1: so fun, I know. Okay, So I had told some
Speaker 1: of my friends like cal and Erica about the show
Speaker 1: like four or five times, and they were they legitimately
Speaker 1: were like, we don't know what that was. And now
Speaker 1: that they've seen the videos. They're pissed that they that
Speaker 1: they missed it. I heard that a lot of people.
Speaker 1: I didn't really know what to expect from a live
Speaker 1: podcast show. What does that mean? We're we just going
Speaker 1: to be kind of chilling talking like were you do?
Speaker 1: And you know, yes, we covered a lot of our
Speaker 1: normal segments, but the energy was just what was like
Speaker 1: so different? And then we had some more interactive um
Speaker 1: segments where the crowd could give us, you know, their
Speaker 1: responses or answers, they could ask us questions or even
Speaker 1: like when we were going over our reasonably shady moment
Speaker 1: of the of the week, like the crowd was giving
Speaker 1: us feedback on it, you know what I mean. So
Speaker 1: it was just so cool for us to like sit
Speaker 1: there and be like, what do y'all think? Because Gazelle's
Speaker 1: um my reasons the shady moment? Yes about Grace? Oh yes,
Speaker 1: people were mad. People were mad that I actually paid
Speaker 1: these speeding tickets. They were like, no, they were hot.
Speaker 1: She had so Grace had four speeding tickets and Gazelle
Speaker 1: was like, I'm going to pay them and you know,
Speaker 1: just whatever, hopefully she'll be you know, our lesson. And
Speaker 1: they were like, no, she needs to pay them. They
Speaker 1: were like, okay, what can she can we pay to?
Speaker 1: Like what? Yeah, it was it was really fun. That
Speaker 1: was actually interesting to me because I thought eybody was
Speaker 1: gonna like gonna be give cut us some slacks. She's
Speaker 1: a teenager. Yes, we had you know, special Ki, Yeah
Speaker 1: we do. We do need to give a little special
Speaker 1: shout out to our m v P Ashley Darby because
Speaker 1: we had a dance section of the show and we
Speaker 1: did all these like old school dance moves and Ashley
Speaker 1: came on stage and tore it down. Well some of
Speaker 1: them she tore down. Others she looked like um Elaine
Speaker 1: from the Signfeld Show, like she looked insane. But we
Speaker 1: love Ashley as she's just like as she's a type
Speaker 1: of person. If she's your friend, she's down for whatever.
Speaker 1: And then we had one Antonio on stage. He was
Speaker 1: a trooper. He came up, he said, what's up to
Speaker 1: the people. We put him in a little hot scene, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: and he took it like a chance. My dad was
Speaker 1: in town, so he came through. So you know, I
Speaker 1: just all of that was amazing. However, there was a
Speaker 1: full soccer moment for me which I which I didn't
Speaker 1: realize until last night. I was talking to my sister.
Speaker 1: My sister came to the show, and she told me
Speaker 1: and my sister don't kill on me. You know, my
Speaker 1: sister hates want to talk about her PubL But she
Speaker 1: stood outside. Now, this theater that we use had a marquee,
Speaker 1: and outside it was scrolling you know, tonight reasonably shady
Speaker 1: Giselle Bryant, Robin Dixon. So my sister says she saw
Speaker 1: it and she just stood there and started crying because
Speaker 1: for several reasons. Why, I'm a little sister and she's
Speaker 1: proud of me. Number two, that street that we used
Speaker 1: in Silver Spring, So my elementary school was around the corner,
Speaker 1: my high school was around the corner. So I've walked
Speaker 1: up and down that street a million times. And she
Speaker 1: was like, Giselle, to think, you know when we were
Speaker 1: kids walking down this street that one day your name
Speaker 1: would be on the marquee. It's like the person who
Speaker 1: is going to be taking over for the night. She
Speaker 1: was like, I couldn't take it. I just started crying.
Speaker 1: Oh super sweet. So you know, long story short, people,
Speaker 1: we are hitting the road. We will be coming to
Speaker 1: your city. Sell yes, and we definitely are like, Okay,
Speaker 1: we need to visit other cities. We've definitely heard our
Speaker 1: feedback because a lot of times, you know, people like
Speaker 1: I can't come, but can you come to New York?
Speaker 1: Can you come right Atlanta? Can you come to l A.
Speaker 1: So we're definitely putting the wheels in motions to make
Speaker 1: that happen in the fall. Y, Yeah, in the fall,
Speaker 1: we we're going to be coming to a city near you.
Speaker 1: So just like, stay tuned, stay tuned, all right, So
Speaker 1: we gotta get down to the business. Reasonably shady. Moment
Speaker 1: of the week, Robin, what is yours? Okay? Mine is, unfortunately, um,
Speaker 1: a horrible moment of the week. And I just you know,
Speaker 1: want to pay my respects to my hair Stylus, Shirley's
Speaker 1: sister and brother in law, who were both tragically killed
Speaker 1: in a car accident on Saturday night. Um. It has
Speaker 1: been the shocker of you know, our whole community, because um,
Speaker 1: surely my hair Styles has a huge family. I have
Speaker 1: been close with them for almost twenty years, and it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, she's not only my hair stylus, she's like
Speaker 1: family to me, and so her family is like family
Speaker 1: to me, and so I've spent a lot, a lot
Speaker 1: of time around their family, her sisters, she has, you know,
Speaker 1: tons of sisters and brothers, UM. And just to hear
Speaker 1: that her sister and brother in law passed in a
Speaker 1: car accident has just been so devastating. And it's so
Speaker 1: cruel because they leave behind to UM young sons. So
Speaker 1: they have a son that's graduating high school UM pretty
Speaker 1: much this week from Damatha, and he's going to Hampton
Speaker 1: University in the fall. And they have another son that
Speaker 1: is going to be entering the ninth grade. UM. And
Speaker 1: the mom, Charlie was just so proud of her sons.
