Speaker 1: No? Why it's like too far? Not not that it's
Speaker 1: too far, but it's out of the way for me
Speaker 1: to get to too. Okay, yeah, okay, So.
Speaker 2: First of all, I use their bags, their paper bags,
Speaker 2: because I don't know, I just do. Yeah, them paper
Speaker 2: bags is the cheapest things I've ever seen.
Speaker 3: So I just came from them.
Speaker 2: I had two paper bags, and I picked it up
Speaker 2: to put it in the cart to drive, I mean
Speaker 2: to you know, take it to my car. I pick
Speaker 2: it up the handle brakes. It wasn't even heavy. So
Speaker 2: then I'm like carrying it and the bag.
Speaker 3: Just rips apart.
Speaker 2: Oh no, So whoever does the bag vendor, yeah, is
Speaker 2: using some some materials from China. Like it's just not
Speaker 2: right right. And so then the second bag, same thing happened.
Speaker 1: Did anything break, Nothing broke fell out, nothing fell out,
Speaker 1: But it's I had to hold it like I was
Speaker 1: holding a baby, like I had. I had to carry
Speaker 1: my bags like they change their bags.
Speaker 2: This never started, This never happened before. Yeah, so I
Speaker 2: think it's something new. They're trying to like cut corners. Yeah,
Speaker 2: don't cut corners on the bags.
Speaker 3: On the bags.
Speaker 1: They're using bamboo, I mean, you know, you know, they
Speaker 1: make like toilet paper out of bamboo. They use the
Speaker 1: paper machee. Okay, So Whole Foods, I got an issue
Speaker 1: with you.
Speaker 3: I got beef. Fix your bag, yes, fix the bags immediately.
Speaker 1: Okay that's horrible. Yes, that sucks. Yeah, that's why I
Speaker 1: always get plastic. Well, they don't even have plastic at
Speaker 1: Whole food They do not have plastic at Whole Foods.
Speaker 3: And normally I bring in my bags. Yeah right, but.
Speaker 1: Sometimes even know, if you're running in real quick, you

Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: I think I was putting some in a salad. So
Speaker 1: I had a salad and I was gonna put some
Speaker 1: eggs in my salad.
Speaker 3: I love that. So I took my.
Speaker 1: Eggs out of the bag and I put them in
Speaker 1: the microwave to heat them up. This wouldn't be you know,
Speaker 1: a little a little warm, right, not not hot, but
Speaker 1: wonder warm up? Didn't went cold eggs? Yes, this is
Speaker 1: getting good.

Speaker 1: And I'm just like in the kitchen, I'm just like, it's.
Speaker 3: All in my eyes. What what did I do? Oh?
Speaker 3: My god? Okay, first of all, why did this happen.
Speaker 3: Let's start there. I guess I've cooked them.
Speaker 1: I guess I cooked them too high, too long, and
Speaker 1: maybe that heat inside of that, I.
Speaker 3: Don't know, is that like a normal thing. So they will,
Speaker 3: so they will explode.
Speaker 1: I've seen them explode in the microwave, right, Like if
Speaker 1: you put them in a microwave and you put them
Speaker 1: on too long or too high, they explode.
Speaker 3: But I thought I didn't put them on too long
Speaker 3: or too high.
Speaker 1: When it came out, they were perfectly intact, like they
Speaker 1: hadn't started. You know, you'll see when the eggs start
Speaker 1: to kind of like split open. And Nope, none of
Speaker 1: that happened.
Speaker 3: Man, did it stink? That must have been shipped everywhere.
Speaker 1: It was everywhere, like all across my kitchen. It didn't
Speaker 1: really stink. The act well the waight did one come
Speaker 1: in and say, what does that smell? He might actually, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I think when he came in you.
Speaker 3: Could smell it.
Speaker 1: But I was like, this is what it feels like
Speaker 1: to like have a bomb explode.
Speaker 3: Like, okay, are you comparing this to wars? You know,
Speaker 3: I don't want to do that. I'm I don't know.
Speaker 3: There was not a war.
Speaker 1: Okay, but imagine this what a bomb like I totally terrible.

Speaker 2: They don't have real house wise to Dubai did not
Speaker 2: have the lifestyle that these people have. And and we
Speaker 2: always say this for a cast, it's about the chemistry.
