Speaker 1: This is Robin Dixon. Thank you once again for joining us.
Speaker 1: We love you so much. Yes, yes, and big shot
Speaker 1: out to us. Because we are black and this is
Speaker 1: still black is we always have a few short days left.
Speaker 1: How are we gonna spend him? I don't know. I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna, um, I don't know, just walk around being black,
Speaker 1: keep being black, because you know, like this month, we're black, Andy, black, black,
Speaker 1: not just black. Yes, and then March one it's we're
Speaker 1: just black. Yeah. Okay, all right, So I have a
Speaker 1: reasonably shady speaking of Black History Month, I have a
Speaker 1: reasonably shady moment, okay of the week moment. It was
Speaker 1: a moment. So I was in the grocery store. I
Speaker 1: go to same grocery store. They know me when I
Speaker 1: walk into up into the line to um, you know,
Speaker 1: buy my things that like, Hi, Mrs Briant. All that.
Speaker 1: So Ted and I have to say that Ted is
Speaker 1: a white man. Was helping somebody in front of me,
Speaker 1: and I saw him look at this quarter and he
Speaker 1: was staring at it, and then I saw him put
Speaker 1: it to the side, and when I got up, I
Speaker 1: was like, is that maya Angelou? And so I posted
Speaker 1: on my Instagram the picture of the quarter to my
Speaker 1: Angelou quarter because my Angelou, thank you, has a court urn.
Speaker 1: Yes she does. It's very important. Okay, why did I
Speaker 1: not know that? What do you mean you didn't know that?
Speaker 1: I feel like I heard that they were like talking
Speaker 1: about it, but I didn't know it actually happened. No,
Speaker 1: it actually happened. So she has so on the one
Speaker 1: side it's the same I don't know every hand Lincoln
Speaker 1: or somebody's maybe Thomas Jefferson, somebody's on the end. And
Speaker 1: on the other side it's my Angelou and it's like
Speaker 1: a lady in her arms are are out and she's
Speaker 1: looking beautiful. Okay, So so you took the quarter from Ted. No,
Speaker 1: so this is the shady park. So I said, Ted,
Speaker 1: is that my Angelou? Is that my Angelo quarter? He's like, yo,
Speaker 1: this this is the first time I've seen it. So
Speaker 1: I was like, let me switch out. I'll give you
Speaker 1: a quarter for that quarter. He was like no, And
Speaker 1: I said, Ted, my man my white man, this ain't
Speaker 1: for you. I'm a black girl. This is black girl
Speaker 1: magic right here. This is my angeloud. This is Black
Speaker 1: History Month. So I said, uh, I'll give you a
Speaker 1: dollar for the quarter. And he said, um no, I mean,
Speaker 1: this is the first time I've seen this, and I
Speaker 1: don't know what I'm gonna come across this again, just
Speaker 1: and and I think I'm gonna I think I think
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep it. I said, you think you're gonna
Speaker 1: keep it? So I said, Ted, my man, you better
Speaker 1: hope I come across another one real, So I hope
Speaker 1: you do. So what did you so? No? But he said, oh,
Speaker 1: would you like to take a picture, So he let
Speaker 1: me take a picture of it, which I did post
Speaker 1: on Instagram. But the shady moment is, Ted, you kept
Speaker 1: my angelue quarter when you know I should have that
Speaker 1: because you're black, because I'm black and black black. Okay,
Speaker 1: he might not he might not be sure if you're black.
Speaker 1: Here you listen, Ted knows I am black. Why does
Speaker 1: this white woman wanted my Anteloue quarter? So you are
Speaker 1: the shady man of the week, sir. That is funny. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's really cool. You know, it's very cool, and I
Speaker 1: think that. Actually I knew that it was happening because
Speaker 1: Oprah did a big thing about it on her Instagram.
Speaker 1: She was jumping around and acting crazy, so you know,
Speaker 1: I was. I was on the lookout, and when I
Speaker 1: saw Ted look at that quarter, I was like, so,
Speaker 1: I feel like, now we just need to go to
Speaker 1: the bank and ask for one, because like when, first
Speaker 1: of all, when do you ever pull cash out of
Speaker 1: your wallet in order to get changed back? Like when
Speaker 1: when you when does that happened? I know, yes, I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna go and buy a roll of it, Ted, yes,
Speaker 1: and give them out his gifts. Yes, I like that. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it. Okay. So I didn't have a
Speaker 1: reasonably shady moment until five minutes ago. What happened when
Speaker 1: our d o O, yes, that'd be Carly. Carly spilled
Speaker 1: her coffee on my white carpet. What I mean, it's
Speaker 1: like cream? What is egg crew? Right? Eggs? Yes, it's tail, Yes,
Speaker 1: it's white. Yes, that goes to car So then Carly says, um, robbing, um,
Speaker 1: do you do you have carpet cleaner? Why we need
Speaker 1: carpet cleaner? Carley. I had a little spill. Oh what's
Speaker 1: your coffee? That's what happened at way discreet. So I said,
Speaker 1: let's just stop paying her, not that we pay, let's
Speaker 1: take it out of her bay check. Oh gosh, all right, guys,
Speaker 1: So let we got we got so much to talk about.