Speaker 1: Like if you look on her Instagram page, that's all
Speaker 1: she ever talked about that they were her pride and joy. Um.
Speaker 1: They were really really really close family unit, taking you know,
Speaker 1: always taking lots of trips and having fun and so UM.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's still a huge shocker for us, and
Speaker 1: I hate that this happened, but UM, it's definitely rocked
Speaker 1: everyone's world, so what I mean, and rocked everyone's world
Speaker 1: on so many levels. Like you you obviously, UM, prayers
Speaker 1: go out to the family. It's a reminder that sometimes
Speaker 1: things just don't make sense, Like this makes absolutely no sense,
Speaker 1: like so hard because you know, they're very spiritual family,
Speaker 1: you know, and they're just asking, like God, please tell
Speaker 1: us what is the reason. You know, what is why?
Speaker 1: And right now it's like there's nothing that any anyone
Speaker 1: can do to comfort them at all because you know,
Speaker 1: they lost you know, like I said, We've got sons
Speaker 1: that lost their parents. You've got you know, mother that
Speaker 1: lost her her child. You have sisters and brothers that
Speaker 1: lost their sister, and nieces and nephews and so many
Speaker 1: people that are affected by this and friends. And Charlie
Speaker 1: and Kyle's house was always like the party house, so
Speaker 1: like they always had like you know, I mean they
Speaker 1: were always always always entertaining and it was always just
Speaker 1: people in and out, open door policy, you know, everyone
Speaker 1: was welcome. So it's it's a huge, huge loss for
Speaker 1: this family. And I just, um, you know, I I'm
Speaker 1: really really sad about it. So that's you know, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I wish I had something lighter to talk about, but
Speaker 1: you know, well, um, someone started a Facebook fundraiser for boys, yes,
Speaker 1: which is fantastic, yes, And the goal you know, because
Speaker 1: he's going to college in the fall with someone who
Speaker 1: we know that the money is going to go to them, right, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: So I made sure. I was like, because when I
Speaker 1: saw it, I was like, is this legit? And they said, yes,
Speaker 1: he's a family friend and communicated with him and so
Speaker 1: they're you know, they're fully aware of this fundraiser. So
Speaker 1: they had a goal of like forty dollars and actually
Speaker 1: it's probably past two. Yes, I think it's like around
Speaker 1: two fifty, right, Oh is it? I don't know. At
Speaker 1: last I looked like yesterday or it was like one eighties,
Speaker 1: so it's probably let me see. But like, that's amazing
Speaker 1: because you know, the reality of it is, we still
Speaker 1: want the boys to go to get a great education.
Speaker 1: We still want to be able to you know, they
Speaker 1: should be able to have a life that their parents
Speaker 1: would have provided. Right, So everyone who has given like
Speaker 1: that is completely and utterly amazing. It's amazing. Okay, So
Speaker 1: they raised I'm looking at it. They've raised two d
Speaker 1: and two as of right now, and there's some other
Speaker 1: ones going on that. So this is like for their college,
Speaker 1: their educational expenses, and then I know one of their
Speaker 1: cousins started one just for like their everyday expenses, you know,
Speaker 1: and then there's like a meal training. I mean there's
Speaker 1: but I mean that's that's two we can use that
Speaker 1: for like every day in college. Like that's a lot
Speaker 1: of money. Yeah yeah, so that'll definitely be college and
Speaker 1: what but um, the youngest is going to private school
Speaker 1: in high school, so you know, so you have his
Speaker 1: you have his private school, and then you also have
Speaker 1: his his college or whatever. You know, so it's like
Speaker 1: you lost, you know, two incomes that would have been
Speaker 1: paying for college. And listen, tomorrow is not promised. You
Speaker 1: gotta hug everyone that you love and let them know
Speaker 1: that you love them, because tomorrow is not promised. It
Speaker 1: is not. It's it's I mean, we hear this all
Speaker 1: the time, you know, and it's just but when it's
Speaker 1: like really close to you and it hits home and
Speaker 1: it's just like it's it's I almost feel like we
Speaker 1: think that like you hear things, but it's like not
Speaker 1: going to affect you, you know what I mean. But
Speaker 1: when it's like this close, it's just terrible. Yeah, alright,
Speaker 1: we're gonna switch gears a little bit. Guys. Yes, I
Speaker 1: hope you have a funny yes, well minus not funny
Speaker 1: minus just my child again is shady. So Grace just
Speaker 1: recently went to her proms. I was so pretty and
Speaker 1: beautiful she was. She was so like she thought she
Speaker 1: was the bee's knees, and I mean we had to
Speaker 1: give it to her. She looked amazing. So we were
Speaker 1: those highlights. Real her highlights were this is funny. Actually
Speaker 1: her highlights were clippings. Okay, cow, my hairstyles came and
Speaker 1: did her hair. He put blonde clippings in her hair,
Speaker 1: and Grace thought the clippians was just gonna stay in forever.
