Speaker 1: going to give it to that Dick soon upstairs. That
Speaker 1: wand Dickson what's his middle name? Again? You mean were
Speaker 1: like a few episodes ago, I was complaining about the
Speaker 1: brother in law leaving the big bottles. Now one wants
Speaker 1: to try to work out again, and he's leaving his
Speaker 1: freaking workout bottles in the sink like a prmis or whatever,
Speaker 1: like with this protein shake and his pre workout and
Speaker 1: his post work out. And it's like and it's like
Speaker 1: all these damn but shaker bottles in my sink and
Speaker 1: I'm not washing them, I'm not putting them in the dishwasher.
Speaker 1: I'm not rinsing them out. I'm not washing them. I'm
Speaker 1: sick of it. Oh sugar, okay, wanted tonio, I suggest
Speaker 1: you watch your own damn bottles because Robin ain't having it, sugar, okay,
Speaker 1: all right. So I have not talked about any renovation
Speaker 1: in my house just because you know. I'm at the
Speaker 1: tail end of this thing, thank you Jesus. So I'm
Speaker 1: on the outside portion. I'm doing like a little pat yo,
Speaker 1: a little fire pit action. Um A, what do you
Speaker 1: call those things that you cook on that grill? A grill?
Speaker 1: I don't want to grill, but for whatever reason, my
Speaker 1: contract did and brought me a grill. Oh my god? Whatever,
Speaker 1: what's this here? I'm not even gonna complain this here? Okay?
Speaker 1: So I say to him, I've been waiting for the
Speaker 1: fire pit to be installed for about three months. So
Speaker 1: I say to my contractor, when does the fire pick come?
Speaker 1: He said, what do you sell the fire pit? I said, yeah,
Speaker 1: when does that come? And he said, I thought you
Speaker 1: ordered it? Oh lord. So I said, I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: CAUs I'm just gonna order it. Oh my god. So
Speaker 1: this fire pits coming from Amazon. I just want you
Speaker 1: to know and it will be at my house seven days,
Speaker 1: nice and rinky than fire pits coming from Amazon. Seven
Speaker 1: days will be in my house and it will be installed.
Speaker 1: And I just want you to know my contractor is shady. Okay, wait,
Speaker 1: did you but was the contractor is supposed to receive
Speaker 1: money from you to order it? Well? Does he orders
Speaker 1: up and the reimburse it? He orders it, not reimburse really? Yeah,
Speaker 1: And if he needs money from me, he knows, just
Speaker 1: to say that, like if he needs it in advance,
Speaker 1: because let's say the purchase is too big, then he knows. Yeah.
Speaker 1: We we got with this. We were two years in,
Speaker 1: so we have that established. But some things I do
Speaker 1: order because I want to pick them, and some things
Speaker 1: he ordered so but I specifically said no. He specifically
Speaker 1: said he was going to order the fire pit because
Speaker 1: there's a lot to it, like there's either propane, there's electric,
Speaker 1: there's all these things that I don't know anything about.
Speaker 1: But guess what that fire bits coming? Okay? I hope
Speaker 1: I did too, And I don't care what I got.
Speaker 1: They're gonna install it whatever it is, install it the ends,
Speaker 1: all right, can't wait to use it. I know it's
Speaker 1: gonna be great, We're gonna marshmallow We're gonna like roast
Speaker 1: marshmallows and stuff. Oh my gosh, I'm gonna have some
Speaker 1: hot dates. What are you gonna cook on the grill? Well, okay,
Speaker 1: this girl probably will never be used because I'm not
Speaker 1: a grill. A griller, No, I'm not. I think grilling
Speaker 1: is for like, very large football players. I envision anyone
Speaker 1: grilling that they're big, their men, they have beards. Speaking
Speaker 1: of beards, Okay, so there was a basketball trade from
Speaker 1: I don't know what what. Okay, you talk about James Harden, Yes,
Speaker 1: going from the Nets to the Sixers, But did the
Speaker 1: Sixers really know that's James Harden because no one can
Speaker 1: see his face? Because that beard is the most disgusting
Speaker 1: thing I've ever seen. The other day, I was like,
Speaker 1: who is this dude? Oh? This is hardened? But how
Speaker 1: would you know? That beard is like down to his knees.
