Speaker 1: Welcome to Reasonably Shady, a production of The Black Effect
Speaker 1: Podcast Network and iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: Welcome to another episode of Reasonably Shady. I am Jaselle Bryant.
Speaker 2: What's that? What's up? I'm Robin Dixon. Thank you for
Speaker 2: being here with us. What's again again? Can I do
Speaker 2: this whole episode in an accent? Yes? As if I'm
Speaker 2: from London? Please try, please try, Okay, I will do it.
Speaker 1: I don't want to offend anyone from the UK. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: so maybe I should stop. Then let's just not say
Speaker 1: where the accent is from. Oh, okay, I mean an accent.
Speaker 2: I would be so I think I would have just
Speaker 2: accomplished so much more in life if I was born
Speaker 2: with an accent. You think so? If you think I would,
Speaker 2: I Do'm not be running a country or something.
Speaker 1: I think people would like give you everything that you want?
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yeah, Or i'd be running something. I would
Speaker 2: be the president of something if I had an accent. Okay,
Speaker 2: I will try it. You're gonna try it? Or no? No? Okay, okay, anyway,
Speaker 2: do you have a shady moment? Do you have a
Speaker 2: shady moment? Yeah? I do? Okay, so you know it's
Speaker 2: basketball life for me right now. Yeah, but you've been traveling?
Speaker 2: Like what's that about?
Speaker 1: Yes, so we had this past weekend, we had a
Speaker 1: basketball tournament for Carter.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he's AAU two. Is this a what is this? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean that's like a broad term, but yeah, he's
Speaker 1: playing travel basketball. I just call it travel basketball as
Speaker 1: AAU AU is it doesn't really like it. The AAU
Speaker 1: organization does not run these tournaments. So like you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, like anyone can host a tournament. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not technically an AAU tournament, do you.
Speaker 2: Know what I mean? That makes sense? This is another
Speaker 2: division or something. Yeah.
Speaker 1: We we just we just use AAU as a broad
Speaker 1: term to refer to like youth basketball. Yes, so I
Speaker 1: just try to like say, call it either travel basketball.
Speaker 2: Just youth basketball. So we'll call it travel yeah, because
Speaker 2: AAU is like it's really only.
Speaker 1: AAU if you're playing in an AAU sponsored tournament.
Speaker 2: Got heading on AAU just for no. No, I'm not, no,
Speaker 2: I'm not.
Speaker 1: I'm just clarifying. Okay, Yes, I think people just call
Speaker 1: everything AAU.
Speaker 2: And it's not.
Speaker 1: Oh it's not okay, okay, So travel basketball. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: we're going to this tournament. It's in York, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: So York, Pennsylvania is like an hour and ten minutes
Speaker 1: from my house, so there's no need for us to
Speaker 1: stay overnight.
Speaker 2: It's that close York. Is that where Hershey Park is? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Oh okay, yes, been there is? Yeah? Did you stop
Speaker 2: and get some chocolate? No? Oh okay, I would have
Speaker 2: done that for sure. Stop the basketball game. I must
Speaker 2: pick up hurshy, yes, which you can get it from
Speaker 2: the grocery store. Not saying it's fresher at the plant.
Speaker 2: That's true, Yeah, go ahead, that's true. Okay.
Speaker 1: So so the games are on Saturday.
Speaker 2: There's like multiple shady things about this tournament. The games.
Speaker 1: Carter's games were scheduled for a Saturday at one game
Speaker 1: at seven forty pm at night, okay, and then on
Speaker 1: Sunday morning at eight am okay, and then Sunday afternoon
Speaker 1: at two thirty okay.
Speaker 2: Okay, this is like a weekend. That's yeah, every weekend
Speaker 2: is the weekend. Okay.
Speaker 1: So because it's an hour and ten minutes away, we're
Speaker 1: not getting a hotel room, right, so we're just driving up,
Speaker 1: playing the game and coming home and driving back. Okay, okay, especially,
Speaker 1: and there's no hotels in New York, right, none that.
Speaker 2: I want to stay in.
Speaker 1: Yes, they're definitely hotels, but there just one. There's one,
Speaker 1: isn't it's it's near the hershey people. Okay, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: I stayed there. Yeah, we try not to if we
Speaker 1: don't have to stay in a hotel. We don't want to,
Speaker 1: Like I want to limit as mini.
Speaker 2: Hotels days as possible.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, So we're driving up there, driving back, so
Speaker 1: imagine just first of all, the schedule itself is problematic.
Speaker 1: Seven forty at night, play a game, drive back home. Yeah,
Speaker 1: eight o'clock game in the morning. You still you gotta
Speaker 1: get there early, so that means we got to leave
Speaker 1: our house at like six thirty in the morning. First
Speaker 1: of all, you're not getting home Friday night or Saturday
Speaker 1: night until like what midnight? Like oh yeah, yeah, like
Speaker 1: eleven ish ram okay exactly, So getting home late next morning,
Speaker 1: leaving leaving by six thirty, okay, So that's problematic. Then
Speaker 1: the other part is you give us an eight eight am,
Speaker 1: eight am game and then we don't play again until
Speaker 1: six hours later at two thirty pm.
Speaker 2: So you're just hanging out all day. So yes, just
Speaker 2: hanging out in York, in York, Pennsylvania. So that so
Speaker 2: that already was problemat shout out to York. But here's
Speaker 2: where like the real killer part was.
Speaker 1: Okay, we drive up Saturday, so thunderstorm, it's raining, cats
Speaker 1: and dog. You can't even see out the window when
Speaker 1: you're driving. We get there and the other team did
Speaker 1: not show up.
Speaker 2: What do you understand?
Speaker 1: And the admission is forty eight dollars like for the
Speaker 1: weekend for the parents?
Speaker 2: Yes, what do you mean parents have to pay? What? Yes? Why?
Speaker 1: This is a racket travel basketball, youth basketball, au basketball, whatever.
Speaker 2: You want to call it is a money grab. Okay,
Speaker 2: wait why do you have to pay to watch your child?
Speaker 2: Parents shouldn't have to pay if rando's were coming from
Speaker 2: the street. Okay, maybe five dollars entry, fifteen dollars max.
Speaker 1: Oh no, we pay what we pay every tournament.
Speaker 2: Oh no, I'm mad about this. It's either it.
Speaker 1: Could be ten dollars mission, twenty dollars mission, forty dollars mission,
Speaker 1: fifty dollars million.
Speaker 2: Tell me what this money is going to for you
Speaker 2: to sit in the gym.
Speaker 1: The people who are this is a business the people
Speaker 1: who are running these tournaments are making money. It's this
Speaker 1: is a this is their full on bats.
Speaker 2: But I thought the I thought the purpose of these
Speaker 2: tournaments is that, right, turn tournaments.
Speaker 1: Okay, my grandma, my grandmother, my mother calls them tournaments.
Speaker 2: I think that's what my mother says too. That's why
Speaker 2: I'm correcting myself in the tournament. My mother. By the way,
Speaker 2: my mother just called y'all and she wants some embellished
Speaker 2: hats from Robin. Yes, that she asked for three years ago.
Speaker 2: That Robin still has not sense they're in the mail.
