Speaker 1: What's that? My people? This is Robin Dixon. Thank you
Speaker 1: once again for being here with us. Yes, and first
Speaker 1: and foremost problem, we have things to discuss, like our
Speaker 1: reasonably Shady moment of the week. All right, what are
Speaker 1: we talking about? Let's see. Okay, So I don't really okay,
Speaker 1: this is still This is just something I wanted to share.
Speaker 1: This is you know, did not happen to me, but
Speaker 1: I witnessed it. It's another traveling story, Okay, because I
Speaker 1: have one too. Yes, um, so when we were on
Speaker 1: the plane on the way back home from Jamaica, and
Speaker 1: you know what, you gotta do what you gotta do.
Speaker 1: So that's how you're gonna start this. You gotta do
Speaker 1: what you gotta gotta do. Yeah, Okay, you gotta do
Speaker 1: what you gotta do. So you know, they're all like, okay,
Speaker 1: the plane is about to take off. You know, everybody,
Speaker 1: put your seatbelts on. Everybody. You know, we're backing up
Speaker 1: from the gate and turn your turn. This off with whatever,
Speaker 1: all that all that ship, stay in your see, don't
Speaker 1: get up blah blah. You know, the flight attendants got
Speaker 1: their seatbuls bugle. Okay, And all I hear is this
Speaker 1: little voice. I got a pee? I got it was
Speaker 1: a kid, yes, oh yes, So the little boys like
Speaker 1: behind me, it's like the row, you know, the other
Speaker 1: owl or the other side of the plane behind me.
Speaker 1: And I look and he's looking. He's like there with
Speaker 1: this his grandma. Right, she's just a little boy. And
Speaker 1: she's like looking like, oh, ship, Like what do I do?
Speaker 1: Oh ship? Grandma? What pulled out a cup? No? Pulled
Speaker 1: out the little penis a little way way No, and
Speaker 1: she directed that pee into the cup. I'm disgusted. I
Speaker 1: am disgusted. This ain't shady. This is disgusting. What she
Speaker 1: but she didn't miss. I mean, I was like not
Speaker 1: trying to watch what I was watching because I'm like,
Speaker 1: I gotta see if she make it in right, they
Speaker 1: make it in the cup. He made it in the cup,
Speaker 1: and you know grandma's shoe, you know. Chrisis averted. But
Speaker 1: it just made me think, I'm like, okay, so many
Speaker 1: things here like yes, you have to do what you
Speaker 1: had to do when you're traveling with kids and literally
Speaker 1: have to pee in the middle of take off, Like, well,
Speaker 1: don't you tell him to hold it? But a kid
Speaker 1: like literally he was like three to three, he was okay,
Speaker 1: he was real little. Yeah, he was real little. So
Speaker 1: you couldn't say just hold it until we take off. Now,
Speaker 1: I mean, he kept I gotta pee. I got grandma
Speaker 1: a cup. I'm sure the little boy has done pete
Speaker 1: on himself. Well where did she get the cup from?
Speaker 1: What was in the cup? So the cup so I think,
Speaker 1: you know, like sometimes when you're um on a plane
Speaker 1: and they like give you a drink before you take
Speaker 1: off or something. So she had like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: let that okay, it's gone. Um. She had like one
Speaker 1: of those like plastic cups that you usually get on
Speaker 1: an airplane, right, so it was like a nice wide opening,
Speaker 1: Oh okay, he was able to pee into. But then
Speaker 1: it just had me thinking like, oh my gosh, like
Speaker 1: that's when you get the heebie geebs, Like how much
Speaker 1: ship happens on these damn airplanes? Like how many little boys?
Speaker 1: How many little boys have pete on the seat? You know,
Speaker 1: I didn't make it, didn't have a cup and pete
Speaker 1: on the seat and now I'm sitting on it, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like, it's just so many things
Speaker 1: to think about. So it's I mean the moment is shady, yes,
Speaker 1: because like that's just grows. It's not Shady's disgusting. It's disgusting.
Speaker 1: But Grandma had to do what she had to do. Listen, Grandma,
Speaker 1: sometimes you just stuck it out right. Yes, Grandma, I'm
Speaker 1: not mad at you at this point, I'm not mad
Speaker 1: at her because she really was like like she had
Speaker 1: the look of like worry on her face. And then
Speaker 1: I looked at the people across, like right across the
Speaker 1: out and they were like like we were just looking
Speaker 1: at each other like what the fun like because they
Speaker 1: knew what was going on behind them. Oh my god, Okay,
Speaker 1: I remember being pregnant and I took I was sick
Speaker 1: on the plane. I took out the the airbag and
Speaker 1: I threw up in it and then I put it back.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Like, why didn't I just throw that
Speaker 1: in the trash can? Um? That that was disgusting. Pa,
Speaker 1: I'm sure somebody eventually threw it away. That's that was
Speaker 1: that was terrible that was absolutely terrible, disgusting. But that's
Speaker 1: not my shady moment. Okay, I have a shady moment,
Speaker 1: your shady moment. Okay. As I told y'all, Ill spent
Speaker 1: some four or five days in London. Yes, okay, so
Speaker 1: outside of my kids, who walk really fast, and they
Speaker 1: had decided to like walk super fast and like leave me.