Speaker 1: There's fried chicken in the beard. You know, it's so funny.
Speaker 1: I'm so used to it. I don't even notice it anymore.
Speaker 1: I want, but like, that beard look is gone? Aren't
Speaker 1: we done with that? I don't think so. Listen, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he clearly loves his beard. He does. I wanted to
Speaker 1: be gone. I just hope it's sanitary. Anytime I see them,
Speaker 1: I automatically know and feeling my gut that there's fried
Speaker 1: chicken in there's beards, fried chicken, grease, watermelon, there's some
Speaker 1: cult forty five in there. Now racist, this is horrible.
Speaker 1: Let me just stop by my head, James Harden, I
Speaker 1: beg them blood. Definitely some blood. It's some blinds. The
Speaker 1: whole thing smells like weed. I know it does. Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't even know if he smokes swed. We're really sorry, Hardened,
Speaker 1: cut the thing off. Yes, I feel like a beard
Speaker 1: to go look at it. I'm so you know, you know,
Speaker 1: I watched sports, I watched all the time, so like
Speaker 1: I'm like immune to his beard, Like I don't even
Speaker 1: see it anymore. But but after the beard gets away
Speaker 1: from the face like a half inch, that's it. But
Speaker 1: that's the look. But who started this look? Do you
Speaker 1: know who started it? Osama Bin Laden and he is dead. Okay,
Speaker 1: So Hardened, cut your beard. That's all I have to
Speaker 1: say about that. Okay, So this is actually is actually
Speaker 1: the last day of Black History Month, and there's a
Speaker 1: couple of things I want to say clearly, Um, I
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, the world is realizing that black
Speaker 1: people need to be honored and all that good stuff.
Speaker 1: So a couple weeks ago, Vogue came out with their
Speaker 1: cover and all that's good stuff. Where their spread or whatever,
Speaker 1: and it was Kim Kardashi. Yes, and we love Kim.
Speaker 1: We think Kim is great, and we really are happy
Speaker 1: for her because she's happy now because she has Pete. Okay,
Speaker 1: and Kanye has decided he's gonna stop tweeting and he's
Speaker 1: taking down all of his tweets. Believe that. Well, we'll see. Anyway,
Speaker 1: we're not talking about Kanye ever again. Okay, so why
Speaker 1: couldn't I Can I just say real quick, I think
Speaker 1: Kanye is acting a fool just so you can talk
Speaker 1: about him. I think so too. That's why we're not
Speaker 1: talking about him. I thought about that. You tell me
Speaker 1: that the other day, and I thought about that, and
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, Robin's onto something. Kanye
Speaker 1: knows what he's doing. He knows that right now, everyone
Speaker 1: knows that him and Can going through a divorce, and
Speaker 1: he's gonna use it to his advantage, you specifically, because
Speaker 1: he knows that you have said, I'm not talking about
Speaker 1: Kanye anymore. So he's doing this such as I can
Speaker 1: talk that, you can talk about her way that man
Speaker 1: gets under my skin. I do want to say that
Speaker 1: because his um work slash rain boots slash Boltega boots
Speaker 1: are horrible. Guy, Stop wearing those. Then we'll talk about
Speaker 1: you again. K Okay, But I mean, so much has
Speaker 1: happened and we have we have kind of skipped over
Speaker 1: all of that that has happened with him. So hopefully
Speaker 1: by the time we hear this, you know, he's kind
Speaker 1: of simmer down. He will simmer down. I don't know
Speaker 1: if those boots are gonna simmer down. But anyway, so
Speaker 1: back to what we were saying about Vogue. Okay, Andre
Speaker 1: Leon Tally, Yes, who passed away, who was a fashion icon.