Speaker 2: And it might be because I didn't give Robin the address,
Speaker 2: but that's not the point. Okay. My mother is like,
Speaker 2: where my hat? Dad, Robbin. Wait a minute, No, actually
Speaker 2: my mother thanked Robin for the hats, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: Robin using her hats. Robin, He's like, no, my mother
Speaker 2: being shady. Okay, right, so thank you for the hats.
Speaker 2: They fit so beautifully. I was like, okay, So the
Speaker 2: I thought the purpose of these tournaments was for like recruits,
Speaker 2: scouts to look at these kids so that one day
Speaker 2: they can, you know, go to a great college or
Speaker 2: the pros. Okay, so not to rape the parents.
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, no, that's that is the state of youth
Speaker 1: sports today. Wow, there are tournaments every weekend all over
Speaker 1: the country. There are no college scouts there. It is
Speaker 1: simply who's there, their parents, the parents. Yeah, it's simply
Speaker 1: for teams to play other teams from like other areas,
Speaker 1: because it's like, okay, when you stay local, you play
Speaker 1: your local teams and you end up kind of like
Speaker 1: playing the same teams all the time. Yea, And so
Speaker 1: you know, the thing for these tribal tournaments is so
Speaker 1: that you go and you travel and you play these
Speaker 1: other teams from other places, and you know, it helps,
Speaker 1: you know, with your development, it helps get you better
Speaker 1: and you learn to play the game and blah blah
Speaker 1: blah blah and all of this stuff. And I literally
Speaker 1: this weekend was like, this is such a racket because
Speaker 1: youth sports has been so watered down because look what
Speaker 1: you're saying, like how you understand it is.
Speaker 2: How it used to be. Oh okay, like.
Speaker 1: How when when WAM is in high school, it's like
Speaker 1: if you were playing on a you know, a travel
Speaker 1: team and you were traveling different places to play basketball,
Speaker 1: you were number one one of the best players in
Speaker 1: your city totally.
Speaker 2: You know, you're being scouted.
Speaker 1: Yes, and you're there because there's college coaches scouting you,
Speaker 1: or you're or they're like tune up tournaments to get
Speaker 1: ready for the college coaches. But now it's like every kid,
Speaker 1: any kid that plays basketball, is on a travel team
Speaker 1: and so it's becomes so water so you're not even
Speaker 1: like honing your skills because you're playing people that aren't
Speaker 1: even really that good that or you have kids that
Speaker 1: sit on the bench like they might be on a
Speaker 1: team that's good and this kid is not the greatest,
Speaker 1: and you're just sitting on the bench and then you
Speaker 1: get for like three minutes a half and like you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's it's a racket.
Speaker 2: It's really bad. So I was, so it's just a lot.
Speaker 2: So it's like we go up there.
Speaker 1: You spend fifty dollars for admission for a person that's
Speaker 1: a hundred one and Corey, we brought all one.
Speaker 2: Hundred and fifty dollars. Right, this is getting expensive. Yeah,
Speaker 2: oh yeah, it's crazy in the gas.
Speaker 1: Gas imagine the people who do stay in hotels every
Speaker 1: time crazy And then like for me, for like Corey
Speaker 1: stuff wrecking.
Speaker 2: On planes, yes, but I would think it is better. Yeah.
Speaker 1: His is like legit, it's the Nike eybl circuits. Like
Speaker 1: next weekend, it'll be every college coach in America.
Speaker 2: Will be there. Okay, this is really good. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: thank god.
Speaker 1: But we've what we have been doing, you know, since
Speaker 1: Corey was in third grade. Shit, I remember traveling to
Speaker 1: Miami when Corey was in first grade for a bas
Speaker 1: I think I remember that tournament and I was like,
Speaker 1: this is stupid, this is but you did it.
Speaker 2: You was all up in there. I did it. But
Speaker 2: then at the Fountain Blue, I was like, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: get my tent and I'm gonna watch my key. But
Speaker 2: it's it's a hustle.
Speaker 1: Those these businesses that's crazy, are making so much money
Speaker 1: because people are paying this.
Speaker 2: People pay to get in. So wait a minute, but
Speaker 2: outside of the parents, right, who's in the who's in
Speaker 2: the gym? Nobody exactly, So you're not making that much money.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, like think about okay, this organization, they
Speaker 1: are running a circuit, right, So the circuit means like
Speaker 1: they you play three different sessions in three different cities,
Speaker 1: and based on your record, you make it the championship weekend.
Speaker 1: So you have so they have four weekends where they're
Speaker 1: collecting money at the door. They have five hundred something
Speaker 1: teams that are paying five hundred dollars each to get
Speaker 1: in to register. Then sometimes they get the parking lot.
Speaker 1: Sometimes they get concession. They show I'm about to get
Speaker 1: a free soda, they sell merchis right, you can go
Speaker 1: to hell with the mergency.
Speaker 2: Oh and think about it.
Speaker 1: So every kid on the team usually brings a parent
Speaker 1: or two, or a sibling or a grandparents. Siblings like
Speaker 1: day at home grandparents. No, yeah, so my parents go
Speaker 1: to every single game.
Speaker 2: Tell your mother she to go to bingo. She cannot
Speaker 2: come to the games. It's too expensive. Yeah, this is ridiculous.
Speaker 2: Yeah okay, yeah no, that's why I had girls.
Speaker 1: So if you have ten kids on one team and
Speaker 1: they each bring you know, at least two people with them, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: two parents or a parents, sibling and grandparents.
Speaker 2: That's twenty people each team that you're collected from the
Speaker 2: door you have. We're doing the matter. How many teams
Speaker 2: come through the door. Yeah, I might, I might need
Speaker 2: to change my job.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I need to start a basketball league.
Speaker 2: Yeah no, it's crazy. How can I get down? It's crazy.
Speaker 2: It's crazy, And if I probably want to start a league,
Speaker 2: it's probably like somebody's trying to stop me from doing
Speaker 2: it because there's like, no I have this area, and
Speaker 2: I have this area. Well, I mean, it takes a
Speaker 2: lot of like kind of like the drug game. You
Speaker 2: cannot come in my territory, could be.
Speaker 1: It takes a lot of like marketing and promo in
Speaker 1: these these companies, they have their Instagram and so they
Speaker 1: have footage of the kids and oh, look at this kid,
Speaker 1: make this play, and then people get off.
Speaker 2: It's it's get all hyped up for it. It's a
Speaker 2: freaking mess.
Speaker 1: And it's a mess because at this age before before
Speaker 1: high school, none of this matters, none of it, and
Speaker 1: people get really good. But you're doing it with Carter,
Speaker 1: I know, because it's like you're perpetuating the system. I know,
Speaker 1: because it's it's like you're damned if you do You're
Speaker 1: damned if you don't.
Speaker 2: I'd be damned if I don't. I'm not I'm not
Speaker 2: doing it. Okay, it's not happening. This is some foolishness.
Speaker 2: This is this is how I feel about people paying
Speaker 2: people who send their kids to like these really really
Speaker 2: really expensive private schools for kindergarten, right, sixty thousand dollars
Speaker 2: for kindergarten. What the hell are you doing? What are
Speaker 2: they learning? Right? Right? Right?
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're not more they're they're learning how to speak Chinese.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, they're not smarter than my kids. I promise you, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I promise you. Yeah. No, it's crazy.
Speaker 1: So yeah, so for us to do all that and
Speaker 1: show up and the team wasn't even there, that was
Speaker 1: like it was we were very pissed.