Speaker 1: That was and I like try was trying to keep
Speaker 1: up with them, and I'm like, my really, my heart
Speaker 1: started being fast because I'm like trying to keep up
Speaker 1: with my kids who are sixteen walking fast. Me and
Speaker 1: Grace are like slow out. But anyway, that's not there
Speaker 1: the Twains being shady because they walked fast. It's not
Speaker 1: my shady moment. Okay, this is I have a shady
Speaker 1: question moment. Okay. So while in London, I decided to
Speaker 1: speak like I was from London, so you know, people
Speaker 1: would be like, you know, um so if I wanted. Oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, taxis are all over the place and
Speaker 1: like nobody really ubers and everybody takes taxis like New
Speaker 1: York back in the day. I love and their taxis
Speaker 1: are you sit facing each other, so there's like two
Speaker 1: seats and then like a row and like you face
Speaker 1: each other. Okay, okay to like pull down seats. It's
Speaker 1: very cute. So um, I would be like, oh, I'd
Speaker 1: like to go, oh my god, oh my god, i'd
Speaker 1: I'd like to show my kids looking palace. Why why
Speaker 1: I can't even get it out? I'd like to show
Speaker 1: my my children Buckingham Palace. Why can you make sure
Speaker 1: that that you take a road so that they can
Speaker 1: see Buckingham Palace? I was I don't know. I was
Speaker 1: talking British slash Jamaican. I mean, I don't even know
Speaker 1: what that is. So my kids were like, my, you
Speaker 1: can't do that because you're not really British. But I
Speaker 1: felt like I was paying them respect by using their
Speaker 1: same accent. That was respectful. I thought, um, no, negative, negative,
Speaker 1: Why would that be respectful? Because like, I'm speaking like
Speaker 1: they speak. I liked the book they speak. So if
Speaker 1: you were in um, just let's say Mexico, all right,
Speaker 1: I don't know Spanish, okay, but you were speaking with
Speaker 1: an accent. I don't know Spanish. So the only way
Speaker 1: I pull this off is actually like English, because I
Speaker 1: know English and they speak proper English okay. So yeah,
Speaker 1: and they would always ask me like, what did you
Speaker 1: get into the queue? So you know, que is line right,
Speaker 1: and I'd be like, oh, yes, I cute. On the
Speaker 1: other side, I was really busted the line. I was
Speaker 1: never staying in the line, and I would always say
Speaker 1: I cute, I cute, and oh my god, a lion anyway,
Speaker 1: so I felt like I was showing them respect. My
Speaker 1: kids were like, this is cultural appropriate disappropriation. Appropriate appropris
Speaker 1: so now, okay, So what if we're at an HBCU,
Speaker 1: right and there's a one white student in the class
Speaker 1: and every time he raises his hand to talk, he
Speaker 1: sounds like he's trying to sound like a black man. Okay,
Speaker 1: that would be wrong. Is that okay, that's not okay? Okay, fine.
Speaker 1: So I was shady. I was shady in London, y'all.
Speaker 1: I was trying to speak like y'all. And apparently that
Speaker 1: was not good. But I was enjoying it because I
Speaker 1: feel like the way British people talk is like, so,
Speaker 1: it's beautiful. Interesting to me, it's beautiful, and you sounded
Speaker 1: nothing like them. That's the other part. Like it what
Speaker 1: they probably oh my gosh, like lady beat it, if
Speaker 1: lady beat it, if you're going to talk like them, like,
Speaker 1: at least I don't know, make it sound good, like
Speaker 1: that's what I would in the morning. I would ask
Speaker 1: for cool songs. No, stop it, stop moving on. They
Speaker 1: don't say that CRU would like a proper breakfast anyway, Londoners,
Speaker 1: we love y'all. We know that you're a big fans
Speaker 1: of Real Housewives and we do appreciate it. Okay, so
Speaker 1: we we last week did not talk about speaking of
Speaker 1: black colleges. We didn't talk about the fact that Zahara
Speaker 1: Jolie or Pitt. I don't know what her last name is,
Speaker 1: but Angelina is it? Julie? Oh, she's going to spell Man.
Speaker 1: I know how awesome is that? So for people who
Speaker 1: don't know what spelling is, Spellman is a historically black college, um,
Speaker 1: and isn't all women's college in Atlanta. In Atlanta, it
Speaker 1: is very you know, prestigious, very prestigious, beautiful, amazing school.
Speaker 1: And the Jolie Pitts are sending their black daughter because
Speaker 1: she's like what I guess she like Ethiopian or clearly, um,
Speaker 1: they're sending into a black college, which I think is beautiful,
Speaker 1: absolutely amazing. When so they had their like freshman orientation
Speaker 1: day and Angelina was there, and she was amongst all
Speaker 1: the other black mamas, and I think that they were
Speaker 1: having um dance off and Angela and Jelie didn't know
Speaker 1: what the hell was happening. They even do the electric slide.
Speaker 1: She is like electric slide. She didn't know what the want. Listen,
Speaker 1: you're not invited to the barbecue, Angelie, You're not invited.
Speaker 1: It's a hard can come anytime, but you ma'am, I'm
Speaker 1: not invited. So do you think that she's going to
Speaker 1: come back for like parents weekend and stuff. Yes, that's
Speaker 1: her child. Yeah, but I love the fact that she
Speaker 1: was trying, Yeah, like she was trying to like fit
Speaker 1: in with the other black mamas. And but I saw
Speaker 1: Brad wasn't there. Um he's like out promoting a movie
Speaker 1: or something. Yes, he's he's he's playing the bills, but no,
Speaker 1: develment is not cheat. Yeah. I thought that's so cool,
Speaker 1: Like that's that's Um. They did right by her, you know,
Speaker 1: because I'm sure she's lived a very strange, shelter privileged life.
Speaker 1: And you know, I wonder if it was their decision
Speaker 1: or if this if I want to came from the
Speaker 1: parents Angelina and Brad Orfree came from herself to say,
Speaker 1: you know, I want to experience something different. I want
Speaker 1: to wear my people. Yeah, I wonder how that happened.
Speaker 1: That's a good question. I'm sure she'll tell us one day.
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I'm sure somebody will interview her and
Speaker 1: ask her and she she will let the people know.