Speaker 1: He was the first black man that like broke through
Speaker 1: and was allowed to even be in the room with
Speaker 1: the hot couture and the Givon sheds and the call
Speaker 1: lack of fields of the world. Right, why couldn't he
Speaker 1: be on the cover in so my theory is that
Speaker 1: he probably wasn't on good terms with them. Well, yes,
Speaker 1: I believe that, which is unfortunate It's like, okay, you
Speaker 1: all can still whatever whatever happened in the past, because
Speaker 1: he and Anna went tour aren't friends anymore, right, right
Speaker 1: and Anna went were still at Vogue, right, Yes? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean whatever their beef is is unfortunate. Is that
Speaker 1: deep that they couldn't even show him respect and put
Speaker 1: him on their cover during Black I'm well, then, well,
Speaker 1: then like give him an insert? Did he have a
Speaker 1: spread like inside? I don't know, I just but but
Speaker 1: but to give it to Kim who is she's not black?
Speaker 1: But you know, they planning these covers like so whoever,
Speaker 1: their PR team is yelling that properly planning your calendar
Speaker 1: for the year. But they should have said, oh, I
Speaker 1: was going to die, right, So maybe I wonder I
Speaker 1: wonder how far in advance it was printed, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? Yeah, okay, so we'll cut them some slack.
Speaker 1: May be I think they had Matt. I think they
Speaker 1: had major beef um and that magazine was probably that
Speaker 1: cover is probably already printed. Well, we'll we'll cut We'll
Speaker 1: cut them some slack. That's fine, But I feel like
Speaker 1: this is the reality of it. I don't know another
Speaker 1: black person in the Vogue world right like after like
Speaker 1: he he obviously forged the way, but like, I don't
Speaker 1: know anyone that's come behind him, which speaks volumes and
Speaker 1: and and. But I do know Naomi is very vocal.
Speaker 1: Naomi Campbell who we love, Naomi Campbell walk, Naomi Campbell walk.
Speaker 1: Naomi just wants you to know. I practice my Naomi
Speaker 1: Campbell walk all the time. Me and my girls sat
Speaker 1: around my house all the time. Um, she is very vocal,
Speaker 1: and I know she speaks up about this whole situation.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna leave it to Naomi. She's gonna handle it.
Speaker 1: And that wasn't she on it? What was she onna
Speaker 1: cover just recently with her new baby, Yeah British Vogue Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: and she's say I did leave some comments on this
Speaker 1: is my baby. Yes that it's very interesting to me,
Speaker 1: she said, Um, she said this is my biological baby. Yes.
Speaker 1: I was like, wow, she wanted everybody to know. So
Speaker 1: what is it? So she had a surrogate right, she
Speaker 1: had to have Yeah, who's the daddy? Well, actually I
Speaker 1: don't I can't even say that she had to have Like,
Speaker 1: do we have Naomi Campbell sightings in the past nine months? No,
Speaker 1: she was never baby is Yeah, we've never we've never
Speaker 1: seen a pregnate' and she's been walking a catwalk so
Speaker 1: she has not been pregnant. Okay, so she had a surrogate, yes,
Speaker 1: clearly with her own eggs. Yes, And who's the daddy sperm?

Speaker 1: like it would be great if we could share a
Speaker 1: personal story that if someone is willing to share it
Speaker 1: with us, um from anyone that maybe has been to
Speaker 1: the point of depression where um, you considered hurting yourself
Speaker 1: or taking your life, to help us understand what exactly
Speaker 1: does that maybe feel like, or how do you get
Speaker 1: to that point? How can people we want to know,
Speaker 1: how can people around you support you? Um See, I
Speaker 1: just want to see if there's anything we can share
Speaker 1: that's that's useful to our listeners, just to be able

Speaker 1: space and help us understand, because you know, we look
Speaker 1: at Chesley Chris. She was a former Miss US, a
Speaker 1: former Miss USA. She was so beautiful and from what
Speaker 1: we could see, you know, she was so vibrant and
Speaker 1: happy and happy and on extra and and just gorgeous

Speaker 1: Oh Melissa, Oh that her name is not Melissa, Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: but but yeah, so look, we're doing our job here
Speaker 1: we come motivate one person. That's great. Hopefully we motivated
Speaker 1: you know a lot more than that, but um, yes,
Speaker 1: thank you. Okay, this is due you. Part two okay,
Speaker 1: So do you, Robin sleep with the TV on or off?