Speaker 2: Yeah. That well, and they couldn't give you, like a
Speaker 2: text message, they say, turn.
Speaker 1: No, they didn't tell anyone. The team did not notify
Speaker 1: the tournament director. They weren't showing up.
Speaker 2: Okay, this is just rude. Yeah, okay, I have a
Speaker 2: shady moment. So Grace, my oldest child, she is now
Speaker 2: twenty years old. Twenty year olds are interesting because, like
Speaker 2: you know, it's it's really like their life could go
Speaker 2: in either direction, for great or for bad, right, for
Speaker 2: greater or for worse whatever. Anyway, So she's she was
Speaker 2: on her way, she's done with the semester on her
Speaker 2: In the following day, she was coming home and so
Speaker 2: she says to me, she's still at school. She was like, man,
Speaker 2: I have to talk to you. I said, okay, let's talk.
Speaker 2: She's talking. She's pregnant, That's what I said. So wait
Speaker 2: a minute. So she says, Mine, I have to talk
Speaker 2: to you. I said, okay, start talking. She said no, no,
Speaker 2: I think I think it should be like in person.
Speaker 2: Oh oh shit. So I said, oh god, she's dropping
Speaker 2: out of school. She's pregnant, which one is Robin's exactly
Speaker 2: what I said.
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm racking my brain and I'm and I'm
Speaker 1: calling her occasionally for like a check in, right, And
Speaker 1: she's acting cool okay, So I said, okay, So I
Speaker 1: picked her up from the airport and I'm trying to
Speaker 1: be cool and I don't say anything.
Speaker 2: I don't want to like slammer with Let's talk about Okay,
Speaker 2: what is it? So I wait, because Grace is not
Speaker 2: a morning person and she got in early in the morning. Okay, okay.
Speaker 2: So I even had a whole day go by. Okay.
Speaker 2: So next day I said, hey, I thought you wanted
Speaker 2: to talk to me. So she was like, I do.
Speaker 2: I said, now is the time, right? So she said, okay, Mom,
Speaker 2: so I'm I'm ready for I'm dropping out of school,
Speaker 2: I'm pregnant, I have an only fan. Oh, I have
Speaker 2: an only fan. I'm now a drug addict. I'm thinking
Speaker 2: of all kinds of horrible things. So she says, well,
Speaker 2: so you know my friend group, and I said, yeah,
Speaker 2: like her girlfriend group. She was like, Brandy is twenty
Speaker 2: one and she's having a party this summer in Miami.
Speaker 2: So I was like, great for Brandy. Right, So she
Speaker 2: was like, well, Brandy and her family are going to
Speaker 2: get the hotel so oh God. So like, well, mom,
Speaker 2: how am I going to get there? Oh? So they're
Speaker 2: like what damn it? A Mada asked. I was like,
Speaker 2: so all of this build up was for me to
Speaker 2: buy you, buy you a flight, a plane ticket. She
Speaker 2: could have texted you, now, I said, aren't you thank you?
Speaker 2: She could have she texted me that any other time
Speaker 2: this build up, I said, Grace, I thought you was
Speaker 2: pregnant or jopping high school, or you know, decided to
Speaker 2: you know, be a heroin addict or something. So she
Speaker 2: was like, what why would you think that? Because you
Speaker 2: built this shit up and all you care about is
Speaker 2: my money? Right, just asked me for the money. So
Speaker 2: I told her, don't ever do that again. No, if
Speaker 2: you need money or need me to buy something, just
Speaker 2: say it. Yes. The end, Oh my gosh, that was ship.
Speaker 2: That would have me on pins and needles. Yes, I'm like,
Speaker 2: in my mama, I gotta call my mama and tell
Speaker 2: my mama that Grace is a drug addict. I was like,
Speaker 2: I don't want to have that conversation. The hell is this.
Speaker 1: Kid?
Speaker 2: This child is a mess. Why did why did she
Speaker 2: need the build up for that? I don't know, I
Speaker 2: don't get it. So I said, Grace, I'll buy you
Speaker 2: a stupid ass ticket, okay, Because at this point, I'm like,
Speaker 2: this is way better than I thought. Maybe that's why
Speaker 2: she did it. That's why she did the building up.
Speaker 2: Like let me, let me, let me get my mom.
Speaker 2: I was like, do you want to first class? You
Speaker 2: could sit first class? Because this is this is ridiculous.
Speaker 2: That's why she did it. She's like, I'm a maker.
Speaker 2: Think it's really bad, and really I just want to
Speaker 2: go to Miami. I just want to go to Miami
Speaker 2: for the weekend. I said, But I did. I always
Speaker 2: tell her, you know these kids because the door was
Speaker 2: talking about oh a door went to Virginia Beach for
Speaker 2: like beach week or something. It was really just a weekend,
Speaker 2: and she was like, well, so and so's family is
Speaker 2: gonna get the room, the room where I need to
Speaker 2: know what rat trap you're staying, because I don't want that.
Speaker 2: I want you to stay.
Speaker 1: Somewhere decent, because these hotels will give you bed bugs
Speaker 1: for life in your hair. But I feel like your butt,
Speaker 1: that's I know, we don't want vagina. Oh my god, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stop, please no, But I feel like I
Speaker 1: get you on that, like you want them to have
Speaker 1: a nice experience, but I almost feel like that's a
Speaker 1: rite of passage to like bed bugs, not bed bugs
Speaker 1: like you know, little rinky dink hotel. Like I mean,
Speaker 1: I just remember being in college going to Miami and
Speaker 1: staying in the room. It was I don't know, we
Speaker 1: stayed in the hotel. It was like way down Ocean
Speaker 1: Drive and it was like eight of us in a
Speaker 1: room and one of us in the sleeping in the closet,
Speaker 1: and like you know.
Speaker 2: Or even I did that too, yeah yeah, yeah, and
Speaker 2: it was I paid for the freaking room. I was
Speaker 2: so bizzed, right right, you you broke bitches, and I
Speaker 2: got to sleep literally not in the closet at the door, right,
Speaker 2: that was my bed, right. Yeah. Yes, I was like,
Speaker 2: if y'all don't anyway, I don't want to digress, yes, or.
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean I've slept in all the nasty yes,
Speaker 1: I mean never again, but again.
Speaker 2: I got ring worms in a hotel in Hampton.
Speaker 1: Oh, I believe it. Yeah, totally, I believe it. I've
Speaker 1: gotten warped on my feet. I'm from being in Ocean
Speaker 1: City at wart on the on the bottom.
Speaker 2: Of my foot. I just don't want my kids to
Speaker 2: have to go through that. Then I got to take
Speaker 2: them to the doctor because they got ring worms. Right. Okay,
Speaker 2: So I saw this on Instagram. This is age requirement
Speaker 2: and this is actually not for use just for me, okay, okay,
Speaker 2: because everybody knows I've lived the cougar life. Okay, Okay,
Speaker 2: So this is age requirement. So if you're broke up,
Speaker 2: would be a cougar? Oh?
Speaker 1: Is this the category? I think I fall into the
Speaker 1: category of a cougar?
Speaker 2: Okay? So age requirement for being an auntie a cougar
Speaker 2: with viral Okay, so if you're an auntie ooh, shoot,
Speaker 2: if you're an auntie, you're twenty eight to thirty four.
Speaker 2: I disagree with that.