Speaker 1: But yes, I think that it is. She's going to
Speaker 1: get a fantastic education. It's funny because my kids were like,
Speaker 1: oh they they The question there they were asking was like,
Speaker 1: do we think she's going to be treated normally? Quote normally?
Speaker 1: And I'm like, yeah, anybody think about Angelina and Brad right.
Speaker 1: And also there's like so many black celebrities send their
Speaker 1: children to Spellman right, Like, so they're they're as hard
Speaker 1: as not the first celebrity child either. So so yeah,
Speaker 1: she would be treated like everybody else, and she should
Speaker 1: be and that'll be the best thing for her. Now, um,
Speaker 1: speaking of being people being treated unfairly, all right, I
Speaker 1: know you don't know who this guy is, but my
Speaker 1: kids wanted me to be up on this dude named
Speaker 1: Andrew Tate. Okay, so Andrew take used to be like
Speaker 1: a professional boxer or something. He's the guys like maybe
Speaker 1: around thirty five. Um, but now I think he's retired
Speaker 1: from this whole boxing gig. So now he has like
Speaker 1: this like one of the largest podcasts ever. I start
Speaker 1: typing in a N d R and his name comes
Speaker 1: up immediately, nice looking guys like a black No, what
Speaker 1: is he now? He's he's like a b He's American,
Speaker 1: British retired kickboxer, kickboxing internet personality and to that personality. Okay,
Speaker 1: so his views on women are disgusting. He thinks that
Speaker 1: women once we're like over the age of twenty five,
Speaker 1: we're we're no good, We're ugly. He's like, you know,
Speaker 1: only like five percent of women are datable to him
Speaker 1: and the rest are trash. Oh and he has beat
Speaker 1: a woman with a belt. Yes, And some people allegedly
Speaker 1: are saying that he's a what do you call a
Speaker 1: sex trafficker? But I don't. I'm not saying that, So
Speaker 1: let me just say this. That's allegedly, but I can
Speaker 1: say that he has a huge following of young men
Speaker 1: do who think that he is speaking the truth. It's
Speaker 1: kind of like a Cam Newton nish type, you know,
Speaker 1: Cam is like, I want a woman to cook and
Speaker 1: clean and have some babies. He's kind of like that too,
Speaker 1: and he's so articulate that you might even be like,
Speaker 1: mm oh, he sounds convincing. He might be saying something good.
Speaker 1: But he was like, you know, if a woman has
Speaker 1: gone to a club before, then she's trashed to me,
Speaker 1: because I want to be able to have her experience
Speaker 1: everything the first time with me, not with you know,
Speaker 1: it's unattractive if she's like dated a bunch of people.
Speaker 1: Do you think he's doing this to get a response,
Speaker 1: to get attention now? I think he really feels his way, really,
Speaker 1: because I'm like, so, I'm googling him right now, and
Speaker 1: it's like, so he recently has gone viral. So it's
Speaker 1: like all these articles, who is Andrew taiting? Why has
Speaker 1: he suddenly gone viral? And now there's all these calls
Speaker 1: you know, for TikTok to remove him, and so feminists
Speaker 1: have spoken out against them. So his response to feminists
Speaker 1: are where y'all are all ugly anyway, So I'm not
Speaker 1: even talking about you. So this is a feminist Giselle
Speaker 1: and Robin, and we're not ugly, Okay. I think he's
Speaker 1: doing this for attention. He's trying you know why he's
Speaker 1: doing this because he wants to up the anti for
Speaker 1: future fights, like he wants to fight again. I don't
Speaker 1: think so, and does he looks? I think that that's
Speaker 1: kind of like your agent, Jake Paul targets fight with
Speaker 1: controversial kickboxer Andrew Tate. So it's like, now people want
Speaker 1: to fight him, Okay, but you need to ask you
Speaker 1: want to up the antie, You need to ask your
Speaker 1: boys if they've ever heard of this dude, because if
Speaker 1: they have and they listen to him, god forbid they
Speaker 1: subscribe to anything this man says out his mouth because
Speaker 1: he is disgusting. I've never heard his name before, but
Speaker 1: I will. I will definitely ask and make sure they
Speaker 1: know that this is not this is not okay. I mean,
Speaker 1: I just I feel like people do do ship nowadays
Speaker 1: for attention. I really do, for a response for to
Speaker 1: go viral, Like I don't know, this is just like ridiculous, Okay.
Speaker 1: But speaking of on the other side of that, women's empowerment,
Speaker 1: loving yourself, loving your body, can we talk about Lizzo's
Speaker 1: new show, What's Up, y'all? It's Lizzo, I'm looking for
Speaker 1: dancers to join me on my tour. Girls that look
Speaker 1: like me, don't get representations. Kind of pull up my sleeves,
Speaker 1: find them myself. We think, and we pretty and we
Speaker 1: know what we doubt. It's the battle of the big Girl.
Speaker 1: I don't know about show. Okay, let me tell y'all
Speaker 1: about Lizzo's Big Girl Show. Um it's something like Big Girl. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like okay. So somebody called me while I was
Speaker 1: on vacation. They were like, you need to be like
Speaker 1: if you're like traveling or whatever, you need to watch this.
Speaker 1: And I was like, I'm not a big Lizzo fan,
Speaker 1: just only because I don't really know a lot of
Speaker 1: her songs. So I was like, Lizzo, I'm not watching
Speaker 1: that Big Girls, like give it up for the big girls.
Speaker 1: Like you talk about I want to be a big girl,
Speaker 1: now I do. I've been watching it. I really want
Speaker 1: to be a big girl. Okay, So she needs to
Speaker 1: find she's Lizzo is doing a show at Bonaru, which
Speaker 1: is similar to like a Coachella, and she's a headliner,
Speaker 1: so she needs to find backup dancers and you know,
Speaker 1: all of her backup dancers. She wants to be big girls.