Speaker 1: Which one on or off? Both? I'm so yes. So
Speaker 1: I fall asleep with it on. I have it's set
Speaker 1: to turn off at two am. But I have to
Speaker 1: go to sleep with the TV on. Really, I cannot
Speaker 1: stand when I'm trying to go to sleep. I can't
Speaker 1: stand complete silence and darkness. Oh wow, and I'm the
Speaker 1: complete opposite. It has to be completely dark, like if
Speaker 1: I'm at a hotel and you know how you close
Speaker 1: the blinds, if that's that little sliver, like you know
Speaker 1: that little slip, you know what I'll talk about that
Speaker 1: was that ship would drive me crazy. I would jump
Speaker 1: out the bed and like fix it and push your
Speaker 1: like couch back so that it can't move out of
Speaker 1: the sliver has to go. It has to be completely
Speaker 1: dark and everything has to be off. Really yeah, no,
Speaker 1: like I don't know what it is. I feel like
Speaker 1: winner and it's weird. So my volume is literally turned
Speaker 1: down to like seven six or seven, so you can barely.
Speaker 1: You can't really hear what the people are saying or
Speaker 1: what's going on, and it has to be on CNN.
Speaker 1: That's my lullaby. Okay, don don you are singing that's
Speaker 1: my lullaby. But it's so it's like I don't want
Speaker 1: to know what you're saying, right, Like I just need
Speaker 1: like the because I feel like if it's complete silence,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be in my brain thinking about so much stuff.
Speaker 1: Oh so this is like yeah, or soothing. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: like yeah, I'll be like, you know, just coming up
Speaker 1: with my grocery list or having conversations with myself like whatever,
Speaker 1: like my to do list, like if I don't have
Speaker 1: that noise to distract me. But you know, there's surveys
Speaker 1: that say that you don't really get good sleep. I
Speaker 1: know I have seen our to cools where they're like,
Speaker 1: you want your best sleep, turn off the t V.
Speaker 1: Don't even have a TV? Yes, like thirty minutes before Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I try to do that because my trainer, my new
Speaker 1: trainer's name is Tyrone. He's we love Tyrone. He's very expensively,
Speaker 1: he's worth every time he has me before I got
Speaker 1: go to bed plank. But for plank for a minute
Speaker 1: and do that three times. Yeah. So I'm just I'm
Speaker 1: on the floor planking, and sometimes I incorporate like push
Speaker 1: ups with it. Yes. I find though that when I
Speaker 1: work out close, like in the evening, closer to bedtime,
Speaker 1: I really can't sleep because it works you up. But
Speaker 1: like a little one minute plank three times, you can
Speaker 1: do that. I don't anyone, yes, but but I think
Speaker 1: it gets like your metabolism up a little bit, so
Speaker 1: that when you're sleeping, all the calories are just washing
Speaker 1: away and your abs yes pop out, yes, and I
Speaker 1: just wake up beautiful. That's awesome. Okay. So Robin, do
Speaker 1: you already know to answer to this? Do you drive fast?
Speaker 1: A slow? Let me tell you'll something about Robin Dixon.
Speaker 1: She is speedy Gonzalez on them streets. Okay. Robin drives
Speaker 1: so freaking fast. On time, I had to follow her
Speaker 1: somewhere and I was like, well, God, damn, does she
Speaker 1: want to lose me? Is she trying to lose me?
Speaker 1: I couldn't keep up. I think we were going around
Speaker 1: the corner. I was like, what why is she driving
Speaker 1: a hundred an? Okay? Okay? So I drive fast? Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't drive as fast as I used to, Thank god,
Speaker 1: thank god. Um, I would say I'm a halfway aggressive driver.