Speaker 1: I disagree with that big time. That's like hot girl. Yeah, girl,
Speaker 1: you're still a hot girl.
Speaker 2: No, because that's like, how old is Ashley? Thirty something? Six?
Speaker 1: Mane oh she might be a little bit older, but like, yeah,
Speaker 1: think about Ashley like her first few seasons on Potomac, Like,
Speaker 1: no one is calling her auntie?
Speaker 2: No, no, he was just what do you call it? Thought? Thought? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's thought thought. So yes, So twenty to thirty four,
Speaker 2: sh'd be thirty sure?
Speaker 1: I mean or Hatti Hatti okay, Hatti, yes, okay, let's
Speaker 1: call him hoty.
Speaker 2: Let's give them the okay, the whole.
Speaker 1: Art okay, but who is actually I take pride in
Speaker 1: any hold them that I've done.
Speaker 2: I take pride in my whole them.
Speaker 1: But okay, you could take pride in it. But let's
Speaker 1: not like glorify it.
Speaker 2: Why not? I mean, I mean, if you hold responsibly,
Speaker 2: what's wrong with that? Do you want that for your daughters? No?
Speaker 2: All right, I'm talking about myself. Okay, then no, my
Speaker 2: daughters are not they're not horse Yeah, it's not. It's
Speaker 2: just me yeah, okay, wait, yeah, all right, so we'll
Speaker 2: give that hottie. So thirty five to forty one cougar.
Speaker 2: I don't agree with that each No, I don't agree
Speaker 2: with that. Cool okay, So thirty eight to forty one
Speaker 2: should be that can be Auntie, that's Auntie. Yeah, that
Speaker 2: can be Auntie. That's Auntie. Soone with Hattie Auntie, all right,
Speaker 2: and then forty two to forty five it says cougar Auntie. No,
Speaker 2: that's I feel like these age gaps need, these age
Speaker 2: ranges need to need to need to be longer. Yeah right,
Speaker 2: because I feel like Auntie should go to like forty five. Yes,
Speaker 2: Auntie should definitely go to forty five. Yeah, okay, so
Speaker 2: definitely kicking cougar out right now. I think cougar is
Speaker 2: forty five, forty six and up. Yeah, you're a cougar.
Speaker 2: This is you're a Thundercat. I'm in a Thundercap. I
Speaker 2: like Thundercat better than Cougar, I know.
Speaker 1: I like the way that's so, yes, Thundercat coming through.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, everybody grge you're loin. So So when would
Speaker 1: ThunderCats start? So if Couger starts it, no, Cougar starts
Speaker 1: at forty fifty fifty Thundercat. Okay, I'm in my Thundercat season,
Speaker 1: and yeah, we need to revise that.
Speaker 2: I like, Yes, well we just did. I like that.
Speaker 2: We just revised it. Okay, what you got?
Speaker 1: Okay, So I have a couple of questions for you.
Speaker 1: What do you think about people wearing sunglasses, like out
Speaker 1: in public during the day.
Speaker 2: That's when you're supposed to wear them.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I'm sorry, not outside, not outside, inside in
Speaker 1: the okay, in the evening, all right, specifically right, So,
Speaker 1: I was watching the basketball game. It was a Knicks game,
Speaker 1: and Sierra and Russell Wilson are at the next game. Okay,
Speaker 1: both have sung glasses on at the basketball game. Yeah, like, okay,
Speaker 1: what do we think about that?
Speaker 2: Okay? So, okay, let me break this down because this
Speaker 2: is this is Gazelle. Yeah, so I would wear sunglasses
Speaker 2: inside if I haven't gotten like my makeup done, and
Speaker 2: I look crazy, right, and I'm not trying to just deal. Okay,
Speaker 2: But Sierra, you've got your makeup done, you're at the
Speaker 2: you're at the game, you sit in court size, right,
Speaker 2: So take the glasses.
Speaker 1: And Russell, you're not wearing makeup. You don't, you don't,
Speaker 1: we don't need, you don't need.
Speaker 2: It's gonna do whatever Sierra says for him to do, so,
Speaker 2: like because he's that dude. Yeah, so that's gonna speaking
Speaker 2: to Sierra, right, stop it. Okay, Yeah, you're at the game. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think it's so.
Speaker 1: I think it's like so corny when people are in
Speaker 1: those scenarios. Yeah, they're wearing sunglasses at a basketball game. Like,
Speaker 1: but then I had a flip side thoughts, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: and I said, maybe they're wearing the sunglasses so that
Speaker 1: they don't have to make eye contact with people. So
Speaker 1: they don't so people don't see them looking at them. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: and so that the people if they were to make
Speaker 1: contact eye contact with someone, the people don't know, and
Speaker 1: so they don't feel like, oh, let me go say hi,
Speaker 1: let me go talk to them, because I just can't.
Speaker 2: I'm like, Russell Wilson, why are you wearing sunglasses? Like?
Speaker 1: I get the you know, women sometimes we do it
Speaker 1: because it's, oh, it's coolest part of the outfit, But
Speaker 1: why is somebody like Rocky Wilson wearing sunglasses?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: So that was the only rationale I could come up
Speaker 1: with even though I think it's corny, but I don't.
Speaker 2: I think I disagree for the basketball game because everybody's
Speaker 2: in their seat. So let's say you made eye contact
Speaker 2: with somebody three rows back or cross on the other side.
Speaker 2: You're the game is playing, You're in your seat. They're
Speaker 2: not coming up to you. Yeah, I don't. I was.
Speaker 2: I was trying to help them out. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I was trying to just figure out, like, why are
Speaker 2: we doing this?
Speaker 1: Why? Yeah, I'm not here for it, Okay, yes, but
Speaker 1: I'm here for and Jay and Beyonce don't do that.
Speaker 2: They don't have sunglasses on. No. Yeah, so, and they're
Speaker 2: the epitome of cool. Right, we've decided. How do we
Speaker 2: feel about Michelle Obama's podcast? I know I regress, I digress.
Speaker 2: I mean I've only seen clips of it. I love
Speaker 2: that she has one. Yeah, you know, I think I do.
Speaker 2: When I don't, I'm gonna tell you why I don't.
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, okay, I mean I think it's good to
Speaker 1: hear her voice and good to hear her just thoughts
Speaker 1: on things and experiences.
Speaker 2: Totally. I kind of don't think she can speak super
Speaker 2: freely though that part Okay, So I love the fact
Speaker 2: that she has it. Obviously she has a voice. Yeah,
Speaker 2: she wants to exercise that she has not asked reasonably
Speaker 2: shady on the podcast, and that's a problem. Okay, But
Speaker 2: outside of that, I do there is something to be
Speaker 2: said for not being super exposed. So I would like,
Speaker 2: because you know, she's Michelle Obama, like we hold her
Speaker 2: in such high regard that I want her to talk less. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: but you know what I mean, like, but it have
Speaker 2: it be more impactful, not that what she's saying isn't impactful.
Speaker 1: Like she's she's coming down to our lovel yeah.
Speaker 2: Literally, Yeah, I have a podcast, she has podcasts. We're
Speaker 2: the same. I am Michelle Obama. I don't want to
Speaker 2: feel that way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we want her to be like on the pedestal
Speaker 1: totally super like way high.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and probably she showed us our her downloads. She
Speaker 2: is probably way high than us. Not the point, I
Speaker 2: just you know.