Speaker 1: So like three days later, the clippings was still in there.
Speaker 1: Mind you. They were like jack, they were all jacked up,
Speaker 1: like one was hanging low, one was hanging high. It
Speaker 1: was the mass and Grace take the damn things out.
Speaker 1: So she loved the clipping. Okay, So this is the
Speaker 1: shady parts. Two things. One y'all y'all people out here
Speaker 1: on these social media Okay, so everybody's like, why is
Speaker 1: grace is dress short? And it's a short dress, and
Speaker 1: my god, it looks like she's going up you know,
Speaker 1: a homecoming? Is this is? I mean, it's supposed to
Speaker 1: be prim and Okay, her school and I normally don't
Speaker 1: address but y'all be saying in the social media world.
Speaker 1: Because I hate y'all, y'all negative people. I like. I
Speaker 1: like the nice people, right, Okay, So at her school,
Speaker 1: the Junior's graces, the junior they wear short dresses. Okay,
Speaker 1: they reserved the right for the seniors only to wear
Speaker 1: long dresses. Oh that's nice. Okay, So that's why her
Speaker 1: dress was short. So they so their promised together, their
Speaker 1: promised together, prom little little private school. And so next
Speaker 1: year Grace will have on a long dress. Haters, haters, Okay,
Speaker 1: but that's actually not the Maybe you should have like
Speaker 1: put that just a little. No, it's not y'all's business,
Speaker 1: mind your business. Well it's not. But I can see
Speaker 1: where people would be confused. You know what I mean
Speaker 1: because I went I went to plenty of junior and
Speaker 1: senior problems, and I want a long dress every time. Okay,
Speaker 1: Well this is so, this is paying respect to the seniors. Yes,
Speaker 1: I get that, Okay, I get that, But who but
Speaker 1: who's ever heard of that? Okay? I wish we had
Speaker 1: an audience in front of us and I can ask
Speaker 1: them how many people I've heard of wearing short to
Speaker 1: the junior Okay? This is actually the real part of Okay.
Speaker 1: So the boy gets there to put Grace out, and
Speaker 1: he has like this beautiful cossage for her wrist and
Speaker 1: he puts it on, and then I'm like hald on Grace,
Speaker 1: where is like the boot near? Grace did not get
Speaker 1: him or mentioned to me that I needed to get
Speaker 1: like the flower for his and I didn't really think
Speaker 1: about it that much. I mean I didn't in the moment.
Speaker 1: It was fine, right because he didn't really care. But
Speaker 1: then I started seeing the pictures of like Grace's friends
Speaker 1: in their days, and all the boys had like a
Speaker 1: little flower on their little pal and my shady daughter
Speaker 1: did not make sure that we got that handled. Okay,
Speaker 1: is it the shady daughter or the shady mom? Look,
Speaker 1: look I got a lot on my plate. Okay, she
Speaker 1: say nothing about the damp flower, so it's her fault.
Speaker 1: I mean nothing. Is that part has not changed since? Okay? Whatever?
Speaker 1: I mean? I think that was a mother? Are you
Speaker 1: going to put that on grade bro? Okay? Whatever? Were
Speaker 1: We're gonna make sure moving forward we have all said
Speaker 1: flowers purchase oa. Okay, first and foremost, unfortunately, we have
Speaker 1: a sad moment. Okay, because I'm sick of people going
Speaker 1: to school, dropping off their kids and then the kids
Speaker 1: don't return on Okay, this latest situation in Texas, now
Speaker 1: I think the I think the total the count is
Speaker 1: twenty one people, so it's two teachers, teachers and the
Speaker 1: rest of kids. Like, first of all, this is what
Speaker 1: I don't like. The reports on the news are like
Speaker 1: gunman blah blah blah. No, this he was eighteen, This
Speaker 1: is a boy, This was a boy. So how does
Speaker 1: an eighteen year old have the ability to go out
Speaker 1: and purchase all these guys? I know? And right here
Speaker 1: in Maryland if you if you're eighteen, you can't even
Speaker 1: buy bottle of liquor. You can't buy a beer, nothing,
Speaker 1: so nothing can cigarette until you're So I'm just feeling like,
Speaker 1: how do we fix this problem? I know, I know,
Speaker 1: it's so you know, what's the worst part. When I
Speaker 1: heard about it, my heart dropped, But it wasn't the
Speaker 1: same reaction as when Sandy hook had right, because we're
Speaker 1: like disint attack, we're so yes, we're so like numb
Speaker 1: to it and used to it, and it's just like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, it's another shooting, and it's like I
Speaker 1: remember Sandy Hook like literally crawling, like crawling in my
Speaker 1: bed and just crying. We boo hooing this one. It's like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, this is horrible. But it's like it's
Speaker 1: not stopping me in my track. No, it's not because
Speaker 1: we this is this is We're now up to like
Speaker 1: thirty people that have died via a gunman, a crazy
Speaker 1: mass shooting. Yes, and it's it's horrible. I was so
Speaker 1: angry that I'm have that reaction that I'm like, I'm
Speaker 1: pissed off used to this. Well, I'm pissed because why
Speaker 1: haven't we fixed this? I am sick and tired of it.