Speaker 1: I get that. So she has auditions. She she picks
Speaker 1: like ten of them. She puts them in a big
Speaker 1: house and they have they have to do a nude
Speaker 1: photo shoot. They gotta do um learn all this choreography,
Speaker 1: I mean, all this stuff that they canna do. Because
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, Lizzo travels with these
Speaker 1: girls and they're like family. She never wants to have
Speaker 1: anybody around that's like, can't click with the fans, okay,
Speaker 1: so she eats with them. She's like and she's always like,
Speaker 1: it's so powerful because it's all about empower and loving
Speaker 1: your body. Ever, it looks like she comes in and
Speaker 1: she's twerking and she got her throngs on. I'm like, damn, listen,
Speaker 1: I want to be a big girl. Cann audition for
Speaker 1: the big Girl. True, I'm not a big girl, but
Speaker 1: I mean I'm just like just loving the confidence. I'm
Speaker 1: loving the confidence. And mostly girls are coming in not
Speaker 1: being obviously as confident as Lizzo, right, So that's a
Speaker 1: whole transformation that they're going through, and Lizzo is so
Speaker 1: loving to them and empowerment, empowering to them. It's beautiful. Wow. Okay,
Speaker 1: so what is this one? Amazon Prime? Check it out. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm not done with it yet, but there's like, oh
Speaker 1: and there was one girl. I'm just gonna give you
Speaker 1: all this right now. This is a little bit of
Speaker 1: a spoiler alert. She was like I hated her from
Speaker 1: the first episode. I'm not gonna say what her name is.
Speaker 1: She was very toxic to the group, and she she
Speaker 1: thought she was on Real Housewives. Okay, so she was
Speaker 1: like fighting with everybody and listen. I was like, one
Speaker 1: of our rule says that there is no toxicity big girls,
Speaker 1: and so she was given toxicity more than noon tonight. Listen, listen,
Speaker 1: send her a package. So I was like, yes, listen,
Speaker 1: oh yes, ok so okay, So I like it all right.
Speaker 1: It's it's about confidence and being positive and supporting one another.
Speaker 1: So I want you guys to watch it and if
Speaker 1: regardless of like what side you are, if you want
Speaker 1: to then become a big girl, because it's gonna make
Speaker 1: you want to become a big girl. Have you seen
Speaker 1: Claimed the Fame? No? Okay, it's actually it's very interesting.
Speaker 1: So it's on I want to say CBS. It's like
Speaker 1: a group of a bunch of people say, like, I
Speaker 1: don't know, twelve fifteen people in a house and they
Speaker 1: all are somehow related to a famous person. I've heard
Speaker 1: about this. Okay, it's actually really intriguing. It's kind of funny.
Speaker 1: So it's like people in the house trying to figure
Speaker 1: out who's who, and then they have challenges and you know,
Speaker 1: somebody's at the bottle them and you know, if you
Speaker 1: figure them out, they got to go home. And if
Speaker 1: you if you guess wrong, then then you get sent
Speaker 1: home and whatever. I don't know, so anyway, I just
Speaker 1: watched it and it was just like so like sometimes
Speaker 1: it's just fun just to watch like stupid TV where
Speaker 1: you don't have to think too much, but you're like intrigues,
Speaker 1: are you? You know, you go online and you're like Google, like, okay,
Speaker 1: who's in this house? So the ones? Okay, there's one
Speaker 1: on there and maybe she might be kicked off. By
Speaker 1: now it is one thousand percent clear that she is
Speaker 1: simone Bows's sister. Like they look alike. She looks exactly
Speaker 1: like her, Like it's like she should not be on
Speaker 1: this show, right, but they're keeping her around. At least
Speaker 1: when I was watching it, they were keeping her around
Speaker 1: because she's an easy guest. So it's like like they're
Speaker 1: not so when someone is kind of like it's like
Speaker 1: kind of her explained when they're like in the when
Speaker 1: they are appointed the guess or if they think they
Speaker 1: have an inkling about someone else, they're going to go
Speaker 1: for that other person instead of Mombo was a sister
Speaker 1: because they're like, well, we're gonna keep her around because
Speaker 1: at some point we're gonna need her because we know
Speaker 1: it's her. Okay, god, you know what I'm saying. Yes,
Speaker 1: I don't know. So anyway, so it's like fun to
Speaker 1: try to like figure out like who these people are.
Speaker 1: And so like one girl when I got she got
Speaker 1: voted off. She's like Brett Farve's daughter. Um, Brett father,
Speaker 1: the quarterback, famous quarterback. Oh you know Brett, you go
Speaker 1: way back, Brett. What you said? It like, I know
Speaker 1: who that is. He's not my homeboy. Oh no, I
Speaker 1: don't know. No, he's not in any of my past.
Speaker 1: No I'm not. I think. Um, I think one girl's
Speaker 1: like will be Goldberg's daughter. No what, but we know
Speaker 1: what she's Al Sharpton's daughter. Now she's in there, puppet
Speaker 1: she is the puppet Man's puppet. Yes, okay, I'm not
Speaker 1: mad at that. So I had to Google to figure
Speaker 1: out who she was. But she was in and she
Speaker 1: was like, you know, my father is a like they'll
Speaker 1: give you hints and stuff. Oh, they'll give you clues,
Speaker 1: and some of the clues aren't right. It's just I
Speaker 1: don't know. It's just really like it's kind of it's cute,
Speaker 1: it's fun, it's like easy to watch. It's almost like
Speaker 1: a mystery, but it's like not that, you know, it's
Speaker 1: not like a murder mystery. It's like you're playing the
Speaker 1: game clue. Okay, So what what station is this on?
Speaker 1: I think CBS. Okay, so I'll check it out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I think I missed it last night. I need
Speaker 1: to catch up. But I was just like, and what
Speaker 1: do you win at the end? A hundred thousand dollars?