Speaker 1: She's Michelle Obama, like she's Yeah, I get that, but
Speaker 1: I think that she's you know, everything that she's saying
Speaker 1: on it and all that is great. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: I think they have like, you know, good conversations, good discussions, yeah,
Speaker 1: but it is definitely like, okay, you're you're becoming a
Speaker 1: little too touchable.
Speaker 2: There we go. Yeah that's the word. Or accessible, yeah, yes,
Speaker 2: not too yeah, and we we want to we want
Speaker 2: to act like we can never find you right or
Speaker 2: here you or anything, because like when Barack comes out,
Speaker 2: it's abrocto something. It's like we stop, like Barack is
Speaker 2: speaking speaking of Barack. Have you heard what they're doing
Speaker 2: to supposedly the White House? No, okay, so the White
Speaker 2: House has been calling China, okay, to beg and plead
Speaker 2: for this whole tear of fiasco to end. And so
Speaker 2: they're putting mister Trump on hold and playing Barack's speeches
Speaker 2: the people in China. Yes, this is not a legibly
Speaker 2: this has been documented. Yes, yes, because somebody had to
Speaker 2: speak on it. Somebody had to give there was some
Speaker 2: sort of like not an investigation, but somebody had to
Speaker 2: go talk and speak on what's going on. And yeah,
Speaker 2: they're playing Barack speeches. No way, that is take.
Speaker 1: I mean the the pettiness China petty game is China is.
Speaker 2: Winning, Like I'm living for the petty game. Yeah, like
Speaker 2: this is actually everything that is so means everything to me,
Speaker 2: that's hilarious.
Speaker 1: So speaking of Barack and Michelle and how we how
Speaker 1: high a pedestal we put them on?
Speaker 2: Did you see it? Was?
Speaker 1: They were at a restaurant in DC Osteria, I think yeah,
Speaker 1: and they must have been in a private room. Yes,
Speaker 1: and then they're exiting the restaurant and they had to
Speaker 1: go through the front the whole restaurant. Yes, they're like
Speaker 1: applauding like as they're walking out. Yes, and it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: imagine imagine Trump leaving the restaurant.
Speaker 2: Yeah, boom, Well it's we would like I would like
Speaker 2: cock my head to the side, like really, yeah, so
Speaker 2: that is I've seen that happen. So I was at
Speaker 2: Joe Seafood. This is years ago when Barack and Michelle
Speaker 2: were in office. Michelle was there and it was like
Speaker 2: you knew somebody was that a secret service was there
Speaker 2: and then she came out and everybody went crazy nuts. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so like, yeah, yes, we were maybe they are forever
Speaker 2: president and first they are, yes we do.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, So I know you probably really don't have
Speaker 1: a thought about this, but this was a debate that
Speaker 1: was like rampant in your household, in my household, really
Speaker 1: and on like TikTok social media amongst.
Speaker 2: I don't want to say just men, but most most males.
Speaker 2: Have you heard this? Who would win in.
Speaker 1: A fight between one hundred men and aga silverback gorilla?
Speaker 2: Who are you taking? So I did see this, and
Speaker 2: I didn't really understand how or how this question got
Speaker 2: proposed right or why right, But.
Speaker 1: It's like the burning question that everyone needs to know.
Speaker 1: This goes back back to the Dixon of it all. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: because I'm sure Wan was like, oh I.
Speaker 2: Got the gorilla. No oh he didn't. No, okay, so
Speaker 2: he was like, hell no, yeah.
Speaker 1: He's like, y'all are crazy if you think you're gonna
Speaker 1: beat a gorilla. Oh okay, So a gorilla can knock
Speaker 1: down a hundred men. So I think the hundred men
Speaker 1: can win. Me and Carter at.
Speaker 2: The same time, simultaneous. Okay, me and Carter think the
Speaker 2: one hundred men can win. I think so too. We think,
Speaker 2: you know, a whole bunch.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to be sacrificed, right, yes, y'all go first, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but you're going to have to take some men to
Speaker 1: distract the gorilla while the other men, you know, approach
Speaker 1: it from behind and kick it and hit it and
Speaker 1: strangle it and choke it and poke its eyes out
Speaker 1: and throw a rock on them. Yeah, all of that,
Speaker 1: and we think that one hundred men can beat the gorilla.
Speaker 1: But one is like, y'all are crazy. One and Corey
Speaker 1: think the gorilla will win.
Speaker 2: You And Carter say, I think so, is there any
Speaker 2: have we looked at? Anybody doesn't ever have?
Speaker 1: I don't know, As I asked chat GPT.
Speaker 2: I would win.
Speaker 1: And I mean, they just give you like scenarios for like,
Speaker 1: they don't even tell you who would win. They just
Speaker 1: tell you, like why the men would win and why
Speaker 1: the gorilla would win. They say, they say the men
Speaker 1: would tire out the gorilla as well. Yes, but you
Speaker 1: know some of them would die first. But but if
Speaker 1: you kind of have a coordinated attack, you would tire
Speaker 1: out the gorilla and eventually beat the gorilla.
Speaker 2: I think I would love to know the strength of
Speaker 2: a gorilla. It is the strength of a gorilla equal
Speaker 2: to fifty men, one hundred men, right, Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm like first, and then I'm like, who
Speaker 2: the hell came up with this most random question? I
Speaker 2: don't know. But at GBT GPT. Yes, who came up
Speaker 2: with this question? Yes, okay, I have a question for you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so your crush you have a crush on Dampson Idris, right, yeah, Mike, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, actually no, but okay, go ahead, No, okay,
Speaker 1: no Dampson. Okay, So say you're in a relationship with
Speaker 1: Dampson or dating Dampson.
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, yes, that's beautiful. I'm loving this.
Speaker 1: Okay, So you have to pick one. Okay, what would
Speaker 1: you rather do? Would you rather use his toothbrush or
Speaker 1: use his washcloth?
Speaker 2: Has he washed his balls? Yep? Okay the washcloth? You
Speaker 2: use his washcloth? Yeah, okay, because I can like soap
Speaker 2: it up and like in my mind it's clean. Right.
Speaker 2: The toothbrush situation is a no. But if you're like
Speaker 2: swaping spit, what's the problem. Because there's bacteria in the
Speaker 2: in the teeth and so let's say we've obviously kissed,
Speaker 2: I still haven't stuck my tongue in between your teeth.
Speaker 2: That's difference. Okay, yeah, okay, all right. So my kids,
Speaker 2: the twins kind of share too brushes sometimes when we're
Speaker 2: on vacation. They it's not that they do it on purpose, right,
Speaker 2: but like one will just pick up the other one
Speaker 2: and then they're like, oh, okay, who cares. I'm like, no,
Speaker 2: that's disgusting. Yeah, do not do that. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: So I just the other day I swear my brain
Speaker 1: like honk out on me. So, so I have an
Speaker 1: electric toothbrush, but sometimes I'll just use like a regular toothbrush.
Speaker 1: So Wan and I have a regular toothbrushes in a
Speaker 1: in a little cup holder tooth brush holder, and one
Speaker 1: of them is green and one of them is orange.
Speaker 1: And I literally blacked out and I was like, I
Speaker 1: don't know which one.
Speaker 2: Is mine, which which one is yours. I think it's
Speaker 2: the green one. You just so then I went to want.