Speaker 1: We have to act and don't tell me we can't
Speaker 1: have an impact on this carnage. The idea that an
Speaker 1: eighteen year old kid can walk into a gun store
Speaker 1: and buy two assault weapons, it's just wrong. What in
Speaker 1: God's name do you need to solve for except to
Speaker 1: kill someone? And then it's so embarrassing as the United
Speaker 1: States of America because when you look at like the
Speaker 1: statistics of how we compare to other countries, they don't
Speaker 1: do this. They don't do it. No, they might they
Speaker 1: might be a mass shooting, but it ain't Kids right, Well,
Speaker 1: there was one. I remember there was once. I can't
Speaker 1: remember where it was. It was over in Europe and
Speaker 1: it was it was horrendous and it was elementary school kids.
Speaker 1: But it was like one you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: it was just like happened like one time. Like the
Speaker 1: mass shootings don't happen like this because people don't have
Speaker 1: access to guns like this. I think you can't. I
Speaker 1: think in this country, obviously we need to change the laws.
Speaker 1: But like I feel adamant, like you should not be
Speaker 1: able to get your hands on the gun until you're
Speaker 1: like thirty. Yeah, I mean that's just the hard part,
Speaker 1: like how do you determine and then But it's it's
Speaker 1: not even the gun itself, it's the types of guns,
Speaker 1: Like how are you getting these types of guns rights? How?
Speaker 1: I know automatic weapons, these automatic weapons. The n r
Speaker 1: A clearly y'all gots y'all are the most powerful like
Speaker 1: organization out here because the fact that these laws have
Speaker 1: not changed and all these people are dead, it's absurd.
Speaker 1: It is they have so much blood on their hands. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I saw an old tweet. I think it was
Speaker 1: like the I guess he's the governor of Texas right
Speaker 1: now is an old tweet from where he like tweeted
Speaker 1: something like, oh um, it's reported that California has the
Speaker 1: most gun own owners in Texas is number two Texas.
Speaker 1: You need to do better. We need oh my god, yeah,
Speaker 1: like what what do you what do people need these
Speaker 1: guns for? Right right? I don't understand it, so like,
Speaker 1: so what okay? And it's clearly the lawmakers that are
Speaker 1: holding this up, Like I can I just cannot believe
Speaker 1: that there that the n r A and the gun
Speaker 1: you know, the gun owners or whoever have so much
Speaker 1: power over our lawmakers. They can't cross party lines and
Speaker 1: just do something for the good of the country. Right,
Speaker 1: this is discussed. This is this is horrible. Definitely praying
Speaker 1: for the people of val Yeah you Valda. Yeah yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: Definitely praying for them. The families. I cannot imagine. Cannot
Speaker 1: imagine you I'm not coming home from school because they
Speaker 1: were shot. I can't imagine. We have we have an announcement.
Speaker 1: We have an announcement. We have announcement. Yes, what is it. Well,
Speaker 1: we're excited that re Re had the baby. Okay, we
Speaker 1: are pumped over here. I'm kind of mad. I thought
Speaker 1: she was having a girl. Yeah, we didn't know what
Speaker 1: she was having. She was she's been in some stores,
Speaker 1: spotted in some stories holding up girl clothes, and then
Speaker 1: I think that was to throw us home. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: So what do we think the name of the baby is?
Speaker 1: Because she has not announced it as of right now? Okay,
Speaker 1: So what's ASAP's real name? I don't know. Okay, it
Speaker 1: could be Resap or Anna? What do we think asa? Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: let's just make this prediction. Is the name going to
Speaker 1: be something uh normal and traditional or is it going
Speaker 1: to be something that like we've never heard of? I
Speaker 1: think it's never like a north stormy apple. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think it's someone else we've never heard of. You think so, yes,
Speaker 1: it's like red, I could see her. What about like
Speaker 1: diesel or something? I like diesel, but we've heard of diesel,
Speaker 1: we have. But it's still off, a little off the
Speaker 1: a little a little different. And will she give the
Speaker 1: right red? Will she give the baby her last name
Speaker 1: or his? Is the question because they're not married, and
Speaker 1: rihanna cash flow is bigger than his. Not that it
Speaker 1: has to do a cash flow, they're not I know.
Speaker 1: I mean that's a good question for anyone that's having
Speaker 1: a baby and you're not married, right, Like, I think
Speaker 1: if one and I had Corey and Carter or Corey
Speaker 1: before we were married, like Corey's name would be Corey
Speaker 1: Bragg's name, yes, and one is like, oh, hell no,
Speaker 1: one would not let that go down. I don't know
Speaker 1: what you're talking about. Well, I would be like hell no, no,
Speaker 1: and I would be like, we'll put it, let's get married.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just feel like I'm the one
Speaker 1: that has to go to the school, you know, for
Speaker 1: the most part with the teachers, like I want them
Speaker 1: to connect me to my son and instantly. So Corey,
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's happy he's not named Corey Brad. I'm sure.