Speaker 1: But but I'm a defensive driver, like I'm a good driver.
Speaker 1: I'm a defensive driver. I'm checking out everything in front
Speaker 1: of me and all that type of stuff. I might
Speaker 1: move a little quicker than the most, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. Um, I'm trying to do better. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to be a little more patient in the car. When
Speaker 1: you have your kids in the car, do you feel
Speaker 1: like this is safe? Um? Sometimes they're like whoa mom. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: they're like mom. But but you know, no surprise here.
Speaker 1: Wan Dixon drives faster than Oh we already know that.
Speaker 1: We already know speedy Gonzalis. So so how did so
Speaker 1: you drive? I drive fast if only if I'm late, right, Okay,
Speaker 1: but this is the problem. So on I live on
Speaker 1: the street that I live on. I live my house
Speaker 1: is at the end, so and you know, my neighbors
Speaker 1: are very elderly. They're outside, they're walking to their dog dogs, right,
Speaker 1: They're walking their dogs and or their grandchildren. And I'm
Speaker 1: speeding down the street and they hate me. They literally stopped,
Speaker 1: they stopped. They give me the meanest looks, and they're
Speaker 1: like waving their hands like slow down, slow down, And
Speaker 1: I'm like, but I gotta get these kids to school,
Speaker 1: like back up off me and in y'all's lives, old people,
Speaker 1: we're all going to get there one day. Hopefully you'll
Speaker 1: have nothing to do but walk slow and complaint. Yes,
Speaker 1: So on my street I drive fast, but everywhere else
Speaker 1: I try to, like, you know, drop kind of slow.
Speaker 1: I've gotten a lot of tickets, so I've slowed down.
Speaker 1: Really yeah, okay, so you drive like the speedling it
Speaker 1: or a little no no? Who drives a speed limit?
Speaker 1: I'm just asking, um except my mama mother driving like
Speaker 1: what are you doing? Um? I drive a little fasterion
Speaker 1: than speed limit? Yes, yes, yes, yes, okay, Um I
Speaker 1: went in. I want to do drink coffee. I do
Speaker 1: drink coffee. And there's a story to that. I'd like
Speaker 1: to hear its story from me. So, I, for most
Speaker 1: of my adult life did not drink coffee, never had
Speaker 1: a taste for it, never liked it. But my friend Carly,
Speaker 1: who is also our d oo, years ago, years ago,
Speaker 1: invited me to her house to hang out. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: so I show up and there's some other people there
Speaker 1: that I've never met. I don't know who are these people.
Speaker 1: And if you got this briefcase of stuff in it,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, she set you up to like buy coffee.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, call these fires. Yes. So, come to
Speaker 1: find out, Carly signed up with this company selling coffee. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: and one of the coffees they were selling was a
Speaker 1: weight lost coffee. It's called burn in Control. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you the name and everything if you want to go
Speaker 1: on Amazon, because I go on Amazon and buy Annalyst
Speaker 1: instead of going through Carly. So you did cut Carlie
Speaker 1: of Callie needs her commission. If you can give Callie
Speaker 1: this commission that we don't have to pay every reasonably
Speaker 1: shading car it, Carly's commission got cut. Robin goes straight
Speaker 1: to Amazon. Robin said, I don't need the middle man.
Speaker 1: To hell with the middleman. I'm going straight to Amazon.
Speaker 1: Carlie one needs her commission, damn it. Oh my god.
Speaker 1: All right, that was supposed to go there. But okay.
Speaker 1: So it's called Ja Vita, and the coffee that I
Speaker 1: drink is Burning Control coffee. And there's sticks. It's instant
Speaker 1: coffee in a stick okay, okay, So I said you
Speaker 1: could lose weight, and at that time I was a
Speaker 1: little overweight. All it was like, you know, I usually
Speaker 1: at that time I would gain weight in the wintertime.
Speaker 1: My you know whatever, just get all puffy and stuff.
Speaker 1: So I literally had about fifteen pounds I needed to lose.