Speaker 1: Robin all right, first and foremost, let's get into she
Speaker 1: talked about halftime now gonna we're gonna save that. I mean,
Speaker 1: we might as well talk about it now. I mean, okay,
Speaker 1: I know we're a little late because the super Bowl
Speaker 1: has already yes, but we're coming gone. But but we
Speaker 1: have to discuss something we do. Yes, okay. So clearly
Speaker 1: this was a hip hop shout out to l a
Speaker 1: California halftime show, right, yes, yes, everybody. There was like
Speaker 1: five thousand people kript walking. I was like, this is
Speaker 1: amazing shout out to Snoop. It was so nostalgic, Like
Speaker 1: I really I literally felt like I was in college
Speaker 1: or high school because Snoop was high school. And I
Speaker 1: literally was like I was having flashbacks to like parties
Speaker 1: where I was doing stuff that I shouldn't have been
Speaker 1: doing right right, and I was feeling like, okay, but
Speaker 1: a couple of things did happen that I felt were Okay,
Speaker 1: let's before I even give my negatives. Okay, let's talk
Speaker 1: about do you feel like this was top three all
Speaker 1: time halftime shows? Because let's be clear, the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: has just come down for me personally to the halftime show,
Speaker 1: like I could give I get two ships. Who wins
Speaker 1: this game? I'm just looking. I'm just here for the halftime,
Speaker 1: for the halftime show, and I actually like I want
Speaker 1: a good game. So okay, so the halftime show is
Speaker 1: not like my end all be all. So for me, Um,
Speaker 1: I couldn't put it. I heard it a lot of
Speaker 1: people like, oh, it's the best one. It's yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know that I could even put it in top three.
Speaker 1: Like for me, honestly, it's like it's Prince Beyonce, right,
Speaker 1: Um okay, But I want to ask about Prince because
Speaker 1: I've had this debate with several people. Okay, Prince's halftime show.
Speaker 1: When he was performing it, it started raining, right, and
Speaker 1: that added to the fact that it was just like
Speaker 1: hands down, right, But if it didn't rain, would it
Speaker 1: just be okay? It would have just been good. Didn't
Speaker 1: he make it rain? He did not? It rained? It
Speaker 1: was the heavens purple and everything robbing. It rained, it
Speaker 1: rained from God. Okay, I don't care about the rain.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm I'm the biggest Prince fan, like like
Speaker 1: that's my Like. I didn't like Michael Jackson. No, he
Speaker 1: was horrible, horrible. To take it back, Jackson people, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: That wasn't horrible. He just was not top five. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about this halftime show. I'm just saying
Speaker 1: as an artist, like I was going up as a child,
Speaker 1: my you know, music icon hero was not Michael Jackson.
Speaker 1: It was Prince, right me seeing Prince on that stage
Speaker 1: like the end all be all Okay, Okay, I like
Speaker 1: Rain or not, it's the best. Prince killed the thing,
Speaker 1: and I'm sorry he made it rain purple rain. He
Speaker 1: had a conversation with Jesus and he made a brain purple. Okay,
Speaker 1: so let's let's get back to Beyonce. Of course, Beyonce
Speaker 1: is like clearly number two, maybe even one and a half.
Speaker 1: She was amazing. I feel like then we go to
Speaker 1: Whitney and the Star Spangled Banner. I know that that
Speaker 1: was not a halftime time show. I know it wasn't
Speaker 1: a half time show. But I have to go there. No, no,
Speaker 1: you can't. I can't. I can. That's apples and orange. Okay,
Speaker 1: but Robin, it gave to this day. If you watch that,
Speaker 1: it will give you chill. No, no, no, it was
Speaker 1: the best star spangled banner national anthem pre Super Bowl
Speaker 1: game performance. Yes, and it wasn't even performance. She sat up.
Speaker 1: She stood there with a tracksuit on one and a
Speaker 1: bad wig and a bad wig. I'm saying, when we
Speaker 1: love you, Whitney, but you sang the hell out of
Speaker 1: that song, and no one has even come close. No oh,
Speaker 1: and they never will, which is really sad. I know,
Speaker 1: and I mean because it's really sad. All hell to Whitney. Okay,
Speaker 1: that does not count. Okay, fine, al right, so can
Speaker 1: we get to can we get to Eminem and Mary J. Blige? Okay,
Speaker 1: so Mary we love She's amazing. I've seen Mary perform
Speaker 1: I don't know a thousand times. I think her wig
Speaker 1: was it was too long and it encumbered her movement
Speaker 1: of her dancing. That was typical Mary dancing. What are
Speaker 1: you talking? It was too long and it got in
Speaker 1: the way and she really couldn't do her thing, her thing.
Speaker 1: That was her thing. Okay, that's how she but she
Speaker 1: didn't do her Mary dance. I think her boots were
Speaker 1: too heavy Mary. No, she didn't. She kind of did it.
Speaker 1: She didn't really do the whole go Mary Go Mary,
Speaker 1: like with the head and she didn't do that. So
Speaker 1: you think it was too long or too heavy. I
Speaker 1: think her boots were too heavy. I think her hair
Speaker 1: was too long and that stopped her from doing her
Speaker 1: real Mary. She is also getting older. Well, I think
Speaker 1: that's why she fell out on the ground. I think
Speaker 1: because the boots was too heavy. I don't know it's something,
Speaker 1: but we love Mary. This is no shade to marry,
Speaker 1: no shade to marry now. I don't know. She just
Speaker 1: fell out, Like listen, the boots was heavy. She said,
Speaker 1: I can't do this no more. Where's my hat? That's
Speaker 1: what she said, where my damn hat. So let's get
Speaker 1: to Eminem. Okay, what do you guys say about Eminem?