Speaker 1: I'm sure my last name growing up Now, I sent
Speaker 1: a m what do you call those things? A gift
Speaker 1: basket theoretical to Scott Disick. Okay, so if y'all don't
Speaker 1: know who Scott Disick is, he is the baby. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's the baby daddy to Courtney Kardashian, who just got
Speaker 1: married and Scott forever has thought he was gonna be
Speaker 1: the one that this woman. They were together forever. They
Speaker 1: have three kids together, and she said after you, okay,
Speaker 1: with a big stick. Because she married Travis Barker. Travis
Speaker 1: Barker and are over the moon over the hills. They
Speaker 1: I mean they are the p d A is on tent.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, and it's beautiful. It's like she looks beautiful,
Speaker 1: the family looks beautiful. They're over in Italy living their
Speaker 1: best life. And Scott Disick is somewhere crying or punching
Speaker 1: the air. He's doing something. He definitely is or finding
Speaker 1: another little young girl because he started after they broke up.
Speaker 1: He started dating like really young girl yeah, like like
Speaker 1: twenty year olds like Lisa Rena's daughter and stuff. That
Speaker 1: was insane. Yeah, I just I really feel bad for him.
Speaker 1: I mean I feel more bad for Scott than I'm
Speaker 1: happy for Courtney. Like I'm really a little bit, a
Speaker 1: little bit how he really feels, you know, how he
Speaker 1: really feels. I want to hear it from him. Okay, Scott,
Speaker 1: call us or Texas or do something, okay, because you
Speaker 1: know we understand you're going through right, no question, so hard.
Speaker 1: I'm sure it is. But Courtney is like smiling and
Speaker 1: living her best life. She is she is on cloud nine. Yes,
Speaker 1: I mean it's really cute to say it very much is.
Speaker 1: And she's she has always been the girl that says
Speaker 1: she would never get married based off of the divorce
Speaker 1: of her mom and her dad. She said she would
Speaker 1: never get married. No, she would just never marry Scott. Right. Okay,
Speaker 1: there's this June tenth I screen at Walmart. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: that people have brought to my attention, but I really
Speaker 1: didn't like. Okay, okay, let's just start off by saying
Speaker 1: Walmart has ripped it off the shelves because it was convincive.
Speaker 1: But I didn't. I thought that they were trying to
Speaker 1: give light to Juneteenth. The problem is it's the people
Speaker 1: who who are behind this product. They're white people. So
Speaker 1: Juneteenth clearly is a celebration you know in black history, right, um,
Speaker 1: and that is when the slaves were freed. Yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: and we really honestly, um never really publicly. I would
Speaker 1: say it got more attention recently. Um, after like you know,
Speaker 1: the George Floyd what happened with George Floyd in the protests,
Speaker 1: and like the reckoning and the social justice reckoning that
Speaker 1: recently happened, And so all of a sudden everyone started
Speaker 1: talking about juneteent and celebrating Juneteenth, and now it's officially
Speaker 1: a holiday. Yes, it's official it yes, correct, it's an officialiday.
Speaker 1: So some of your white people ain't going to recognize it.
Speaker 1: And we already know haters. I mean that's okay, because
Speaker 1: what I don't really recognize some holidays that we get
Speaker 1: off for, like what robin um, like Columbus Day, that
Speaker 1: type of stuff. Robin, you're off, you're not working. But
Speaker 1: that's the same thing. So no meaning they're going to
Speaker 1: be some companies that make you still work on Okay, yes, yes, yes, true, true,
Speaker 1: but so in this case, yeah, so Juneteenth, after you know,
Speaker 1: hundreds of years, is finally recognized as a as a
Speaker 1: public holiday. Um so anyway, so the problem is that Walmart,
Speaker 1: the brand that is making this ice cream is like
Speaker 1: Walmart brand ice cream, and we all know who kind
Speaker 1: of owns Walmart, and it's white people, and they actually
Speaker 1: trademarked the term, so if you look up the trademark,
Speaker 1: it goes back to this white owner company. They trademarked stuffy.
Speaker 1: The Juneteenth ice cream features a message to sell a
Speaker 1: bright African American culture, but critics called it a tone
Speaker 1: deaf effort to cash in on the federal holiday. Walmart
Speaker 1: is also selling party favors and clothing with June tenth branding.
Speaker 1: Walmart released a statement apologizing and says it's going to
Speaker 1: remove the items as appropriate right on this one. So
Speaker 1: it's like, so it's like you have to like dig
Speaker 1: deeper to see, you know, like who's behind this product.
Speaker 1: So it's like you're selling this product. And then it's
Speaker 1: like the flavor is like red velvet vanilla cheesecake or something,
Speaker 1: and I was like, it's red velvet black thing. It
Speaker 1: might it might be. Okay, all of it is wrong,
Speaker 1: And I just want to say, right now, no one
Speaker 1: purchased any Juneteenth anything right unless they can somehow. Maybe
Speaker 1: The other thing they could have said is like all
Speaker 1: proceeds from this stream are going to a particular cause.