Speaker 1: I'll take that, right, okay? Yeah, and you're how long
Speaker 1: are you there? Probably two weeks? You know, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, so I wonder how often they have these
Speaker 1: eliminations because it's literally like it's at least twelve people. Okay,
Speaker 1: so they gotta they gotta get rid of they gotta
Speaker 1: get down to a winner. Yeah, but our Sharp's daughter
Speaker 1: she was. You know what, I want to google and
Speaker 1: see who got voted off yesterday? Okay, you google that.
Speaker 1: And in the meantime, what I do, like, what what's
Speaker 1: the show? Um the mass singer? Yes, I'm like I'm
Speaker 1: always googling, like who is who is on this show?
Speaker 1: Who do people think it's on? Here? Well, we know
Speaker 1: Candy one one year we gotta give shout out to.
Speaker 1: So while you're googling that, I do want to bring
Speaker 1: up the fact that like up duping me, stop trying
Speaker 1: to make me believe in love. Love conquers all. Neo
Speaker 1: and his wife remarriage, we re wedding or I don't know.
Speaker 1: They said they renewed there so they filed for divorces
Speaker 1: years ago and then they guess clearly didn't get they
Speaker 1: didn't go through with the divorce and they renewed their
Speaker 1: vows and then they had like a second second wedding
Speaker 1: all kinds expensive, and now they're not gonna be together
Speaker 1: no more. And that's what I'm just like, Neo, you
Speaker 1: knew you aren't gonna do right the first time, so
Speaker 1: like come on now, like don't stop it. That's I'm
Speaker 1: moving on. Stop it. But how can you feel about
Speaker 1: people like so she put the neo's wife post like,
Speaker 1: you know, pretty much saying she was divorcing him or
Speaker 1: you know, breaking up because he's been like sleeping with prostitutes.
Speaker 1: And I don't know, like how everybody, how do you
Speaker 1: feel about people like making these public statements, especially when
Speaker 1: there's children involved. I think that you should not. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, we we know a lot of people are
Speaker 1: going through divorce these days, and I think that you
Speaker 1: always have to be That's what you have to be
Speaker 1: aware of. The children are going to have a feeling
Speaker 1: about what you're saying about their parents at some point.
Speaker 1: Probably not then, but at some point if you're a
Speaker 1: public person, yeah, they can always google it and and
Speaker 1: learn later. Yes, yes, So govern yourself accordingly and just
Speaker 1: you know, you don't have to burn people in the streets.
Speaker 1: Just get your money and go That's what I say.
Speaker 1: Just just get your if you have a prenup, get
Speaker 1: whatever the prenup says, and go the end. Um, oh
Speaker 1: she was eliminated our Sharpton. God, now I can't watch
Speaker 1: because because she was like, oh yeah she was she
Speaker 1: was pulling strings Okay, they had to get her up
Speaker 1: out of there. Okay, now I know one thing, oh,
Speaker 1: a couple of things. Chris Brown and his meat and great.
Speaker 1: We did not talk about that, okay. If Chris Brown
Speaker 1: did not give me high school from yes, yes, okay.
Speaker 1: So if you go to Instagram and you pull up
Speaker 1: like Chris Brown Meet and Greet, you will see him
Speaker 1: taking pictures with all kinds of random people I wanted.
Speaker 1: First of all, I wonder how much he's charging for them.
Speaker 1: I heard there was a thousand dollars, a thousands and
Speaker 1: the people are able to take like any kind of
Speaker 1: picture they want. This man, he's like, it's hilarious. He's
Speaker 1: like holding them from the back, like like from pictures,
Speaker 1: like his arms around this one girl. He was like
Speaker 1: bent down on one knee and she was like straddling
Speaker 1: the knee and then they were like all smiles, like
Speaker 1: he was really with this one. They were like all
Speaker 1: over him. But I think that's so cute. So first
Speaker 1: of all, people are like a thousand dollars, he's crazy
Speaker 1: for charging a thousand dollars. Let's talk about that, Like,
Speaker 1: I understand why he's charging a thousand dollars, right, If
Speaker 1: he charged a hundred dollars, it would be a million
Speaker 1: people there, So right, so you gotta che like for him.
Speaker 1: He's got to charge a high amount to be able
Speaker 1: to control the crowd, you know what I mean. And
Speaker 1: he's allowing you to do whatever you want in the picture.