Speaker 2: I don't think that real House was of Dubai. This
Speaker 2: is my opinion. Had chemistry amongst the cast, Like I
Speaker 2: think that was a secret to our success, Potomac success,
Speaker 2: because we all kind of knew each other a little
Speaker 2: right before we started, so we had that chemistry.
Speaker 3: These people they know.
Speaker 2: Each other, they know each other, yes, so it's great.
Speaker 2: And then this is Ibraham, Abraham whatever his name is.

Speaker 1: You have what thirty days? You have twelve days February
Speaker 1: twenty eighth. Yes, we're cutting them up, cutting all the
Speaker 1: submissions off Everruy twenty eighth. So we can get through everything.
Speaker 1: But I mean we have received some guys, but just
Speaker 1: not enough, not enough, not enough. Okay, all right, so
Speaker 1: let's get into some emails that we've received from you all. Yep,
Speaker 1: this is from one of our favorites, Shamion, with a
Speaker 1: what would you do?
Speaker 3: Or I thought?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 3: Okay, we're needing our thoughts on this situation.
Speaker 2: The last time Sha Marion sent us something, she was like,
Speaker 2: it's not me, it's my friend. But it was her,
Speaker 2: right right, So is this gonna be another one?
Speaker 1: I think this is more random. I think this is
Speaker 1: like a hypothetical type of situation. Okay, yeah, so she
Speaker 1: sends us in So this says, bro, I'm not petty,
Speaker 1: I'm just being real. I got paid on Friday. I
Speaker 1: gave my wife two hundred and fifty dollars for groceries,
Speaker 1: and I told her I wanted a nice, home cooked
Speaker 1: meal for Sunday dinner.
Speaker 3: She agreed.
Speaker 1: I got off from work and walked into the house
Speaker 1: to some mother effing tacos. What's wrong with tacos? It
Speaker 1: wasn't Tuesday, it was Sunday, Sunday tacos on a Sunday,
Speaker 1: after I requested chicken, mac and cheese, green beans, greens.
Speaker 3: It ain't Thanksgiving playing right. She bought the food. It's
Speaker 3: in the refrigerator. She had a house full.
Speaker 1: Once I showered and came out and looked at her,
Speaker 1: and within twenty minutes they all left. Her only excuse
Speaker 1: was that her kids didn't want chicken. They wanted tacos.
Speaker 1: She didn't think it would be a big deal effort
Speaker 1: them m efforts to eat what she cooks. I took
Speaker 1: her credit card. If you can't cook what I asked,
Speaker 1: and I paid the bills, you can't spend my money.
Speaker 1: Now I'm the bad guy. Using my credit card is
Speaker 1: a privilege. All this over some tacos? Did I mishandle
Speaker 1: the situation? Yes?
Speaker 3: You did? Okay? Who is this person? This writer?
Speaker 1: This is a hypothetical situation.
Speaker 3: This is a mess. Okay, this is the man is
Speaker 3: a man? Right, this is a man. Okay.
Speaker 1: He gave his wife his credit card to go buy
Speaker 1: groceries as he should, because she gives you the P word, right,
Speaker 1: yes words us s y yes, okay. Scare of your kids,
Speaker 1: of your kids, so that's not They don't have kids,
Speaker 1: he said, her, well, I think he said, her kids.
Speaker 2: But this is the thing, like, you don't get a
Speaker 2: gold star for taking care of the household sir, that's
Speaker 2: what you're supposed.
Speaker 3: To be doing.
Speaker 1: I see it both ways, though, I understand the frustration, right,
Speaker 1: because he.
Speaker 3: He I understand the frustration.
Speaker 1: He gave her money to go buy groceries and let's
Speaker 1: and you put in a request. Yes, yes, he put
Speaker 1: the requests and let's cook a good meal. But then
Speaker 1: he saw that the kids with the kids wanted trumped
Speaker 1: what he wanted. Yes, So I feel like the issue
Speaker 1: is more so like not that you didn't cook what
Speaker 1: I wanted, but it's like you cooked what they wanted, right,
Speaker 1: And I, you know, and I gave you the money
Speaker 1: to I put in the request, and I gave you
Speaker 1: money to get what I request.
Speaker 3: My question is are you fed? Player? You're fed? Right?
Speaker 2: You you have something to eat, just speak. You can
Speaker 2: have chicken tomorrow, okay. But this is what I don't
Speaker 2: like this.
Speaker 3: I don't like you. You're taking the credit card.
Speaker 1: So you're now punishing me right for feeding my children.
Speaker 3: Right. It's see, there's another issue there.