Speaker 1: How how much? How much of the proceeds? Right? We
Speaker 1: don't know. So now I say, now, don't don't participate. Now, okay,
Speaker 1: we got to talk about our girl. She she has
Speaker 1: become our new hero. Who's that? So back when Joe
Speaker 1: Biden was running for office, it was a badass woman
Speaker 1: in Georgia and she was getting everybody under the sun
Speaker 1: to make sure that they went to the polls and voted. Okay,
Speaker 1: Georgia was key for Biden winning. So now this badass
Speaker 1: woman called Stacy Abrams has won the Democratic nomination for
Speaker 1: governor governor again, right again woman she wanted before? Yes,
Speaker 1: so this is the second time. You don't remember, that's right,
Speaker 1: that's right, that's right. You know how fast time flies.
Speaker 1: I cannot believe that it's already come background. But you remember,
Speaker 1: it was a really, really, really tight race. It was
Speaker 1: a tight race between her and the current governor. But
Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna make sure that this time she
Speaker 1: wins the whole because I think it was some funny
Speaker 1: business that went for the reason why she didn't win,
Speaker 1: because it was super tight. So yes, definitely, I think,
Speaker 1: you know, people all over the country, we need to
Speaker 1: be backing Stacy Abrams for ovenor in Georgia. My point
Speaker 1: is that I want more for Georgia. I believe in
Speaker 1: our greatness. I moved here the first time because my
Speaker 1: parents brought me. I came back the second time because
Speaker 1: this is where I want to live. And I think
Speaker 1: there's a phrase in the Black Church that I love.
Speaker 1: It's like charge it to my head and not my heart.
Speaker 1: My heart is in Georgia. She's smart, she's she's the
Speaker 1: woman for the job. I have have an Abram's shirt
Speaker 1: I was going to wear today but I forgot. But
Speaker 1: I will be wearing it in support. Even though we
Speaker 1: don't live in Georgia. We're going to support yes. So
Speaker 1: we're starting now by supporting everybody's support Stacy Abrams. Stacy
Speaker 1: is in the in the general election whenever. What is that?
Speaker 1: Is that this November? I guess that would be in
Speaker 1: everybody's general elections the same day. Right, it's in, it's
Speaker 1: in November. But what's so crazy is this little prime?
Speaker 1: This is this a primary? Okay? It came up so
Speaker 1: fast that I think I think I didn't notice it
Speaker 1: because we don't live in Georgia and we in right now,
Speaker 1: we don't have that right right, But what are there?
Speaker 1: So I'm just wanting, okay, what was it? Maybe they
Speaker 1: just have two year terms, because when they have four
Speaker 1: year terms here knows, I think everybody has four so
Speaker 1: I don't that just seems like yesterday and I think
Speaker 1: it's running for governor. I think here you can only
Speaker 1: do two consecutive terms back to back and then you
Speaker 1: gotta go, so like Hogan has to go. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but even though I kind of like Hogan a little bit,
Speaker 1: I do. Yeah, I'm not mad at Hope. I'm not
Speaker 1: mad at it either, because he's moderate. Yes, all right,
Speaker 1: So Time one hundred put out this year their covers
Speaker 1: for the most Influential People of two. Once again, Robin,
Speaker 1: they forgot us once again? How dare they don't they
Speaker 1: know we were We are in double a CP Image
Speaker 1: Award and apparently they did not get the memo. How
Speaker 1: dare they don't they know we just had a live
Speaker 1: show and it was amazing. Don't they know we are
Speaker 1: influential out here in the streets. How do you go out?
Speaker 1: They hate us, they're hayting. So I saw that one
Speaker 1: of the people was in Dea. Okay, fine, I'll give
Speaker 1: it to you know, she came from, you know, the
Speaker 1: Disney world. She hasn't lived life long enough, That's what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. She's a teeny bob. She has. She started
Speaker 1: on Disney when my kids, I remember they was watching her.
Speaker 1: She you have to at least be in your thirdies
Speaker 1: to be influenced. That is what I'm thinking. It's our time.
Speaker 1: It's our time. People listen, y'all, d M or send
Speaker 1: some messages over the time. One hundreds of me and
Speaker 1: round get on the cover. Okay, So I think Elon Musky. Okay,
Speaker 1: we'll give it to him. We have a boy, some
Speaker 1: sort of some boy. Um yeah, who is this boy? Orion?
Speaker 1: He's an ambassador for I take it back, he's an
Speaker 1: ambassador for kindness. This is very important. His name is
Speaker 1: Orion Geen. He's eleven. Oh that's very sweet. Yes, okay.
Speaker 1: So we have this woman who I really like. I
Speaker 1: don't want to mess up her name. And y'all, Kalen,
Speaker 1: you like her. It would be nice if I knew
Speaker 1: how to really Emaul Clooney. I like her. She's doing
Speaker 1: she's doing things, and you know, from what I understand,
Speaker 1: she raises a lot of money, she's over a lot
Speaker 1: of charities. She's all about um, you know, making the
Speaker 1: world a better place. But she locked that thing called
Speaker 1: George Clooney and they've been locked down for a minute. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she should get that award just for that, just for that,
Speaker 1: just could do that. I mean, so we ain't seen
Speaker 1: them since we have No, we haven't seen Clooney since
Speaker 1: he married that woman, and it's like he's fine with it.
Speaker 1: He's over there happy as a as a lark. Okay,
Speaker 1: And we have a little Joe Biden, and of course
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, you know, Joe Biden clearly is very influential.