Speaker 1: I loved Eminem. Oh, I love Eminem. Oh this is
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I love like. He is the original
Speaker 1: slim shady. I think he actually we should have him
Speaker 1: as a guest on this show because he is shady.
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, yes, yes, if we can get Carlie get Eminem, okay,
Speaker 1: because we need for him to be on the show
Speaker 1: coming right up. I will be honest and whatever you
Speaker 1: say about he was actually my favorite part mind too, alright,
Speaker 1: and he like so when he went down to Neil,
Speaker 1: and we all know what that was, but he did
Speaker 1: stay down there a long time, and I felt like,
Speaker 1: are you just taking a respiration? Are you tying because
Speaker 1: you haven't performed in a while. But I mean, we
Speaker 1: did appreciate the kneeling because we found out later that
Speaker 1: he was told he could not kneel, and and that
Speaker 1: was crazy to me. It was like, why would the
Speaker 1: why would the NFL? How how did that conversation even happen?
Speaker 1: What you mean? Because they did rehearsals. Oh, they did rehearsals,
Speaker 1: and he knelt in rehearsal and then somebody said no, no, no,
Speaker 1: you can't do that. From what I understand, it was
Speaker 1: two things. His pants were saggy, and they thought it
Speaker 1: was gonna be a wardrobe malfunction, so that there was
Speaker 1: issues with that and and the whole Neil thing. And
Speaker 1: he said, I'm some shady I'm Eminem, I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: what I want to do. Okay, the way this is
Speaker 1: the side of y'all. My dad called me the day
Speaker 1: after the Super Bowl and he was like, oh, Zell,
Speaker 1: tell me about that halftime show. If he says the
Speaker 1: same thing my father said, pass out. So he says, uh.
Speaker 1: So they added Eminem to uh make sure that the
Speaker 1: white people didn't have a uh with the with it
Speaker 1: all being like a black um artist. And I was like, Daddy,
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? So he was like, well,
Speaker 1: why why would they add Eminem? I said, oh my god,
Speaker 1: and don't ever say that again. I was like, first
Speaker 1: of all, Eminem probably made more money than for Dr
Speaker 1: Dre than any other artists. Let's just start there. I
Speaker 1: was like, Daddy Dre signed Eminem. He was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I didn't know anything about this. Obviously Daddy didn't get
Speaker 1: off my phone. Okay, so Dad, we're gonna chalk that
Speaker 1: up to my father's eighty something. What did your dad say?
Speaker 1: So my father he only liked jazz music, like, he's
Speaker 1: a hardcore jazz music lover musician. So I knew that
Speaker 1: he was going to hate the halftime show. Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: So the next day we're at the Coping basketball game
Speaker 1: and he was like, that halftime show was just horrible.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it was just horrible, horrible. I'm like, Dad,
Speaker 1: I'm like, you needs He's like, I don't know if
Speaker 1: it's my age. I'm like, it's your age, Yes, it's
Speaker 1: your age. Get over it. Like he was so perplexed
Speaker 1: really about he was like, he said, I was watching
Speaker 1: ESPN and stephen A was like, said, coming up, we're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about the halftime show. And I said, oh,
Speaker 1: he's going to get into them because that was horrible.
Speaker 1: And I'm like and he said, and he came on
Speaker 1: and he was talking about how it was the best
Speaker 1: one ever. I couldn't believe it. I said, oh my god, Dad,
Speaker 1: let it go, Like, let it go. Listen. I understand.
Speaker 1: He I mean, how did your dad again eight if
Speaker 1: you passed seventy five, you had a problem with the show, right,
Speaker 1: But like, I mean, Dad, just let it go. You
Speaker 1: need to realize. And I'm like, Dad, this this music
Speaker 1: was like popular when I was in high school. You're
Speaker 1: really you're really delayed here, like stop, well it stopped.
Speaker 1: It's better than my dad asking me, well what's up
Speaker 1: with this doctor dre fella? But at least your father
Speaker 1: was like inquisitive and when it answers this doctor Dre fella,
Speaker 1: you don't know who he is? Dad is really what
Speaker 1: kind of doctor is? I mean, doctor Dre? Like what anyway?
Speaker 1: Moving on? Um? I think please only the halftime? Are
Speaker 1: we off the halftime? No, we cannot not talk about
Speaker 1: a hundred and fifty six fifty? Okay, you know it's
Speaker 1: it's taboo to talk about fifty and these che because
Speaker 1: fifty will come after your ass. Okay, but we're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about fifty because he was the weakest link. I
Speaker 1: was so confused because first all it was like we
Speaker 1: didn't you weren't expecting him right, And then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, you just see this big old pork chop
Speaker 1: hanging upside down, and I'm like, not the hard job,
Speaker 1: not not fifty cent slash pork chop. Um. I didn't
Speaker 1: understand why he was upside down, Like, well, that was

Speaker 1: if you still got it. Yes, and he was very
Speaker 1: he needed a jacket, Carl showing us yes, sounding nice,
Speaker 1: the nice muscles. Yeah, he was nice and slim. But

Speaker 1: I'm just saying three. I'm just three. I saw somewhere
Speaker 1: on the Instagram, UM that Angela Bassett was turning like
Speaker 1: sixty or something, right, did you see that? She said,
Speaker 1: turning sixty Carl, can you look that up? Or sixty five?