Speaker 1: It's the whole money situation, because like some couples, it's like, Okay,
Speaker 1: your your money is our money. But clearly in this situation, Okay,
Speaker 1: his money is his money and her money is her money.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: But I just want all women to know if you're
Speaker 2: with a man and he makes more money, his money
Speaker 2: is y'all's money. Right, Your money is your money, right, Okay.
Speaker 2: I just want to put that out there for the
Speaker 2: women and any man that every thinks is gonna date me.
Speaker 3: Okay, right, okay, right right.
Speaker 1: So so I feel like that is like part of
Speaker 1: that's that's that's the wrong that's the real issue. Like okay,
Speaker 1: like why are you stripping over the fact that you
Speaker 1: gave her money to get groceries?
Speaker 3: Like you should be doing that.
Speaker 1: Anyway, that's that's a requirement, right Yeah. So so for me,
Speaker 1: it's like not as much about the money. It's more
Speaker 1: about you requested chicken and waffles or chicken and greens. Yes,
Speaker 1: and she made tacos because the kids want to tacos.
Speaker 1: So it's more like, you know, are you going to
Speaker 1: are you cooking for the husband or are you cooking
Speaker 1: for the kids.
Speaker 2: You're cook Okay, So do you have that problem in
Speaker 2: this household? Because I could see because like that would.
Speaker 1: Never I don't you don't have the kind yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so it's funny. I actually do lean more towards cooking
Speaker 1: what the kids want, yes, than cooking what wal wants.
Speaker 3: Why, just curious, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, because the kids should eat whatever you give them, right, yeah, but.
Speaker 3: Like, but don't husbands come and go, but kids are fav.
Speaker 4: I'm just saying I think it's more about like you
Speaker 4: you want them to eat, yeah, right, and you know, yes,
Speaker 4: your kids should eat whatever you give them, but a
Speaker 4: lot of times they don't, right.
Speaker 1: You know, there's kids that refuse or they don't eat
Speaker 1: as much or whatever, and so you just want to
Speaker 1: make your life easier and everyone around you by cooking
Speaker 1: what the kids want.
Speaker 2: And when my question is like there was when I
Speaker 2: was growing up there we had no option. Yeah, you
Speaker 2: ate what was cooked, what was cooked, and that included
Speaker 2: my father, right, he ate whatever my mom cooked, right,
Speaker 2: So there was no like gone should be the day
Speaker 2: where we're like all trying to this is not a restaurant. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we can't be like I want chicken and I want
Speaker 2: fish and I want no Right.
Speaker 1: Whatever Ryben cooks, you eat it, Yeah, so sir, whatever
Speaker 1: your wife cooks, eat it right, suck it up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then she could have made it the next day. Yeah. Like,
Speaker 3: but you're gonna take a credit card take it back.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: He acted a fool, So you shady for that. So
Speaker 3: if you're asking us, this is shady, it's shady. Okay, Okay,
Speaker 3: all right, he acted a fool. Yeah, he was a baby.
Speaker 3: He didn't get his way. He didn't get his ways.
Speaker 3: And guess what, you're not gonna get sex for a month. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Okay, So I want to talk about crumble Cookie because
Speaker 1: this is a follow up.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay.
Speaker 2: Crumble Cookie reportedly explores a two billion dollars sale with

Speaker 2: I'm not mad at at all.
Speaker 3: We're gonna check it out. Okay, let's do we have
Speaker 3: one more to read?
Speaker 2: Okay, But but before we read it, I just wanted
Speaker 2: to say one more thing because I'm on.
Speaker 3: A roll, okay, and when I get on a roll,
Speaker 3: watch out. Okay.
Speaker 1: So I want to tell you this because this applies
Speaker 1: to me and you. Okay, So this is exclusive.
Speaker 2: So the worlds there's a man and he is like
Speaker 2: self proclaimed, like the world's smartest man, and he believes
Speaker 2: that a higher i Q, the higher your i Q,
Speaker 2: the greater your need for gossip.
Speaker 3: And I said, exactly, is that right? He said, that's right.
Speaker 3: I said, that's the story of my life. Really, yes,
Speaker 3: that's what it is. Super smart. But I need a
Speaker 3: little gossip every now, balance balance that out.
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, I need and YouTube you too, because because
Speaker 1: when I call you and I give you the tea.
Speaker 3: You're not like, just it off the phone. I take it.