Speaker 1: So I don't know if those were part of the
Speaker 1: top one hundred, but they were part of who has
Speaker 1: been on the cover this year? And god damn it,
Speaker 1: next year, Robin not gonna be on the cover. So y'all,
Speaker 1: I get a not does anybody even buy magazines anymore?
Speaker 1: But they go online digital? Okay, we're gonna be on
Speaker 1: the digital. We're gonna be Yeah, we'll take to digital.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's fine, I'll take that. Okay, all right, So
Speaker 1: we've got something important to talk about people, because you know,
Speaker 1: my kids are gonna be going to college soon, and
Speaker 1: that college bill is expensive, I mean super expensive. It's
Speaker 1: a good thing their father has a job. Okay, So
Speaker 1: it it bears the question, Yes, it's student loan debt
Speaker 1: worth it is it worth it to go to college? Spend?
Speaker 1: So Hampton University is like twenty seven I'm gonna thirty
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year. Um, So that means if you
Speaker 1: stayed there for four years, um, that would be a
Speaker 1: hundred twenty dollars if you become a super senior, which
Speaker 1: my father said he had. My father told me when
Speaker 1: I went to Hampton, you have four years of my money.
Speaker 1: What you do with that is on you, sweetie pie.
Speaker 1: So in other words, do not make this a five
Speaker 1: year program, um, and I did not. If you go
Speaker 1: to an ivy league, it's around who's got that kind
Speaker 1: of money? Right. So if you decide, Okay, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do this, and I'm gonna have student loans pay for this,
Speaker 1: your asked is in debt. So you know I, Um,
Speaker 1: first of all, I want to shout out to my
Speaker 1: parents because I did not ever have any student debt,
Speaker 1: you know, student loan debt entire college education. And you know,
Speaker 1: I didn't really realize it until afterwards that that wasn't normal,
Speaker 1: that most of my friends had student loans, and that
Speaker 1: they are, you know, shoot, forty three today and they're
Speaker 1: still paying their student loans. That's pathetic. Yes, like that's
Speaker 1: really bad. That's said that, that's that's kind of you
Speaker 1: know that you have to bear the burden of that forever.
Speaker 1: So yeah, the question is like, is it worth it,
Speaker 1: especially in today's age where I feel like entrepreneurship so
Speaker 1: much more accessible and attainable. Um, then you have all
Speaker 1: the people you know making money off of YouTube and
Speaker 1: TikTok and Instagram, and so you know, some of these
Speaker 1: students are you know, probably thinking they can forego college
Speaker 1: because you know, I'm making thousands of dollars a week
Speaker 1: on Instagram, right. So I mean, but you know, if
Speaker 1: you look at statistics and research and reports and stuff,
Speaker 1: they say, um that the average person with a bachelor's
Speaker 1: degree will make pretty much twice as more then the
Speaker 1: person without in life the in life. Yeah, so they say, Okay,
Speaker 1: So this is a Forbes dot com article and it
Speaker 1: says the media salary for workers with high school diplomas
Speaker 1: is thirty eight thousand seven, and they have an average
Speaker 1: employment rate of three point seven versus the median salary
Speaker 1: for people with bachelor's degrees sixty four thousand eight, and
Speaker 1: their unemployment unemployment rate is two point two on average,
Speaker 1: So that itself every year is almost you know, thirty
Speaker 1: eight and sixty four. I mean that that's almost twice
Speaker 1: as much per year average median. But but then you
Speaker 1: have all this debt to pay, so it does it
Speaker 1: average out? Well, I'm thinking so if you think about okay,
Speaker 1: let's just say over the course of so if your
Speaker 1: debt is so, if you have a hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: dollars a debt, right, yeah, and then you gotta you
Speaker 1: gotta put that interest on it. They smack on it,
Speaker 1: so you're probably gonna be paying back I don't know two. Okay,
Speaker 1: So let's say you're paying Let's say you're paying that
Speaker 1: over twenty years. Right, that's just costing you six thousand
Speaker 1: dollars a year. Just so it's calling you costing you
Speaker 1: six thousand, you know, plus the interest or whatever, six
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year um. Where you're making you know,
Speaker 1: so if you're so, if you're in this median range,
Speaker 1: so instead of making thirty eight thousand, you're making sixty
Speaker 1: four thousand. So in the in the end, yes, that's
Speaker 1: worth it. Let me tell you, let me tell you
Speaker 1: something robbing and these numbers and her how her math
Speaker 1: be math in it's amazing to me. She just whipped
Speaker 1: all that up in her head like the words and
Speaker 1: so yes, in in with with Robin's math, you're always
Speaker 1: up if you decide to get the college education, right, it'll, it'll,
Speaker 1: it'll level out, and then yeah you'll be fine. You Yeah,
Speaker 1: you always be. If you decided to pay over twenty
Speaker 1: years and you're paying six thousand dollars per year towards
Speaker 1: your dollar college loan debt, then yes, you will steal me,
Speaker 1: be off, be better off than the person with the
Speaker 1: high school education like that in an average situation. Right,
Speaker 1: And and yes, there are other means of of income.