Speaker 1: I mean, sure there's like limitations, but like he's giving
Speaker 1: you your full experience. But I'm sure those people didn't
Speaker 1: even know when they bought this thousand dollar meet and
Speaker 1: greet ticket that they were literally going to be able
Speaker 1: to take a picture with Chris brown and his arms
Speaker 1: would be fully wrapped around your back and your chest
Speaker 1: and your arms. It's given it to me. I mean,
Speaker 1: he looks like he's in love with every less and
Speaker 1: he looks like he's having fun. Yeah, like he's having
Speaker 1: a ball. So would you do that? So are we
Speaker 1: splitting this if we're both given five with Chris browne? No, no, no,
Speaker 1: I'm saying if we if we had a reasonably shady show,
Speaker 1: would you take some extra cozy Why not? Now one
Speaker 1: is not allowing you to do that. Okay, let's just
Speaker 1: make that clear. I mean, I don't think want to
Speaker 1: be worried about true the people, it's true. I don't know,
Speaker 1: because they're they're up closing personal I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: I feel kind of weird about charging a thousand dollars
Speaker 1: for it? Oh yeah, no know, I mean I don't
Speaker 1: think we would command I don't think we have not
Speaker 1: Chris Brown. I'll be honest, right, Um, but yeah, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't mind that. Yeah, yeah, even though I'm not, like,
Speaker 1: I don't really love meet and greets. I don't want
Speaker 1: to say that. I don't want to say that that's
Speaker 1: not true, but I feel like so for us meet
Speaker 1: and greets because they're so you know, you kind of
Speaker 1: like I have to you know, get through as many
Speaker 1: people as possible. You don't really get to spend great
Speaker 1: time with them. So I think these pictures that Chris
Speaker 1: Brown is taking is giving them like the best memory
Speaker 1: of their life. Yes, And that's actually my issue with
Speaker 1: meet and greets, Like you really don't get to like
Speaker 1: talk to the people and have a conversation. It's just like, hi, okay,
Speaker 1: picture and then you're going to see how Like I mean,
Speaker 1: if you're doing meet and greeds, so like they filed through,
Speaker 1: take a picture, you know, a little chit chat and
Speaker 1: then let them stay and do like a little intimate
Speaker 1: Q and a yeah, okay, okay, yes you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. I think then then it makes it. Then
Speaker 1: you feel like, okay, you're able to like connect a
Speaker 1: little bit more. Yeah, And now that we're talking this out,
Speaker 1: you know, I would never want to do a Chris
Speaker 1: Brown situation because we're women. It's like man, man might
Speaker 1: start feeling your butt or something like and then a
Speaker 1: lot of like we meet women, we meet man, we
Speaker 1: met we meet straight man, we meet gay man, and
Speaker 1: so it's like, who are we taking a picture with
Speaker 1: like that? Yeah? Now, yeah, I say no, I'm a
Speaker 1: past So if you want to if you were going
Speaker 1: to put that on that on the agenda for our
Speaker 1: next meeting, the answer is now I'm saying no. Okay.
Speaker 1: So we do have to talk about um, you have
Speaker 1: brought up to me how many photos or videos do
Speaker 1: you have in your phone? Who do you? Okay, first,
Speaker 1: do you think I have more? Do you think you
Speaker 1: have more? I think you have more? Um, And I'll
Speaker 1: tell you even why this was like a subject. So
Speaker 1: my phone was like at capacity for storage, and when
Speaker 1: I looked at like how many pictures I had, I'm like,
Speaker 1: this is ridiculous, Like I shouldn't have this many pictures
Speaker 1: because like what do you do with all these pictures? Right?
Speaker 1: So I just I literally have been on a mission
Speaker 1: to delete all the necessary pictures in my phone. Right. So,
Speaker 1: like think about when you take a picture, right, you
Speaker 1: take a selfie, you take like twelve versions of the
Speaker 1: same picture, right, and you just leave them there, like
Speaker 1: you don't you know, say, you just pick the one
Speaker 1: you post, the one you want to use, and then
Speaker 1: the red and then you're all these like crazy suns.
Speaker 1: Or if like someone, if you give someone a picture
Speaker 1: of your phone, like, oh, take a picture of me,
Speaker 1: and they take like all these you have, like like
Speaker 1: so many pictures of the same outfit, the same pole,
Speaker 1: the same It's like, oh on my face is now
Speaker 1: I'm stiling Now, I'm cocking my head to the side
Speaker 1: to the right. I cocked my head to the left,
Speaker 1: Like which one do you need? You know what I'm saying. Okay,
Speaker 1: so before you started purging? Yeah, are you gonna give
Speaker 1: me the number before you started? Because this is unfair
Speaker 1: robbing because I haven't purged, you haven't purged, and I
Speaker 1: just went on vacate and I have a million pictures
Speaker 1: in here, right, I'm sure you do. Okay, so give
Speaker 1: me the number before you decided to clear out your phone. Okay,
Speaker 1: and this so photos and videos? How many photos? Okay,
Speaker 1: that's just start with photos, just photos, all right. So
Speaker 1: so I believe I have well, so I believe I
Speaker 1: have so far deleted like four thousand photos, so right,
Speaker 1: so that would put me at like, um like photos, okay,
Speaker 1: al right, so I only have nine thousand ninotos, so
Speaker 1: you have beat to me I have, which is crazy
Speaker 1: because like I stopped taking like I don't take that
Speaker 1: many pictures anymore. And I think I stopped doing it
Speaker 1: because I'm like, I take all these damn pictures, I
Speaker 1: never do anything with them, yes, but nine thousands a lot.
Speaker 1: So right now, So after I've done some deleting, I
Speaker 1: have eight thousand three photos, and I have how many videos?
Speaker 1: Do you have? Two thousand, six d nineteen damn? What
Speaker 1: any videos? Because videos is like w's what's up? I
Speaker 1: mean videos you can like get into it. You can
Speaker 1: do a turn in a spin, you can cock your
Speaker 1: head to the side and throw your ponytail. Honey. Well okay, okay,
Speaker 1: so I probably have deleted a thousand videos. So right
Speaker 1: now I have one videos. Okay, so we're about the same.
Speaker 1: But my videos are not of myself swinging my ponytail.
Speaker 1: There of my kids playing basketball and football, and like
Speaker 1: how many parents have videos of their kids playing sports
Speaker 1: and it's like, you know, they dribbled the ball out
Speaker 1: of bounds. You know what I'm saying, It's like, yes,
Speaker 1: delete that, right. So I'm going through all that. I'm
Speaker 1: going through all the ones where it was like, okay
Speaker 1: that that was pointless. Okay, because when you're like filming
Speaker 1: your kids playing sports, you like record the video and
Speaker 1: then you stop and then instead of deleting right away,
Speaker 1: like you just accumulate all this stuff. So now I
Speaker 1: have I've got space on my phone. You do, I do,
Speaker 1: And I'm still going so, oh, I'm in year. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you where I left off at because I
Speaker 1: need to get I dropped my phone on vacation. I
Speaker 1: think I need to get a new one. Really yeah,
Speaker 1: And plus that body makes fun of me because I
Speaker 1: only have to, um, you have a ten. You have
Speaker 1: a phone ten? Yes, and listen, don't Robin Dixon is
Speaker 1: a hater, okay, because if you don't have an current
Speaker 1: iPhone because she always has a current one. I don't have.