Speaker 1: I was like, one, I'm my brain just conked out
Speaker 1: of me, Like, which toothbrushes is yours?
Speaker 2: What do you say? He's like he had to think
Speaker 2: for a minute, and he was like, I think it's
Speaker 2: the orange. Probably should have so, he thought, but I
Speaker 2: don't know why.
Speaker 1: I was like, for some reason, I'm literally blanking on
Speaker 1: which toothbrush is mine? So okay, go ahead, and so
Speaker 1: I just he said he thinks his was the orange.
Speaker 2: Did you throw them away? No? I just went with
Speaker 2: the This is why I won't share bathrooms with men
Speaker 2: with dampson and amps. I'm not sharing a bathroom. Okay.
Speaker 2: So have you seen the new toothbrushes where you put
Speaker 2: the whole thing in your mouth. No, it's like a
Speaker 2: it's like a rubbers like a retainer, but it's connected
Speaker 2: to like a charger, so you turn it on. It
Speaker 2: has like a blue light and everything. It's called sonic something.
Speaker 2: You put like toothpaste around it and then you put
Speaker 2: it in your mouth and it's just like it brushes. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's the whole thing. The whole thing is like a
Speaker 2: brush and like a retainer type of apparatus and it
Speaker 2: and then you can set it like high setting, low setting, whatever.
Speaker 2: I freaking love it. You have it, I do. I
Speaker 2: have two of them, really. Yeah. I just bought it randomly.
Speaker 2: I saw it on like the View or something. I
Speaker 2: don't know. Anyway, I was like, I bought it, and
Speaker 2: I was like, this is gonna be dumb. I love it.
Speaker 2: I mean I also use a regular like so I
Speaker 2: do that at night and in the morning I use
Speaker 2: a regular electric toothbrush. Do you get behind your teeth?
Speaker 2: It's the whole thing. Surrounds up top and bottom, and
Speaker 2: then they say kind of move it a little bit
Speaker 2: to make sure you get the back, which I do.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's great interesting. Yeah, I'll have to check
Speaker 1: that out. Yeah, Sonic, I think is is the brand.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll check it out because I need I need
Speaker 2: another device in my house. Yeah, I'll check that out.
Speaker 2: Do you use your juicer I have? I haven't used
Speaker 2: it in a while, that five thousand dollars juicer that
Speaker 2: you have, six hundred and ninety nine. By the way,
Speaker 2: I do want the coffee maker that's supposed to be
Speaker 2: like high tech or whatever. Not that I drink coffee, right,
Speaker 2: you don't drink coffee. But I wanted to make like
Speaker 2: hot chocolate. Oh, like the one that like you. I
Speaker 2: don't know. I don't what is it called. Maybe it's
Speaker 2: the currac oh yeah, yeah, carecaker whatever. I don't know. Anyway,
Speaker 2: its supposed to be very expensive. Really, I just wanted
Speaker 2: for hot chocolate. Is that a waste? Probably? Okay? Yeah,
Speaker 2: probably I don't have it, Okay, I don't can't afford it.
Speaker 2: I don't know. So the juicer.
Speaker 1: I took a pause on it because and I need
Speaker 1: to get back because Corey, although he's not Catholic, he
Speaker 1: gave up like drinks for lint, like you could only
Speaker 1: drink water during Lent, and so I.
Speaker 2: Didn't want to torture him.
Speaker 1: By like juicing and making nice juices and like, so
Speaker 1: then I just Easter is over. I know it's been over,
Speaker 1: and then so I haven't haven't. It was like so
Speaker 1: like lit, it was lit was like forever.
Speaker 2: It was just forty days.
Speaker 1: Well it was long the same every year, forty days
Speaker 1: and forty nights. Okay, okay, Well he goes to a.
Speaker 2: Catholic school now yeah, okay, yeah, all.
Speaker 1: Right, so one of his like friends there like had
Speaker 1: him give something up for limp.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my girls gave up juice or whatever. But then
Speaker 2: we went that was when we went to Cape Town.
Speaker 2: They were like, yeah, that's over, it's over. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: He was like he was disciplined. And I actually saw
Speaker 1: his face clear up, like you know, I has a
Speaker 1: little bit of like pimples and stuff, and so I
Speaker 1: saw his face cleared up. Yeah, but he was like
Speaker 1: it was it was a struggle. It was a struggle, Okay.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I didn't want to make it worse for him.
Speaker 1: So I just took a break from juicing and I
Speaker 1: just haven't.
Speaker 2: Picked it back up.
Speaker 1: But I will now that you reminded me. Okay, now
Speaker 1: that you reminded me, Okay, another question and then we
Speaker 1: can get into some letters. Yeah, at your current age, yes,
Speaker 1: would you rather date a man who has never been
Speaker 1: married or a divorced man?
Speaker 2: I said this all the time. I would not be
Speaker 2: in a serious relationship with a man that has not
Speaker 2: been married, Okay, and that doesn't have children. First of all,
Speaker 2: I don't want to be your first wife. No, because
Speaker 2: y'all that's too much work. Yeah, Robin, yes, you're gonna
Speaker 2: test to that. I can attest to that second wife
Speaker 2: got it easy because they've broken in, right. And men,
Speaker 2: I think in the long run, they want to be married.
Speaker 2: They want to be taken care of, they want to
Speaker 2: have stability, they want to have a foundation. Okay. Number two,
Speaker 2: if you don't have kids, you don't understand family. To me,
Speaker 2: a man because is designed to have a family, right,
Speaker 2: So yeah, you gotta have you gotta be married once
Speaker 2: maybe twice and have a rack of kids. Yeah. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: So Kanye and me, oh yeah, excellent. Oh yeah, a
Speaker 2: match made of Heaven a match made. It hasn't because
Speaker 2: I had I met a guy recently actually that has
Speaker 2: never been married, never been married, doesn't have any kids.
Speaker 2: He's forty four.
Speaker 1: Okay, so what do we automatically think? Yeah, like okay, oh.
Speaker 2: So I said I say this to Cal all the time.
Speaker 2: I'm like, caw that that's that's as gay to me really,
Speaker 2: And Cal's like, Giselle, you sound stupid. Yeah, that doesn't
Speaker 2: say gay to me in this day and age. I
Speaker 2: just think times have changed.
Speaker 1: So much that like he's forty four, he still thinks
Speaker 1: he's twenty four. Oh you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 1: he's still just I never thought about that. Yeah, okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's still like thinking he's like a bachelor, supposed to
Speaker 1: be kicking it, hanging out, like he's just the thought
Speaker 1: the thought of like having a family has been nowhere
Speaker 1: near his mind for a very long time.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I never thought about that. Yeah Okay. And and
Speaker 2: then you know, Cayle's like, well, Giselle, maybe he's responsible.
Speaker 2: Maybe he hasn't. He decided a very long time ago
Speaker 2: that he doesn't want to have kids, like out of marriage,
Speaker 2: and he just hasn't found the one or whatever. I
Speaker 2: don't know, but like.
Speaker 1: So, what's what's the guy's explanation? Has he given you one?