Speaker 1: One of the two. It blew me away because she
Speaker 1: looks amazing. She looks amazing. Her arms are still like,
Speaker 1: her arms are cut up, her face is flawless. She's
Speaker 1: just like she has not, in my eyes, changed at
Speaker 1: all from thirty years ago. I mean, I think she
Speaker 1: definitely had a little bit of help. She might have,
Speaker 1: but we're not gonna take that from her. No, We're
Speaker 1: not gonna take it from her, but it's like, good help,
Speaker 1: she's turning sixty three. At sixty three, I want to
Speaker 1: look like that. She is black girl magic personified. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she's acting all the time. Listen. She's for those of
Speaker 1: you all who do not know who Angela Bassett is.
Speaker 1: She has played every black woman under the sun. She
Speaker 1: has played Harriet Tubman, she didn't play she was in
Speaker 1: waiting to excel. She played Betty Shabaz, she played Tina Turner,
Speaker 1: damn it. And she played them all as if she
Speaker 1: were that person. So Angela Bassett is my black girl Magic,
Speaker 1: Black History Month crush the end. She looks amazing, totally amazing.
Speaker 1: So she's absolutely fabulous for sure. It's the arms that
Speaker 1: impressed me. Yes, because you know, you can do a
Speaker 1: lot to the face. You know, you could do stuff
Speaker 1: to the boobs and the butt and stuff with the arms.
Speaker 1: You can't do anything with that. Yeah, you can get
Speaker 1: that sucked out and contoured. Yeah, but she didn't. We're
Speaker 1: doing all that. She didn't because she's Tina turn Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: but I want you to understand and maybe kind of
Speaker 1: a little it. Robin bowed down a little bit because
Speaker 1: we had to fight several months ago about Rihanna, and
Speaker 1: I said that she is pregnant, and you said, why
Speaker 1: you gotta say that? Why can't she just enjoy her burger?
Speaker 1: Why can't she buy everyone? Her stomach sticking out a
Speaker 1: little bit, and everybody want to say she's pregnant, but
Speaker 1: she's not. How she's not how many months pregnant? How
Speaker 1: how pregnant is she? She's pregnant, pregnant? What are you
Speaker 1: talking about? She's big and pregnant. Okay, fine, so I was.
Speaker 1: I called it for the record, for our reasonably shady
Speaker 1: fans called it. You did call it, but but everybody's
Speaker 1: been calling it for like two years. So you don't
Speaker 1: get a cookie for that. I get a cookie and
Speaker 1: calling it anytime she walked around looking a little pudgier
Speaker 1: than usual, people say she's pregnant, and she wasn't. I want,
Speaker 1: I want my damn cookie. But another But I am
Speaker 1: loving how she's like wearing her maternity clothes clothes, but
Speaker 1: she's like bedazzling her her belly. Yes, I feel like
Speaker 1: this is I feel like new and different and beautiful. Yes,
Speaker 1: And I feel like when you're pregnant, that's like the
Speaker 1: only time you can just wear whatever and like people
Speaker 1: be like, oh that's so amazing, Right, I'm I'm here
Speaker 1: for all of it, Like I'm waiting to see what's next. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's next with what she's going to wear? It? For
Speaker 1: the what do you call it? Burgeoning belly? What's it
Speaker 1: called it? Growing belly? I don't know something it was
Speaker 1: a word, y'all. I messed it up. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know. But she's slowing, is she is? And
Speaker 1: we're looking at a set Rocky like you got wall Falls?
Speaker 1: So did you know that like a long time ago
Speaker 1: a strap Rocky was like trashing Grihanna. He didn't really
Speaker 1: trash her. He just was like, she's the homie. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't date her, she's the homie. Really, Yeah, he never
Speaker 1: trashed her. He's supposedly he's always had a crush on her. Okay,
Speaker 1: I thought it was something else they dug up that
Speaker 1: he like, he tweeted something that I wouldn't be too
Speaker 1: happy about. Okay, what you watching these days? Anything you
Speaker 1: watch on TV? Okay, so you told me, um that
Speaker 1: you would watched that Bill Cosby Special? Yes? Right? Yes? Um?
Speaker 1: What is it called? We need to talk about Cosby.
Speaker 1: We need to talk about Cosby. And it's done by
Speaker 1: Come Out Bell w Kamal Bell, who does like a
Speaker 1: lot of documentaries definitely, you know, delving into like race
Speaker 1: and culture and society. Um. So it's on Showtime. It's
Speaker 1: a four part series and my son Carter actually watched
Speaker 1: a lot of it with me. And I have to admit, okay, um,
Speaker 1: I will admit. When Bill Cosby was being accused of
Speaker 1: all of this, you know, sexual assault, rape, blah blah blah,
Speaker 1: I turned a blind eye. I literally like closed my ears.