Speaker 1: You know, these influencers, these Instagram TikTok people and just
Speaker 1: entrepreneur ism write the word um, which is cool, but
Speaker 1: for me personally, like college for me was more. I mean,
Speaker 1: obviously I got an education in education is power. However,
Speaker 1: the experience, experience was just everything. Yes, I agree, and
Speaker 1: I agree with and I feel like I can tell
Speaker 1: if a person went to college right now that I'm
Speaker 1: in I'm much older, I can tell the people that
Speaker 1: went to college and people that didn't like based on
Speaker 1: their like yes, or their social how they socialized. Maybe,
Speaker 1: I mean I think, yes, I think the experience is everything, um,
Speaker 1: even if you go like some people who have only
Speaker 1: gone for one year to college. I have a good
Speaker 1: friend she went to Maryland. You know, we're all like,
Speaker 1: actually think she was a freshman when I was a sophomore.
Speaker 1: So she went to Maryland for one year, and she's
Speaker 1: still our really like, she's still part of our crew,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So even though she didn't
Speaker 1: finish Maryland, that one year of relationships that she built
Speaker 1: is um you know, lasting the rest of her life. No,
Speaker 1: it matters, It matters. So the other thing to point
Speaker 1: out is, um, you know, a lot of jobs require
Speaker 1: college education, so that you know you're up against that.
Speaker 1: And then I also want to point out that a
Speaker 1: lot of jobs that people with at least a bachelor's
Speaker 1: degree can get will at least provide some sort of
Speaker 1: health insurance aspect. So if you don't, if you're you know,
Speaker 1: if you have a high school diploma, you might be
Speaker 1: paying more for your health insurance because the type of
Speaker 1: job that you get doesn't cover your health insurance. So
Speaker 1: it's those types of things that you have to like
Speaker 1: add into it, you know. Okay, so get your everybody
Speaker 1: go to college. Long story short, Yeah that's my one. Okay,
Speaker 1: go ahead, Yeah, let me see. So then there's other
Speaker 1: this article talks about, you know, the drawbacks of of
Speaker 1: you know why college isn't worth it? Of course, it's
Speaker 1: the student loan debt, and that says you can be
Speaker 1: in debt for ten to thirty years. But you know,
Speaker 1: like I said, if many more benefits, yeah, if you
Speaker 1: wear the benefits and then but so on. Another side
Speaker 1: to that is when we speak funding and people out
Speaker 1: here making choices in life, and you have before you
Speaker 1: make a choice, we're gonna recommend that you do the
Speaker 1: math behind that choice. For instance, you live in d C,
Speaker 1: but your boyfriend lives in l A. Y'all gonna have
Speaker 1: to see each other? Who was paying for all these
Speaker 1: plane tickets? That costs money? Right? You decide you want
Speaker 1: to live a healthy life, well, whole foods is very expensive.
Speaker 1: But but but okay, whole foods is expensive. You want
Speaker 1: to live a healthy life, but you know it's more
Speaker 1: expensive medical bills. True, true, So it's hard. It's like, okay,
Speaker 1: even with that whole Like, okay, at this long term relationship,
Speaker 1: my boyfriend's in l A, I'm in I'm in Maryland.
Speaker 1: Do I want to spend the money going back and forth? Well?
Speaker 1: What if that that turns out to y'all got married
Speaker 1: and your boyfriend has become like a high power agent
Speaker 1: and making you know, ten million dollars a year. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's what that's the good scenario. I'm saying, hays Off,
Speaker 1: you really don't. It's hard. It's like it's really hard
Speaker 1: to say, oh is this worth it because you don't know.
Speaker 1: You don't. And I think there's people who have like
Speaker 1: different personalities. Like some people are like, you know what,
Speaker 1: I'm going for it, I'm taking the gamble. You know,
Speaker 1: you don't know until you try or whatever. And then
Speaker 1: there's other people that are like, I'm keeping my coins.
Speaker 1: That's Robin. Robin is a coin keeper, Okay. And then
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, Robin, you have boys, you buy them
Speaker 1: one pair of air Force one that goes down that
Speaker 1: that then said, they didn't say I need a million pairs. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta think about the choices that you make. It
Speaker 1: has you bought them some sketchers for the first pair
Speaker 1: of shoes, then you just be buying cheaper sketchers. That's true, right,
Speaker 1: If it's sketchers are new, valid, they be good. Yeah. No,
Speaker 1: my that one. We definitely created some monsters with that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And if I see Robin's kids all the time. And
Speaker 1: let me tell them them feed are fresh. Okay, they
Speaker 1: have a fresh pair on on all the time. Those
Speaker 1: feet grow too, yes. Other part it's like, damn, you
Speaker 1: get these you know, I think you're doing good and
Speaker 1: get them all these shoes for their birthday and then
Speaker 1: you know they wear them and dog him and then
Speaker 1: two weeks later they be like, oh my feet her
Speaker 1: right because they don't fit because their feet grew. Yes, insane, insane,
Speaker 1: all right? So with with with y'all making these choices
Speaker 1: out in life. Do the math behind your choices, because
Speaker 1: you might do something else right or take a risk
Speaker 1: and see what happened. I mean, that wasn't really helpful.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Them tickets across the country are expensive, y'all.
Speaker 1: I'm just going to tell you, but he might be
Speaker 1: a million name. He's going big places. Okay. Anyway, that