Speaker 2: I didn't ask him if he was gay, but that
Speaker 2: is a question that I do ask. You're just leuck
Speaker 2: with the man? Oh that's how you asked you? That's yeah,
Speaker 2: here ever been with me? I learned that from Love
Speaker 2: Hotel because Ashley's really good at it, like she she'll
Speaker 2: come out with that question like number three and I'm
Speaker 2: like and I was kind of like, oh, okay, that's
Speaker 2: that's cool, right, So yeah, I would be like, yeah,
Speaker 2: So I asked Phil that actually on Love Hotel. By
Speaker 2: the way, Love Hotel is still on Sundays. Yes, so
Speaker 2: get into how many episodes we have? Eight? Okay? Yeah?
Speaker 2: And I feel like we need a reunion, a three
Speaker 2: part you want one? I want a three three parter
Speaker 2: and he get into it. So yeah, I asked Phil,
Speaker 2: have you ever been with a man? Okay? And he
Speaker 2: said no? Okay? Was he offended? Mm hmm okay because
Speaker 2: he's from La. So I think that that's kind of
Speaker 2: like understandable to ask. Yeah. I mean it didn't even matter,
Speaker 2: like I don't care what that's a that's.
Speaker 1: A good way to ask, Like if you think someone's gay, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a good way to ask them without thinking you're
Speaker 1: going to offend them, and like if they're not, get
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, have you ever been with
Speaker 1: the man?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think that's a better way to phrase it
Speaker 2: than to say are you gay? Yeah? True? And then
Speaker 2: I've asked like have you ever had sex? And a
Speaker 2: man was in the room and I don't remember what
Speaker 2: the answer was. And then it's kind of like I
Speaker 2: do want to know like your sexual preferences, so like
Speaker 2: do you like threesomes? Do you like all that? So, yeah,
Speaker 2: we had all those conversations. So one guy was like,
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I don't kiss himTo oh no,
Speaker 2: but you're here to talk about her, right that you're
Speaker 2: actually here to talk about this. You're not getting paid,
Speaker 2: but this is your job, right, Yeah, tell me what
Speaker 2: you do in the bedroom, sir. And my thing is
Speaker 2: I don't kiss and tell is the answer that means
Speaker 2: yes and you don't want to talk about it? No?
Speaker 2: He might.
Speaker 1: It could mean no, but he might want to make
Speaker 1: it look like he's like this like freaktu.
Speaker 2: Yeah you know he wasn't. And I'll tell you who
Speaker 2: it was later?
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, anyway, Charles, this is from Charles Ellerb and
Speaker 1: this says the subject is Giselle Love Hotel.
Speaker 2: Okay, speaking of Love Hotel, he says, hey, y'all still
Speaker 2: loving the podcast? Well? Is that room still loving the podcast?
Speaker 1: I love it like no, because there could be some
Speaker 1: people that aren't that started listening and they decided they
Speaker 1: don't like us anymore, or they just they just you know,
Speaker 1: fell off, fell off. Okay, all right, well, thank you,
Speaker 1: char you're still loving. I had questions, which is now
Speaker 1: be honest?
Speaker 2: How was the twenty five thousand dollars taco which if
Speaker 2: you watched Left Hotel, I think was episode one my
Speaker 2: first date with Jay. They brought out a twenty five
Speaker 2: thousand dollars tacos, so it was shrimp, lobster, caviar, gold leaf,
Speaker 2: and something else that's all in one taco. Okay. I
Speaker 2: think the gold leaf was took us over the edge
Speaker 2: of twenty five thousand. It was great. I loved every
Speaker 2: year morsel. I think I took three bites, so how
Speaker 2: much is that a bite? Three bites and it was gone?
Speaker 1: So so Jay had a rock in his I think
Speaker 1: oysters were in it too, something okay, something that has
Speaker 1: rocks associated, maybe the oyster. Yeah, so a rock was
Speaker 1: in his and he he almost like took us tooth out.
Speaker 2: Oh my god. Obviously they didn't show that part, but yeah,
Speaker 2: Jay is still mad. He's hot. Okay, So did it
Speaker 2: really cost twenty five thousand dollars? That's what they said,
Speaker 2: and not paysos because we were in Mexico. Yeah, Mexico
Speaker 2: paysos I think. Yeah. Yeah, No, I was like dollars.
Speaker 2: They were like dollars. Yeah, so that's that, he said.
Speaker 2: Charles says, because there's no way it tasted worth even
Speaker 2: half that. How would you know, Charles, you weren't there again,
Speaker 2: Love your show. When are you going to have your
Speaker 2: kids on on the Love Hotel on the podcast? Oh okay,
Speaker 2: I don't know. By the gone, we could have the
Speaker 2: boys on. I've been a fan since the beginning, and
Speaker 2: remember y'all mentioning it has it have been? It has been.
Speaker 2: I don't know what this means. We'd love to hear
Speaker 2: their take on some of the stuff that's happened in
Speaker 2: their lives with their moms being who they are, and
Speaker 2: maybe asking some of y'all. Some asking y'all some questions
Speaker 2: that would be good though. Yeah, I've asked. I've asked
Speaker 2: mine if they would come on, and they tell me
Speaker 2: emphatically tell me no, Really, I don't know because they're
Speaker 2: such like my kids are hams like they are. They
Speaker 2: say that they're so funny, they are so unseious, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, why won't y'all just come on the podcast? Yes,
Speaker 2: I don't know why I say something funny? Yeah, Okay,
Speaker 2: next time they're here, we're gonna body slam them and
Speaker 2: throw them on the couch and make them tall. They're
Speaker 2: gonna body slam you back. True. True, because that Corey
Speaker 2: is you, Yes, like he just sprouted up? Is he
Speaker 2: tall than one? He's like neck and neck wow? Yes?
Speaker 2: And Wine is six four six two six two six two. Okay,
Speaker 2: all right. This is from Jay Black. Jay Black says,
Speaker 2: I've been with my man for a year now and
Speaker 2: we rotate weekends at each other's apartments. His apartment is
Speaker 2: less than ideal in terms of comfort and entertainment. After
Speaker 2: a year together, I recommended that he makes some upgrades.
Speaker 2: He doesn't want to, as he's currently building a new house.
Speaker 2: Money is not a concern. He just wants to select
Speaker 2: furniture or future home, not the apartment. He wants to
Speaker 2: select furniture for the future home. Is it reasonable or
Speaker 2: shady to request that he spent all weekends we're together
Speaker 2: at my place until his new home is completed in
Speaker 2: about a year. I'm tired of feeling like I'm the
Speaker 2: one of Giselle's daughter's dorm rooms. Where whenever I miss
Speaker 2: one oh am in one of Jazelle's dorm room daughter's
Speaker 2: dorm rooms. Whenever I visit him and he tries to
Speaker 2: break up with me. Oh and if he tries to
Speaker 2: break up with me, I can't read. And if he
Speaker 2: tries to bring up with me, I may be writing
Speaker 2: again to ask y'all to match me with someone I know.
Speaker 2: That's right. Okay, first of all, let's back up. So
Speaker 2: I recently did the surprise of Angel and the door, right,
Speaker 2: So in order for us to do this, we had
Speaker 2: to hide in the dorms bathroom. What oh God? In
Speaker 2: order for Angel to come into her room and she
Speaker 2: didn't see us, so we had to hide in the

Speaker 1: So I want to follow up on the ozembic of it,
Speaker 1: all the.
Speaker 2: G LP ones.