Speaker 1: La la la la la la la. I don't want
Speaker 1: to hear it. No, no, no, no, no. You know,
Speaker 1: I didn't want to know one thing because Bill Cosby,
Speaker 1: to me, reminded me so much of my dad. Okay,
Speaker 1: they're like a year part in age. Um they're both
Speaker 1: doctor you know. Well Cliff okay, let me you know,
Speaker 1: it's funny, it's like Cliff hus Huxtable. Yes, that was
Speaker 1: definitely my at my family, you know, the professional middle
Speaker 1: upper middle class black family went to HBC US and
Speaker 1: like jazz music. You know, because even on the Cosby Show,
Speaker 1: he's talking about jazz and all that and he's funny.
Speaker 1: My father has a great sense of humor. Um, and
Speaker 1: just the way Bill Cosby, like what Bill Cosby represented
Speaker 1: for the for black culture, right, it was huge. It
Speaker 1: was huge. And so because he reminded me of my
Speaker 1: father so much, I would not listen to one single
Speaker 1: news report about what he allegedly had done to these women.
Speaker 1: So you stuck your head in the sand. Yeah, Oh
Speaker 1: my god, that's special, okay. And another thing about the
Speaker 1: special is another thing about just Bill Cosby and what
Speaker 1: he meant, what he means or meant to black culture.
Speaker 1: It's like it was the first time that we were
Speaker 1: seeing a successful black family on television, that we were
Speaker 1: seeing a dad who was a doctor, a mom who's
Speaker 1: a lawyer. They're raising kids, they are intelligent, they're you know, funny,
Speaker 1: it's it's it was like a regular black family, right,
Speaker 1: And it was like an educational experience, like a black
Speaker 1: culture like And it was crazy because not that Cosby
Speaker 1: Show wasn't just for black people to know. Just white
Speaker 1: people love the Cosby Show. And I feel like that
Speaker 1: was great for them to see that, Oh, black people
Speaker 1: aren't just you know, what we what we see in
Speaker 1: the negative, you know, press or or you know, on
Speaker 1: the good times living in the projects, and you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, it was just great for them to
Speaker 1: see something else and so this special. And it was
Speaker 1: crazy to see how Bill Cosby over his what the
Speaker 1: forty year span of his career year span of his career,
Speaker 1: he was kind of like the one black man that
Speaker 1: was able to like kind of infiltrate mainstream media and
Speaker 1: be the face of so many brands. Um. He would
Speaker 1: he attracted so many you know, white audiences to his shows. Um,
Speaker 1: but to see him, you know, he was what the
Speaker 1: Jello puddy pop guy, and you know, Coca Cola and
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, all these like just big brands.
Speaker 1: And it was like to to to hear these stories. Okay,
Speaker 1: let let we gonna put these stories in perspective. We're
Speaker 1: gonna tell you what went down. And I want you
Speaker 1: all to watch. I don't want to definitely watch, but
Speaker 1: this is this is the story that all these women
Speaker 1: tell pretty much. And and just to put this in perspective,
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty four is when Bill Cosby was on a
Speaker 1: national nighttime television shall. I can't remember the name of it,
Speaker 1: but he was on it. He he like broke through. Okay,
Speaker 1: he was the man. He was a national name sixties. Okay.
Speaker 1: So he would find women, talk to them, put a
Speaker 1: quay lute in their drink, two of them, two of
Speaker 1: them because one with like one wasn't enough. And I'm
Speaker 1: not ever saying allegedly because this man admitted it. Okay,
Speaker 1: so they ain't alleged. That's what he did. He put
Speaker 1: he put two quit lutes in their drink. He'd knock
Speaker 1: them out, and then he had sex with him and
Speaker 1: then tell him get out. Yeah it when they woke up,
Speaker 1: but you gotta wake up. So he's basically having sex
Speaker 1: with a dead body. Because these women were comatose, they
Speaker 1: couldn't move, they didn't even remember the next day. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is how horrible this is. And he was so
Speaker 1: manipulative to make this so that the women thought that
Speaker 1: they did something wrong. Right, Oh my god, I can't
Speaker 1: believe I passed out. I can't believe I did that.
Speaker 1: And just the way that he would communicate with them,
Speaker 1: he was so manipulative. It was horrible. So as of
Speaker 1: right now, it's like sixty five women have come out
Speaker 1: to tell their story of what he did to them
Speaker 1: over the course of what fifty years. So if there's
Speaker 1: sixty five women that have come out publicly to say it,
Speaker 1: I believe there's hundreds. I believe there's hundreds of women.
Speaker 1: He did this too. He is a creeping a monster. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm saying it. He is such a disappointment to the
Speaker 1: black culture. To me personally, one day, he like approached
Speaker 1: my mother. He ran he s mother and like a
Speaker 1: black a black Hawcus event, and he even approached my mother.
Speaker 1: He like said something to my mom. But my mother
Speaker 1: felt like he was a little weird. Yes, I remember
Speaker 1: that from like years ago. And anyway, Bill, we ain't
Speaker 1: here for you, Bill. And then this man gets out
Speaker 1: of jail on a technicality. You get out of jail
Speaker 1: on a technicality, and you have people outside of your
Speaker 1: house screaming for you, like, oh Bill Gold, Bill, You're amazing. Bill,
Speaker 1: We love you. Bill. Know the hell we don't write.
Speaker 1: But they probably were like me, They probably were in denial.