Speaker 1: Did she lets you know? Well, no, if you have
Speaker 1: an old ass one, I'll let you know. I have
Speaker 1: a twelve. I don't have a thirteen. You know it's
Speaker 1: thirteen out now, thirteen out now? Okay, Um, yeah, I
Speaker 1: have a twelve, but you got an old ass one.
Speaker 1: If you have an old ass one, you're gonna let
Speaker 1: you know. Like my mother, My mother must have a six.
Speaker 1: She has one camera. Oh my gosh, yes, probably listen.
Speaker 1: Ain't nothing wrong with a six. It still works. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to remember what year I think I've have paused
Speaker 1: at two thousand. Yeah, so I still got like three
Speaker 1: years pictures to delete. Okay, guys, this is this is
Speaker 1: follow up Monday. Oh yes, this is follow up Monday. Okay.
Speaker 1: So a lot of times we talked about stuff and
Speaker 1: then we ask y'all to comment on whatever it is
Speaker 1: we talked about, or y'all just comment because y'all want
Speaker 1: to talk to us, And so we're going we're now
Speaker 1: following up on some of the things that we have discussed. Okay, So, well,
Speaker 1: a little while ago, we were giving advice to a
Speaker 1: teacher who was an administrator, but now they're not an
Speaker 1: administrator and she wants to like hang out with her
Speaker 1: teacher friends because she's now a teacher, she's not an administrator,
Speaker 1: and the teacher friends and giving her no love, so
Speaker 1: or she just feels awkward because she's like, I went
Speaker 1: from being an administrator to a teacher, and it feels
Speaker 1: awkward because they look at her, you know, as an
Speaker 1: administrator role. So we got some feedback from Stephanie. I
Speaker 1: won't give you a last name. Thank you Stephanie for
Speaker 1: um writing us and you say to me and Robin,
Speaker 1: you say hello, Robin and Giselle. I'm such a fan
Speaker 1: of both of the both of you, the podcast and
Speaker 1: our h op. In response to the advice that you
Speaker 1: gave to a former administrator, as a teacher that's been
Speaker 1: in the teaching game for a while, I can say
Speaker 1: that your advice was spot on. Go robb it okay.
Speaker 1: There has always been a divide between teachers and administration,
Speaker 1: and having the former administrator be the one to not
Speaker 1: only plan a happy hour, but to be straight up
Speaker 1: about her reasoning behind it will hopefully help teachers see
Speaker 1: her in a different light or at least respect her.
Speaker 1: On some level, because let me tell you, if my
Speaker 1: current administrator all of a sudden became a former one
Speaker 1: and sent out a happy hour email, I'd be like, girl,
Speaker 1: buys um, you were never an allied to us as
Speaker 1: an administrator, but now you're trying to do that. Good
Speaker 1: luck on your friendship endeavors. I say this is because
Speaker 1: one of my current administrators is so far removed from
Speaker 1: the classroom and is one of those persons who will
Speaker 1: put up her hand when she doesn't want to listen
Speaker 1: to someone speak anymore. That's rue, that's really, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: And to top it off, she is not liked by
Speaker 1: about the staff. Anyway, y'all offered great advice by putting
Speaker 1: the responsibility on the former administrator and letting people make
Speaker 1: their choice. I look forward to the next episode. So
Speaker 1: thank you Stephanie for letting us know that we we
Speaker 1: all hate giving some good advice. Were good. I'm happy
Speaker 1: to know that, yes, we told we we said, okay
Speaker 1: as the former administrator, And if you want to invite
Speaker 1: people around, tell them you know, hey, listen. I know
Speaker 1: I was in this position, but I'd like to get
Speaker 1: to know you better. Blah blah blah, blah whatever. Yes,
Speaker 1: and you set up the happy hour and invite people. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: up front about your feelings about it. I love that. Yes.
Speaker 1: Oh good. So yes, you did something right and listen
Speaker 1: so I got some more feedback. I continue to give,
Speaker 1: you know, say right thing and give good advice? Do
Speaker 1: I give because advice Robin you do sometimes sometimes, But
Speaker 1: on this this one, this was on me so um
Speaker 1: and I got multiple like d m s and emails
Speaker 1: about this. I'm just going to read one of them.
Speaker 1: So this subject is over email etiquette. This is from Shannon.
Speaker 1: She says, Hi, ladies, I recently listen to your Shady
Speaker 1: Girl Summer podcast episode, and I must say I totally
Speaker 1: agree with Robin. Sorry, Jase. Okay, wait a minute, let
Speaker 1: me just stop you right here. I don't think email
Speaker 1: is where you show your personality. It's not about personality.
Speaker 1: She's about being courteous. Okay, continue on. We're going to continue.
Speaker 1: We're going to continue, Yes, continue on. I am a
Speaker 1: reading specialist, and I actually teach my middle school students
Speaker 1: a lesson on email etiquette since the pandemic started and
Speaker 1: we were all learning virtually and at the time, the
Speaker 1: only way for the students to communicate with me was email,
Speaker 1: and their email messages were horrible. I always told my
Speaker 1: students that they write like they talk, and there's a
Speaker 1: difference between informal and formal language. For instance, the way
Speaker 1: you communicate with your friends and emily is different from
Speaker 1: the way you communicate with your teacher. Anyway, I had
Speaker 1: an entire lesson on email etiquette. How to send the
Speaker 1: proper email message, A subject line, a greeting, the body
Speaker 1: of the message that must include why you were sending
Speaker 1: the message and any other important information, a closing, and
Speaker 1: your name. That's a lot, it is not. That is
Speaker 1: a lot. You gotta give a greeting. You gotta give
Speaker 1: a subject, Then you gotta give a greeting. Then you
Speaker 1: gotta like talk about what you want to talk about.