Speaker 1: You know, I talked about how I have some extra
Speaker 1: pounds that I want to lose and they just you know,
Speaker 1: I work out and the scale goes up and I'm
Speaker 1: frustrated and I'm considering a GLP one. So I do
Speaker 1: want to say thank you to everybody that wrote to me,
Speaker 1: emailed you, d MD. I even have a friend that
Speaker 1: I love, a dear friend that I love that listens
Speaker 1: to the podcast that called me and pretty.
Speaker 2: Much confessed that she's been I saw, I saw a
Speaker 2: commercial and there's a pill like the Marangua. Is that
Speaker 2: a pill? Oh? I don't know there's a pill? Okay,
Speaker 2: you check, Okay, yeah, all right, so what the people say?
Speaker 1: Okay, So so I do want to say in general,
Speaker 1: I heard pretty much a general sentiment, which was it
Speaker 1: worked for them. They experienced some nausea, maybe some fatigue,
Speaker 1: but then you kind of like get through it. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna write, I'm gonna read. Let's see a couple
Speaker 1: of letters. So this is from Tracy. Hey, Tracy Tracy.
Speaker 2: Says, I love Manaro, but that's what I'm That's what
Speaker 2: I'm meant to say. Yes, I think that has all
Speaker 2: I think. Okay, I'm not sure. She said.
Speaker 1: I love Manjarro, but I'm afraid to stop taking it.
Speaker 1: She said, Hi, Robin, I was in the same boat
Speaker 1: whereas I was working out and the weight was not
Speaker 1: coming off due to menopause, and I've always been able
Speaker 1: to lose weight easily. So I decided to research all
Speaker 1: of the weight loss drugs and decided on Manjiro because
Speaker 1: that one seemed to give the least amount of side effects.
Speaker 1: I absolutely love it and have lost over thirty pounds now.
Speaker 1: I did have some constipation in the beginning, but I
Speaker 1: would just drink my smooth moved tea and that worked
Speaker 1: just fine. I have since switched from once a week
Speaker 1: shots to once a month, but I'm afraid to cut
Speaker 1: it off all together. So that would be the only warning.
Speaker 1: You will be hooked. Good luck with whatever you choose,
Speaker 1: and she said, ps. I also love Glow thirty and
Speaker 1: my month facials with my bestie Angie aka MI just
Speaker 1: out and it was great media on my first visit.
Speaker 2: You are even more beautiful in person. Oh nice? Do
Speaker 2: you remember her? Okay? Yeah, so Tracy, I appreciate you, okay,
Speaker 2: And I appreciate her being honest. Like some people don't
Speaker 2: want to talk about it, which is weird because it's
Speaker 2: like not everybody's on it, but I mean there's enough
Speaker 2: people on it's not like taboo. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think, well, I think now today is becoming less
Speaker 1: and less taboo because I think at first, you know,
Speaker 1: people were on it, and they weren't. They felt they
Speaker 1: didn't want to be judged, And now you're just hearing
Speaker 1: more and more people. Did you hear about this influencer.
Speaker 1: It's a girl who's like a big influencer on TikTok
Speaker 1: and she was selling these like, you know, getting people
Speaker 1: to sign up for like her coaching program for weight loss.
Speaker 1: So she would teach, you know, I don't know, teach
Speaker 1: them meal plans and workouts and stuff. And then found
Speaker 1: people found out she was on a GLP one the line, right,
Speaker 1: Like that's great, that is crazy to me. So that's
Speaker 1: so she's facing a lot of backlash because I think
Speaker 1: whatever she was selling two hundred dollars or something.
Speaker 2: People would pay and get a damn Yeah. Yeah, the
Speaker 2: lives people tell. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So here is a message from Lynn. She said, Hi Robbinland.
Speaker 2: Yes, Heiland.
Speaker 1: I've been on medications like ozempic for years, even before
Speaker 1: it was used for weight loss, and I lost a
Speaker 1: lot of weight. However, I experienced extensive sickness and could
Speaker 1: not eat. Eventually my doctor took me off because it
Speaker 1: was impacting my pancreas. I've known other people who have
Speaker 1: used so ozmpic and have very few side effects.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's it's in my talk about hair loss
Speaker 2: and all that. No one talked about hair loss.
Speaker 1: I did have people talk about like the muscle loss,
Speaker 1: and they said, you definitely if you get on these,
Speaker 1: you definitely have to eat, focus on eating protein, and
Speaker 1: focus on working out like strength training lifting weights, because
Speaker 1: you will lose weight.
Speaker 2: I mean you will.
Speaker 1: Lose When you lose weight, you're losing muscle, you know,
Speaker 1: So you gotta just focus on that. Some people say
Speaker 1: they have headaches yea, that their or their cycle gets
Speaker 1: you know, funny.
Speaker 2: Or they might have diarrhea.
Speaker 1: I did have few people recommend try zeppetite. So there's
Speaker 1: different ones too. So there's like ozempic Manjaro, so I
Speaker 1: think manjaro is the same thing as ozempic or something triesepetide,
Speaker 1: all these different ones anyway.
Speaker 2: So what's what's the verdict. What you're gonna do?
Speaker 1: Okay, here's another one. Okay, and see when I get these,
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay. So this is from Katrita, she said,
Speaker 1: don't take ozempic. Thank you Katria, she said, high, ladies
Speaker 1: love the show. My cousin who was on ozempic for
Speaker 1: diabet diabetes lost his vision in one eye. Damn it
Speaker 1: was because of the ozimpic, so beau, because it's listed
Speaker 1: in their side effects.
Speaker 2: So there's nothing he can do. Damn, don't do it.
Speaker 1: Don't do it. I'm fighting the same perimenopause weight gain.
Speaker 1: It's so frustrated.
Speaker 2: Are you are you? Like, are you menopause A Perry?
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, of course, I think I'm at that age
Speaker 1: where I could be, But when I read the symptoms
Speaker 1: for perimenopause, I'm like, I don't. I don't think that
Speaker 1: that's me, okay, because I don't really have all the
Speaker 1: other things, So I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm just fat. You're okay, first of all, you're not.
Speaker 2: Second of all I think. I mean, it doesn't hurt
Speaker 2: you try Yeah, yeah, but look at the pill version.
Speaker 2: I would think a pill is easier than taking a shot. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't. I wouldn't want to take a shot.
Speaker 1: I'm definitely going to like I want to consult with
Speaker 1: a doctor, like I don't want to do it on
Speaker 1: just some like random because it seems like everyone is
Speaker 1: administering these drugs now, So I think I would want
Speaker 1: to consult with a doctor, or at least I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think you should. Yeah, but but talk about everything
Speaker 2: like perimenopause all that.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, exactly, exactly. Yeah, So the verdict is still out.
Speaker 1: Verdict is still out. Thank you for all of the
Speaker 1: feedback though, I appreciate. But people definitely say do it. Okay,
Speaker 1: most people say do it. I literally had two people
Speaker 1: say said, don't do it. The people that are blind. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I'm like, that's blind and homeless. But I just
Speaker 1: I saw something recently. Kyle Richard's daughter did it and
Speaker 1: she experienced hair loss.
Speaker 2: Yeah I saw I saw that. Yeah, and I told
Speaker 2: you I have a girlfriend too, that we're on it
Speaker 2: and major hair loss. Yeah. See that's not I can't
Speaker 2: risk that. Yeah. Well, I mean, well, you can wear