Speaker 1: They probably really I don't you know, I'm not listening
Speaker 1: to that, you know. And then you also think, like, Okay,
Speaker 1: it's so easy for people to duplicate and replicate the
Speaker 1: stories that they're hearing. But I I mean, my perspective
Speaker 1: just completely changed. And I and I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: think I need to apologize to anyone, but like, I
Speaker 1: just think that's just I feel bad that I ever
Speaker 1: even doubted that this even happened. And I feel obviously
Speaker 1: we all feel bad for the victims. And we have
Speaker 1: to stop not believing people when they say that these
Speaker 1: kinds of things happen to you. We need to stop
Speaker 1: doing that because their stories are like, you know, he
Speaker 1: was like the biggest star. Yeah, no one's going to
Speaker 1: care if this. You know, little old me is saying, like, oh,
Speaker 1: because when are they gonna They're gonna blame the girl?
Speaker 1: Oh well, what were you wearing? What were you doing?
Speaker 1: Why were you there? Right? Oh well you took the drug.
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. It made me. Okay, we we we
Speaker 1: want you to watch it, and we've done talking about it,
Speaker 1: but I want to say that it made me go
Speaker 1: tell my daughters, don't ever drink or drink that somebody
Speaker 1: gives you. If the waitress didn't give it to you,
Speaker 1: don't drink it. And if you leave it there is done.
Speaker 1: If you leave it there and go to the bath, froolm.
Speaker 1: It's a rat, you're not drinking that again. And for me,
Speaker 1: you know, my I said, my son was watching it
Speaker 1: with me, and it made me feel good that he
Speaker 1: was like incredibly appalled, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 1: he's able to be like this is just horrible, you know,
Speaker 1: and so um, you know, I mean, I think it's
Speaker 1: a sensitive topic for kids, but but building that awareness
Speaker 1: and letting them know they need to know this happens.
Speaker 1: People are like this, it's horrible hard yeah there. So
Speaker 1: I mean, guys, watch this, yeah, watch it now. Another
Speaker 1: thing I want people to watch is, I know you
Speaker 1: haven't seen this. It's called Yellowstone. I haven't. Some people
Speaker 1: have told me to watch it though. Okay, it's very
Speaker 1: cowboys and Indians, and that's why I haven't watched, right,
Speaker 1: and it kind of it kind of you know, nobody
Speaker 1: out here, well me sell is not out here feeling
Speaker 1: like I need to root for the cowboy right over
Speaker 1: the Indians and you don't really get there. I just
Speaker 1: want people to watch it because the okay, the main
Speaker 1: guy is um, what's the bodyguard guy? Kevin Kevin Costner.
Speaker 1: The main lead is Kevin Costoner. We love Kevin Costner.
Speaker 1: He's been around forever. His daughter on the show is
Speaker 1: the baddest bitch on TV. She is the baddest bit
Speaker 1: on TV. Mean, like she kills people and stuff, she fights,
Speaker 1: She's just bad. She is just like hell raising. Just
Speaker 1: what is this on? Um? It's on Peacock right now? Peacock. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so check that out, okay, And another thing for the
Speaker 1: check for you guys to check out. It's Harlem. Okay
Speaker 1: have you heard of Harlem? Is that with it's with
Speaker 1: making good? Oh? Okay, yes, okay, so Harlem. I think
Speaker 1: mom are actually we like we like Harley again because
Speaker 1: I think Harley did tell me to watch this. I
Speaker 1: think she did, Yes, the ideal, so we forgive her
Speaker 1: for right. The only thing I don't like about it
Speaker 1: is it's called Harlem now because it makes you feel
Speaker 1: like there's so many other shows that are called Harlem
Speaker 1: or like The Big the Big Gangster in Harley makes
Speaker 1: you just think it's something else. But it should be
Speaker 1: called better than Sex in the City. Yes, it's like that,
Speaker 1: like it's it's the black girl version of it, like Megan,
Speaker 1: anything to watch that because it's right, so they need
Speaker 1: to change it. It's so good. I actually finished just
Speaker 1: this in Harlem, sisters in harp and they are doing it.
Speaker 1: It's funny, it's relatable. It's like it's everything making good.
Speaker 1: I think it's one of the executive producers. It's they
Speaker 1: did an amazing dads. It's on prime Amazon Amazon, so
Speaker 1: that is yeah, so definitely watch that the Olympics. Who cares? Yeah,
Speaker 1: no one, okay? And this makes me sad, you know what,
Speaker 1: It's so funny even once at this the other day,
Speaker 1: He's like, I remember when I was young and I
Speaker 1: used to get so excited to watch the Olympics. And
Speaker 1: I was like, yes, when I was a little girl,
Speaker 1: it was like you are like in front of the
Speaker 1: TV waiting for those ice skaters to come out. I
Speaker 1: knew their names, you know from what Debbie Thomas was
Speaker 1: the black one, and Christie i'm Agucci and Nancy karagain
Speaker 1: and even the Russia. Wanna who got beat up? Tya
Speaker 1: beating Nancy Thanya had some beating Nancy. Yeah, I signa
Speaker 1: Bayou And like I mean, I just like I was
Speaker 1: always I could not wait, ready, just watch this ice
Speaker 1: skating competition. And um now it's like I can't tell
Speaker 1: you one name any olympiad not not one, right, and
Speaker 1: which is insane. So so this is crazy part. The
Speaker 1: one evening, I couldn't sleep, okay, and I probably heard
Speaker 1: like one two o'clock in the morning. I could not sleep,
Speaker 1: toss and turned, so turned the TV on and the
Speaker 1: ice getting competition happened to be on. It was like
Speaker 1: the women's team competition, and I'm watching this girl from
Speaker 1: Russia skate and she's literally doing quadruple jumps, which is insane.