Speaker 1: You got to say goodbye and thank you very much.
Speaker 1: If we're debating this, I mean, I just feel I
Speaker 1: cannot so, Robin, I agree with you. People need to
Speaker 1: learn email letter writing etiquette, but sadly it's not required
Speaker 1: as a teaching standard any longer. Sincerely, a frustrated educator. Shannon.
Speaker 1: I also heard from a law professor who was like, yes, Robin,
Speaker 1: Like She's like, I'm gonna play this for my students,
Speaker 1: because her law students will literally like send her an
Speaker 1: email and just be like, here's my paper, and like
Speaker 1: that's it, you know what I'm saying, Like, and she's
Speaker 1: just like, Okay, that's rude. It's rude, and it's like, no,
Speaker 1: give me your you know, okay, but this, this is hello, Okay,
Speaker 1: this is what I think you're looking for in that
Speaker 1: In that scenario, I think you're looking for. Hey, law professor,
Speaker 1: how are you hope you had a great now? How
Speaker 1: are you? Nope? Not a Hey, law professor, hope you
Speaker 1: had a great weekend. I hope you're feeling great about life.
Speaker 1: Here is my paper. I hope that you like it. Um,
Speaker 1: I would really hard on and I hope I get
Speaker 1: an a. Sincerely, Giselle. No, I'm not asking for all that,
Speaker 1: but that's what this conversation feels like. It doesn't, No,
Speaker 1: it doesn't. It should be okay, so what should it
Speaker 1: be doing this? It can be Hi, I'm I am
Speaker 1: submitting my paper, you know, in accordance to the to
Speaker 1: the whatever was it called hands syllabus? Okay, syllabus. Thank
Speaker 1: you in advance for your time. Sincerely, Bob, why couldn't
Speaker 1: it be robbing okay or you know, hi, professor whatever. Okay,
Speaker 1: but if it was Giselle handing in her paper, it'd
Speaker 1: be like, hi, um law professor, see okay. My issue
Speaker 1: was that the person don't say hi, they don't say please,
Speaker 1: they don't say things. Okay, but wait, wait, let me
Speaker 1: tell you what I would say, Hi, Professor so and
Speaker 1: so attached to my paper. Okay, Giselle, thank you sincerely,
Speaker 1: best best wishes. Probably probably not. It's the paper you
Speaker 1: asked for, the paper, I'm submitting the paper. Okay, what
Speaker 1: at least you said hi. I would say hi, because
Speaker 1: many times you don't say hi. Okay, So you have
Speaker 1: schooled me. So I'm trying to be better. Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: trying to be a better person. I'm just saying, like
Speaker 1: if like my kids, if they if they were to
Speaker 1: write like that to their teachers and not say hi,
Speaker 1: miss so and so, if they're just like, um, my
Speaker 1: dog ate my homework, you know, say whatever, Like no,
Speaker 1: that's not okay, Like I'm not letting my kids get
Speaker 1: away with that. Okay, okay, very good and okay. And
Speaker 1: on the flip side, if someone you know, I have
Speaker 1: people reach out and say, oh, I'm interested in uh,
Speaker 1: you know, do you have any jobs and internships something.
Speaker 1: If they're emailing me and they don't say hi, Like,
Speaker 1: if their first word is not hello or dear or
Speaker 1: hi or greetings, I'm not reading it. I'm not like
Speaker 1: you're you were not being considered. Okay. But this is
Speaker 1: what the other side of that looks like. I get
Speaker 1: the same d M s or emails about being an
Speaker 1: intern or whatever, and they're like twelve paragraphs long. They've
Speaker 1: given me backstory on how they grew up and their
Speaker 1: mother and where they came from. It are you freaking
Speaker 1: kidding me? And guess what if they don't say hi, Hello,
Speaker 1: I don't want it. I don't want your backstory. If
Speaker 1: they can't start with a hello, it's not it's not
Speaker 1: going down, okay. So, so Carly has just pulled up
Speaker 1: an email that I have sent her just to try
Speaker 1: to prove for a point that I am rude, and
Speaker 1: it says, um, I needed some balloons for this event,
Speaker 1: so I said, I said, hi, Antoinette, which was going
Speaker 1: to be the balloon girl. Carly is my assistant, and
Speaker 1: I would like to see pricing for a balloon reef
Speaker 1: for a small gathering. Thanks, just all, Brian, Do I
Speaker 1: need to get more than that? Oh? This is fine,
Speaker 1: that's fine. You said hi, oh, I said, Hi said
Speaker 1: thanks and you and you wrote your name. Okay, so
Speaker 1: I'm doing better. That's fine. Okay. Just be consistent, being consistent. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, I just didn't get straight to the point. Okay,
Speaker 1: just be consistent. Okay, I will do. And especially for
Speaker 1: a person, you know, if it's a student, if it's
Speaker 1: someone who's seeking a job, I mean, in a in
Speaker 1: a professional setting, always start with a hello, Hi, thank you,
Speaker 1: in a in a you know, closing all that please,
Speaker 1: thank you? Like it goes a long way, It does,
Speaker 1: it does, it goes along. But if I ever got
Speaker 1: an email that was just like straight to the point,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be offended. We're yeah, but don't do it though,
Speaker 1: because Robin's gonna get mad. So just everybody change your
Speaker 1: way because Robin is the email police. Hey, all right,
Speaker 1: we have got to go, We have got to get
Speaker 1: out of here. This is our episode. If you live
Speaker 1: your life, please don't ever forget to live it. Reasonably