Speaker 1: I started drinking the coffee. So I said, oh, let
Speaker 1: me drink this coffee. I started drinking the coffee. I
Speaker 1: lost twelve pounds. What in like, sig what a devita at?
Speaker 1: Sign me up, Carly. I'm gonna give your commission. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna do you like Robin
Speaker 1: did you? I lost like twelve pounds in like two
Speaker 1: to three weeks. Okay. So I have been hooked and
Speaker 1: addicted to that coffee ever since Carly, how many years ago?
Speaker 1: Is at like four? Okay? So wait a minute, this
Speaker 1: is just like one cup in the morning. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: so it's one cup in the morning. I have been
Speaker 1: drinking this coffee faithfully for four years. But Carly no
Speaker 1: longer sells it with the company. And I found that
Speaker 1: it's on Amazon for a lot cheaper than which you
Speaker 1: can buy it, you know, the company, So I just
Speaker 1: get it from Amazon. But now for me, it's like
Speaker 1: I feel like if I stopped drinking it, I'm going
Speaker 1: to gain twelve pounds. Also, it's a mental thing. Okay, listen,
Speaker 1: whatever the companies need to do to trick these people
Speaker 1: and to keep staying with it, it's all. But I
Speaker 1: end up actually like now, I actually like it. And
Speaker 1: whenever I have if, and I rarely if if it's
Speaker 1: not like mine Jabuta coffee, like, I don't want it, right,
Speaker 1: So I'm not like going to Starbucks and mining coffee
Speaker 1: or dunkin Donuts. However, like in a hotel, I don't
Speaker 1: want it. But if I happen to have coffee out,
Speaker 1: I don't like it. Yeah, no I'm not. I'm not
Speaker 1: a coffee drink er. I think coffee is disgusting. It
Speaker 1: smells really weird. It has some good properties for you, yeah,
Speaker 1: it makes you sure, okay, yeah, well and it's good
Speaker 1: for your heart, right yeah, yeah, very good. And then
Speaker 1: but and I know why you don't drink coffee because
Speaker 1: you don't want your teeth to stain your your white teeth.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that well that too. But I never got
Speaker 1: into it, and I just felt like I don't want
Speaker 1: to be um depending depended on it. And for me,
Speaker 1: it's not even about the caffeine, Like I'm sorry, there's
Speaker 1: nothing in this world that gives me energy, Like nothing
Speaker 1: we know, we are clear, there's nothing that's gonna make
Speaker 1: me say, let me get up off this couch. So, Robin,
Speaker 1: do you wash your face every night? Okay? This is
Speaker 1: very important especially for women. Do you wash your face
Speaker 1: every night before bed? And do you shower every night
Speaker 1: before bed? And and or now the reason why the
Speaker 1: face washing is very important because you have to like
Speaker 1: get all of the particles in the dirt off your face,
Speaker 1: right the makeup. Okay, So I definitely have uh times
Speaker 1: when I slip and I do not fully wash my
Speaker 1: face these you're drunken nights, like what what what happened?
Speaker 1: When I'm just tired and I don't feel it's tired, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, where I just use off makeup wipe okay, bubble,
Speaker 1: So but that's still that's something, that's something, but it's

Speaker 1: Like you literally need to like get all of that
Speaker 1: dirt and grime off your face, put all your nice
Speaker 1: seer rooms on can you know, be exfoliated and the
Speaker 1: morning all that stuff. Um, So I would say, um,
Speaker 1: what percent of the time do wash my face? I'm
Speaker 1: a hundred percent. By the Really, I can maybe count
Speaker 1: on one hand how many times in the past, like
Speaker 1: twenty years I didn't do it, and I was just
Speaker 1: very drunk, really like like straight up. I just was
Speaker 1: like crawling into the bed. Yeah, I'm probably like or
Speaker 1: like maybe sixty Okay, so you really never do it?