Speaker 1: And I'm watching it and so you know, the Olympics now,
Speaker 1: like they don't have any fans in the stand, right,
Speaker 1: so there's like no like what like you don't know
Speaker 1: when like it's a great moment. So I'm watching it
Speaker 1: and like she's doing all these quadruple jumps, which is
Speaker 1: unheard of. Okay, so you jump up and you spend
Speaker 1: around four times, four whole times, and you land on
Speaker 1: your foot and then you do another little triple jump
Speaker 1: right after that. Right, No, she was it was amazing,
Speaker 1: and she was She's very like thin, and so when
Speaker 1: when she would spin, it was like really fast and
Speaker 1: all that. And I'm sitting there and I'm like, I
Speaker 1: guess this is impressive because you know, there's no fans
Speaker 1: to scream a holler. I don't know anything about these
Speaker 1: ice skaters, and I'm like, okay, well, I'm hoping that
Speaker 1: what I'm watching is amazing, but you don't know, right,
Speaker 1: I don't know, because it's just like it was so weird.
Speaker 1: It was just so like whatever. So um her score,
Speaker 1: she end up scoring the highest the Russian team one
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Come to find out days later and
Speaker 1: it's going on right now. Um, the girls fifteen years
Speaker 1: old and has been accused of failed drug tests, accused
Speaker 1: of doping, taking heart medication. That's why fans normally without
Speaker 1: without drugs. She's too spin up went the drugs. So
Speaker 1: the reports are like she took in her system this
Speaker 1: and this was in December. She tested positive for three
Speaker 1: different heart medications, one which is a banned substance. And
Speaker 1: the story is, oh, she confused with her grandfather's heart medication.
Speaker 1: I'm why are you taking heart medication? I don't know
Speaker 1: you're in right exactly so now and this stuff the
Speaker 1: part she's still allowed to compete while the investigation is ongoing.
Speaker 1: The the little snaff food is because she's a miner
Speaker 1: and apparently I think I hurt, like they actually aren't
Speaker 1: supposed to test mind her, it's because she white, y'all,
Speaker 1: because Jakari Richardson is still sitting at home. Okay, it's
Speaker 1: because she's white. I said it, right, But what's really
Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, so the people are gonna whoever comes
Speaker 1: in gold, silver, bronze, or first, second, third, they're not
Speaker 1: going to get a metal ceremony, right because it is girl.
Speaker 1: Because she's gonna get gold because she's that amazing, right,
Speaker 1: because she got the drugs in here, Yes, because she
Speaker 1: took her daddy's brand, Daddy Hot Medicine. So the people
Speaker 1: who get silver and gold, which I mean silver and
Speaker 1: brons was I think they anticipated in American to get one,
Speaker 1: Maybe they don't even get to have a metal ceremony
Speaker 1: because they're investigating this girl. And then but then on
Speaker 1: the flip side, had to go posit for marijuana is
Speaker 1: not a performance enhancing drugs. Yes, every party I've been
Speaker 1: to in college. I mean I don't smoke weed, but
Speaker 1: you could if you tested me. I've had it all
Speaker 1: up and through my assistance. Yes, And ain't no weed
Speaker 1: making you run faster, go put you to sleep? But
Speaker 1: I do want to say. I think the reason why
Speaker 1: the Olympics just aren't as exciting for us because now
Speaker 1: there's so many distractions. There's so many distractions. I feel
Speaker 1: like they need to change. So Winter Olympics is every
Speaker 1: four years or two years, four let's make it eight's
Speaker 1: just make it eight years and then we'll care because
Speaker 1: we don't care. We just don't care. Okay. Anyway, all right,
Speaker 1: we have we have a new segment right now, do
Speaker 1: you do you? We have a couple of questions that
Speaker 1: we need to look at, and it's like, do you
Speaker 1: do these things? Right? Okay, so called a segment. It's
Speaker 1: all right, fine, I was just shooting the ship. I
Speaker 1: was trying to sound professional, Robbin. I was just trying
Speaker 1: to sound professional. Nobody wants to hear professional. Okay, fine, okay, fine,
Speaker 1: professional Gizella is dead. Okay, all right, So do you
Speaker 1: have a little stupid girl talk? All right, So I'll
Speaker 1: start off, do you Robin? And I think I already
Speaker 1: know the answer to this. Do you pee in the shower?
Speaker 1: Robin's drinking water right now? Who do you think? I
Speaker 1: think Robin definitely peas in the shower, and I know
Speaker 1: she PE's in the shower because like most men pee
Speaker 1: in the shower. I know all professional athletes pee in
Speaker 1: the shower. As a matter of fact, I know that
Speaker 1: they take the toothbrush, put toothpaste on it, they get
Speaker 1: in the shower, they brush their teeth, they pee, they
Speaker 1: rinse their mouth out, and then that's they're done. Like, Okay, yes,
Speaker 1: I pee in the shower. I do not brush my
Speaker 1: teeth in the shower. But I pee in the shower
Speaker 1: for multiple reasons. One and when I was a little girl.