Speaker 3: I drink it, Yes, you drink it? What else? And
Speaker 3: so so listen.
Speaker 2: It just shows you all that we are smart girls
Speaker 2: because we need a little gospel every now and again.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, balance, this is what I like. But there's
Speaker 1: a science.
Speaker 2: To gossip, like it has to be true. Like I
Speaker 2: hate like made up gossip. Yeah, yeah, I can't take
Speaker 2: the lines.
Speaker 1: That's like, like I don't get my information from media takeout?
Speaker 3: Do they still exists?
Speaker 1: Think so child media take out? Just be clear, it's
Speaker 1: a lie, TMC. It's the truth, the truth, yes, TMC.
Speaker 1: We uh we stand by TMZ. Yes, yeah, I'll be
Speaker 1: waiting to see what they say TMZ. And the court
Speaker 1: records and the court yes, the pup. The case search, yes,
Speaker 1: case search, don't do a good case yes, totally. Okay,
Speaker 1: we got we got one more. I need some advice,
Speaker 1: so this is real advice she needs. I have a
Speaker 1: best friend who has a baby who is my god
Speaker 1: daughter by a childhood friend who I grew up with.
Speaker 1: So in the beginning when they were dating before the
Speaker 1: child everything was great, and then she found out when
Speaker 1: she found out she was pregnant things took a turn.
Speaker 1: He started disappearing, he started doing all the weird things
Speaker 1: men do you know. So fast forward, he came to
Speaker 1: the ginger of gender reveal. But he missed the baby
Speaker 1: shower and the baby's birth. So my best friend was
Speaker 1: like Kim and she wanted nothing to do with him.
Speaker 3: He missed the birth of the child.
Speaker 1: Yep, oh wow, missed the baby shower and the birth
Speaker 1: of the child.
Speaker 3: Damn.
Speaker 1: Okay, So now the friend is like she wants nothing
Speaker 1: to do with the father of her child.
Speaker 3: Good.
Speaker 1: So he recently reached out to me to try to
Speaker 1: get back in the baby's life before it's too late. Now,
Speaker 1: mind you, the baby is two years old. So I
Speaker 1: texted my friend and let her know he was reaching out,
Speaker 1: which I already knew she wasn't having it. But I
Speaker 1: also ignored his message, and he messaged me again and
Speaker 1: asked if he could go through me to get the
Speaker 1: baby stuff. So this is where I need advice.
Speaker 3: Wait me and get the baby stuff like close around.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, So he like wants to be in the
Speaker 1: baby's life and give the baby stuff. Should I let
Speaker 1: him get the baby things and say they are from me?
Speaker 1: Or should I tell him to just give it up
Speaker 1: because my best friend doesn't want anything.
Speaker 3: To do with them.
Speaker 2: No, you should tell your best friend what's going on,
Speaker 2: because this is actually the father of the child. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and allow him to buy whatever the hell he wants.
Speaker 3: He could buy whatever he wants for his child.
Speaker 2: Yes, and it comes from him, It don't come you
Speaker 2: never gonna pass these gifts off to a third part
Speaker 2: already to pretend.
Speaker 3: Like, because then what's the point? Yeah, what's the point.
Speaker 1: But also I feel like I understand the mother's anger
Speaker 1: and frustration towards him, like he wasn't there when she
Speaker 1: needed him to be. But I don't think anyone should
Speaker 1: ever cut a parent out of a child's life. Fact,
Speaker 1: it's never too late for that person to, you know,
Speaker 1: regret what they did and try to make things better.
Speaker 1: So just because you're angry at that person for their
Speaker 1: behavior or your relationship isn't where you want it to be,
Speaker 1: you should never keep that person out of their child's life.
Speaker 3: I hate it when people do that. Hate it.
Speaker 1: I think it's because like you're using the child, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: as like a kind of like a weapon. Yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Like you have to find a way to now. Now,
Speaker 1: if that other parent is like totally irresponsible a thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: But if this parent wants to be in that child's life,
Speaker 1: regardless of how you feel about him, what your relationship is,
Speaker 1: what he did in the past to you, or whatever,
Speaker 1: you cannot prevent him from being in his child's life.
Speaker 1: So MEMI, you just gotta tell him and this goes.
Speaker 1: I mean, this happens a lot. So this, this scenario
Speaker 1: that med Me presented all the time, is not unique, right,
Speaker 1: It's not something that even in like a divorce. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, a divorce. I mean I see it like