Speaker 1: I do. That's like half the time, okay, se Okay,
Speaker 1: you're a seventy Yeah, okay, okay, it's very important. I
Speaker 1: know it is. I know. And then and then I'll
Speaker 1: be like mad because I'm like, oh, I'm my face
Speaker 1: needs to be exfiliating. Yes whatever. Yeah, it's so women
Speaker 1: y'all need to make sure you So I washed my
Speaker 1: face and then I put like about eight different products on.
Speaker 1: This is this is my situation is an absurdity. Okay
Speaker 1: when you start so yeah, so the routine is I
Speaker 1: this is all like a twenty minute thing. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: so wash my face, put all my products on. In
Speaker 1: the wintertime, it's more products because you know, skinner skin
Speaker 1: is dry all that. And then I like if I'm
Speaker 1: in the bed, like I wanted to kind of like
Speaker 1: dry before I put my head on the pillow. Right, Yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: what you should right, you want it all soak in? Right,
Speaker 1: But like, do you shower before you get into bed?
Speaker 1: I'll be getting into bed, funky, y'all. I'm just here
Speaker 1: to tell you, like, like there's some days I shower
Speaker 1: and some days it depends on my day. It depends
Speaker 1: on my day. It depends on my day. But but no,
Speaker 1: I'm not one that. Like, so some people shower at
Speaker 1: night and and go and don't shower in the morning.
Speaker 1: They go straight to work in the morning. How do
Speaker 1: you do that? Right, I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think that's nasty. Like I have to shower before
Speaker 1: I leave the house, right, So y'all people that are
Speaker 1: like showering before you go to bed and then get
Speaker 1: up in the water and just like put your clothes
Speaker 1: on and walk out, you're just you're nasty because like
Speaker 1: I sweat at night a little bit. But if they
Speaker 1: shower at night and they're just in the bed, but like,
Speaker 1: what happened, aren't you like sweating or something? I mean,
Speaker 1: maybe they don't okay, or like, but you've been in
Speaker 1: the bed sleep and I just feel like particles are
Speaker 1: landing on your face. So you don't think it's nasty.
Speaker 1: If you were like walking around town going to lunch
Speaker 1: and then you don't shower and you get good, you
Speaker 1: don't think that's nasty. I don't know, Robin, who does that?
Speaker 1: I don't know, like definitely have like if I'm out
Speaker 1: and about, yes, that that that that outside has to
Speaker 1: come off for sure. But if I'm been in the
Speaker 1: house all day, oh yeah, no, we're just getting in
Speaker 1: the bed and calling it a day. I hate doing
Speaker 1: this by I love it. So I was watching the
Speaker 1: show the other day and I was in the bed.
Speaker 1: It was actually it's called do You or and I.
Speaker 1: It's about the do your house right? And I don't
Speaker 1: want to say it was boring, but I had to
Speaker 1: read it because it was it was subtitles, right. I
Speaker 1: fell right on the sleep. That was the best sleep ever, really, Yes,
Speaker 1: with the with the TV on look at there, Yes,
Speaker 1: And I had to like fight to turn the TV off.
Speaker 1: I was like, where's the remote? Let me fight to
Speaker 1: find it. I can't find it. How many pillows do
Speaker 1: you have on your bed? Okay, my like do I
Speaker 1: sleep with or do I have on my bed? Like
Speaker 1: when it's made up, when it's made up, When it's
Speaker 1: made up, you don't count like every pillow Like yeah, okay, um,
Speaker 1: I have thirteen. I just counted you have eleven. Okay,
Speaker 1: so that's about right. It's such a freaking paint in
Speaker 1: the ask to make the bed up in the morning, right, okay,
Speaker 1: So do they all go the floor? They all go
Speaker 1: on the floor, Okay, night. Okay. So this is this
Speaker 1: is the pet. I wann't call it a pet peep.
Speaker 1: So when I get in the bed first, I take
Speaker 1: all the pillows off the bid, like, you know, all
Speaker 1: the pillows. When one gets in the bid first, he
Speaker 1: literally only takes off the pillows that affect his side.
Speaker 1: I'm like, what one don't all right? That's not nice?