Speaker 1: What we're gonna bring this back to chowerhood. Yes, we are.
Speaker 1: We are. When I was, did you pay in the shower? Okay? No? Yes,
Speaker 1: and no? Okay, So if I'm at I shouldn't say this.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get kicked out the gym. Oh lord say that. No,
Speaker 1: I do not pay in the shower in the gym,
Speaker 1: I do not, But I dare I don't do it
Speaker 1: in my house. Okay, all right, I'll tell you the story.
Speaker 1: So when I was a little girl, I wanted to
Speaker 1: be able to pee standing up, just like man, just
Speaker 1: like I saw my brother do. Okay, and I tried
Speaker 1: and it like went down my leg and I wait
Speaker 1: a minute, wait a minute, let's back all the way
Speaker 1: to freak up. So you're in You're not in the shower,
Speaker 1: You're you're on the toilet. I'm standing over the toy.
Speaker 1: You're standing over the toilet with your legs on both
Speaker 1: sides of the tour. This is the dumbest thing I've
Speaker 1: ever heard. Okay, And then what happened? And and I
Speaker 1: and I attempted to but like the pe like trickle next,
Speaker 1: like you know, like stuff on your legs. You think, Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I've always wanted to be able to successfully pea
Speaker 1: standing up. Jesus Christ, I can't. I'm leaving. We We
Speaker 1: had a we have a whole list of do you questions.
Speaker 1: We're ending it with this piece ship. Okay, it's over. Okay,
Speaker 1: So then what happened? So then, okay, as an adult, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll only pee pee in my shower because the drain
Speaker 1: is like right below me. Okay, So so I'm not
Speaker 1: going to pee in a shower like a bathtub shower
Speaker 1: where the drain is like you know, by the wall. Okay,
Speaker 1: right right right, Okay, Okay, I don't have aim like that,
Speaker 1: but I can I can like straddle really good and
Speaker 1: squat and just like and and my aim has gotten
Speaker 1: really good and it just goes straight down the drain.
Speaker 1: This is insane. And then the best part is I
Speaker 1: don't have to wipe myself. I just get that. I
Speaker 1: just I just take the shower head and I rent
Speaker 1: off with the water I can't And then I take
Speaker 1: shower and I rent. You know, I never miss, but
Speaker 1: you know I'll rent the drain and okay, and it's good.
Speaker 1: So do you see really want a penis? Is this
Speaker 1: what's happening here? Because I have never heard this. No,
Speaker 1: but it's not fair that men can just pee like,
Speaker 1: oh you're on a long road trip, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I gotta pee, pull over and men can just hop
Speaker 1: out and paid. It's not fair, Like, no, it's not fair.
Speaker 1: We gotta go in these nasty ass bathrooms at the
Speaker 1: gas station on the side. No, so yes, so, but okay,
Speaker 1: I pee a lot, like I drink a lot of water,
Speaker 1: so I pee quite often. So like when I'm in
Speaker 1: the shower, I gotta pee, and I'm like, I'm with that.
Speaker 1: I'm with that. But for the okay, so I have
Speaker 1: a question. Is it the same pipes? So it's the
Speaker 1: toilet pipe and the shower pipe the same pipes. Um,
Speaker 1: do they go to the same place. I don't know.
Speaker 1: That's a good question, because if they do go to
Speaker 1: the same place, then it doesn't really matter. Right. Oh,
Speaker 1: so my pa is going where it's going out. It's
Speaker 1: going out, right, So like the toilet, when you flush
Speaker 1: the toilet, it's not the same. They're not the same.
Speaker 1: But but are you implying that like the water that
Speaker 1: drains from the shower is being recycled. No, No, what
Speaker 1: I'm saying is the water the when you flush the toilet,
Speaker 1: that water with ship in it goes somewhere, right, Okay,
Speaker 1: is it when you take a shower, that water that
Speaker 1: draining goes somewhere? They are they going the same place?
Speaker 1: Because if they're going the same place, you're good. Right.
Speaker 1: So if so, if they're not going to the same place,
Speaker 1: I'm not good. Maybe not. But I mean, but you're
Speaker 1: still like renting off your dirty body. And that's true.
Speaker 1: You know what's true. I think it's all going out.
Speaker 1: It's just going out the house. So you're fine, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: But I mean it's more, it's not even about where
Speaker 1: it's going. It's like, as long as there's like not
Speaker 1: Pete all in the shower. That would be kind nasty.
Speaker 1: It's kind of nasty, but okay. So I read this
Speaker 1: report one day though about how I shouldn't pee in
Speaker 1: the shower because it does something to my bladder. Why
Speaker 1: to make it's like a subconscious thing that where it
Speaker 1: makes your bladder thing. Oh, I'm in the shower. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's water, let me pee. So is that your brain
Speaker 1: or your bladder? Maybe both? This is who report on TV.
Speaker 1: I read it. Yeah, I read it, and it wrote
Speaker 1: the article. This was not Dr Fauci, by the way.
Speaker 1: It was looking very good on the cover of some magazine.
Speaker 1: Was Yeah, he was on the cover of something. I
Speaker 1: don't know, zad where Speaking of Zaddie, we do have