Speaker 1: Like so he literally so like I'll walk in and
Speaker 1: he'll literally be like sleep like stuck on his side
Speaker 1: of the bid with all the pillows next to him
Speaker 1: because he couldn't take them off the bed. I'm like, dude,
Speaker 1: that's wrong. But it's so weird. Like even if he's
Speaker 1: on the road, even if he's not here, I have
Speaker 1: to take all the really yeah, oh no, I just
Speaker 1: like take off what needs to take off, and I
Speaker 1: actually just like move him over. Really, yes, you know
Speaker 1: they all got to come off, yes, yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: all right, so last one not least, do you? Okay?
Speaker 1: So I'm all about trying to do whatever I can
Speaker 1: to help the world, and it's um recycling because I
Speaker 1: really don't recycle. You don't, I know that's a really
Speaker 1: bad and I and I take long showers, but I
Speaker 1: do turn all the lights off, like I don't really
Speaker 1: try to like turn the light on in that room
Speaker 1: and in it, right, Okay. Do you have bags that
Speaker 1: you take to the grocery store. I do not. And
Speaker 1: you know, in Maryland, like I know in my Garmer
Speaker 1: County and had County, the charge they charge you for
Speaker 1: use bags. So how many bags did you use? And
Speaker 1: they're charge you, like, I don't know, five it's five cents.
Speaker 1: So it's so they want you to use the recycle breaks,
Speaker 1: right right, I do not. I don't know. And it's
Speaker 1: so because even I don't even have them in my
Speaker 1: car because I used to have a whole stash in
Speaker 1: my car and I would still forget to bring them
Speaker 1: into the store. And so I get to the checkoutline
Speaker 1: on me like, oh I forgot my bag, right, but
Speaker 1: I okay, but have you ever done that? And then
Speaker 1: because they know that you had the bags in your car,
Speaker 1: they don't charge you the five cents. Oh no, I've
Speaker 1: done that. Was like, oh my god, I forgot Oh okay.
Speaker 1: So they're like, okay, we'll save you some money. Yes,
Speaker 1: so you so you bring your bags in? I bring
Speaker 1: my bag? Yes, really, I um, you know I ain't
Speaker 1: all that way. But you don't recycle. It's crazy the right.
Speaker 1: So this is my contributor, This is my contribution to
Speaker 1: the whole recycling and all that. I think I'm doing
Speaker 1: better than you really because you're recycling. Okay, let me
Speaker 1: tell you what happened with my recycling, my recycled trash camp. Broke.
Speaker 1: Oh and so I just said I'm not doing this.
Speaker 1: So you didn't call the county and say my recycling
Speaker 1: trash camp Broke said to take this one and bring
Speaker 1: me another one. Robin, you have just motivated me. When
Speaker 1: we get off this podcast, I'm going to call them.
Speaker 1: It's very easy to do. Yes, I'm going to call them.
Speaker 1: I recycle, I mean not, you know, yes, to do
Speaker 1: my part. But also because the recycling, the recycling bulls
Speaker 1: take up so much space in my garbage they do,
Speaker 1: so it's like great to have it separated so that
Speaker 1: because oh my gosh, if I didn't recycle, we would
Speaker 1: be taking the trash out every every half a day,
Speaker 1: like twice a day, would Don't you take the trash
Speaker 1: out every day? Um? No, not if it's not full? Okay,
Speaker 1: So the question is do you take your trash out
Speaker 1: every day? And my trash be going out? Can I
Speaker 1: take who my trash girl is? Grace is the trash
Speaker 1: girl at my house, so she's responsible for taking the
Speaker 1: trash out every day. So she takes it outside your house? Yes?
Speaker 1: And then who takes it down your long driveway? That's

Speaker 1: got she's she has she has no jobs? Yes, So okay.
Speaker 1: So you so you empty your trash like from your
Speaker 1: kitchen or from your whole house every just from the kitchen.
Speaker 1: From the kitchen, yes, okay, because you just don't want

Speaker 1: the house because we know that that's going out, got it? Yeah, okay, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: we don't take it out everything. I mean, it almost
