Speaker 2: While I eat. Then those freaking kids in my car, Like,
Speaker 2: can you help me open my ketchup packet? I can't
Speaker 2: open it? Okay, First of all, in the car, you're
Speaker 2: allowing your kids to open up ketchup packets. Well I
Speaker 2: have to do it for them, okay, Or you tell
Speaker 2: them that they cannot eat their fries right now. Well,
Speaker 2: they're not like two, so they're not gonna like, they're
Speaker 2: not gonna spell. No, Okay, you're not gonna. But who
Speaker 2: puts ketchup on fry by fry? No?
Speaker 1: No, you just need it on the whole pack. No,

Speaker 1: off where you squeeze, right, take one fry and squeeze
Speaker 1: touch up on the one fry.
Speaker 2: Listen, listen, listen, because driving I'm not gonna dip it.
Speaker 2: While the shady part is that you can't get the
Speaker 2: packet open, No, the shady part is you're doing the most. Okay,
Speaker 2: you're doing the most.
Speaker 1: The shady part is these freaking packets are so hard
Speaker 1: to open.
Speaker 2: Okay. Why Okay, Well they're impossible get the chick filate.
Speaker 1: They're literally gonna like give me arthritis and carpal tunnels.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to open up. No, that's your iPhone. Okay,
Speaker 2: that pick ass iPhone you have. I still have the
Speaker 2: mini guys do that is so little? Oh it's so
Speaker 2: sweet and is huge. Okay. My reasonably shady moment is
Speaker 2: also dealing with food. Get out, yeah, okay, So here lately,
Speaker 2: I you know, of course, I always go out to
Speaker 2: eat with my kids, and we've been on an almo
Speaker 2: kazi amakazi oma coz however you pronounce the word. We've
Speaker 2: been on a teary Okay. So you know what amakazi is.
Speaker 2: You talked about it a couple of podcasts. Okay. So
Speaker 2: it's like it's like if it's if it says that
Speaker 2: on the menu, it's probably expensive, which shouldn't be. And
Speaker 2: the the person who makes your food picks what you
Speaker 2: eat right like there's no menu so to speak.
Speaker 1: It's like they're picking for you because they say tasting
Speaker 1: menu shift China kind.
Speaker 2: Of, and they're saying that they know what's fresh and
Speaker 2: what they're going to put together and what they have
Speaker 2: in their kitchen and bl okay okay. Cheris is a
Speaker 2: big fan of this as well, yes, we love cherise,
Speaker 2: so yeah, the past two places that we've gone because
Speaker 2: we're trying them in every sushi spot that we go to. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they suck okay, and don't bring sea urchin to me?
Speaker 2: Do y'all know what that is? Ew angel? It is
Speaker 2: still traumatized by sea urchin? Okay, what exactly is it?
Speaker 2: I don't the definition. I don't know, but it sounds gross.
Speaker 2: It smells bad, okay, like it has like a funk
Speaker 2: to it, and I don't want it anywhere near me.
Speaker 1: Ew yeah, that sounds gross. I don't like eel either, though.
Speaker 2: All I love Eel, you do, yes, Eel is everything
Speaker 2: I don't know el. Okay. So I've decided that I'm
Speaker 2: going back to regular roles and picking my food. Like why,
Speaker 2: I don't want you picking for me no more?
Speaker 1: Oh? Okay, so you wouldn't go back to the places
Speaker 1: that you enjoyed, I'm gonna go back to it, or
Speaker 1: like what if they picked something like every time they
Speaker 1: pick something different?
Speaker 2: Now I want to pick my own. I want to
Speaker 2: be back in control of my food. Yes, I'm giving up. Okay,
Speaker 2: I don't want y'all picking my food no more. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna pick my own dam food. So am Kazi is shady?
Speaker 1: Okay, that's shady, Yes, all right, I mean it is.
Speaker 1: But you you know you know what you're walking into,
Speaker 1: do you. Yeah, if you're giving them free rein to
Speaker 1: like pick your food, I'm.
Speaker 2: Thinking I need to trust you and be able to
Speaker 2: trust that you're picking the best for me. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think anytime you're dealing with that type of cuisine, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't know what you're gonna get.
Speaker 2: You do not know? Okay, So gg know that b
Speaker 2: E T is up for sale? Yes? Can we talk
Speaker 2: about this? Yes? Because the people that are talking talks
Speaker 2: to purchase it. Shaquille o'neo fifty cent h somebody else
Speaker 2: Tyler Perry No not okay, Tyler is separate, Tyler.
Speaker 1: Ah, you're talking about they're in a group together, Shaq
Speaker 1: fifty and and somebody else are in a group together
Speaker 1: for to buy BT and then Tyler Perry wants to
Speaker 1: buy it.
Speaker 2: I heard Tyler Perry's buying it. Oh, oh Kenya Kenya
Speaker 2: verse ken ken you verse okay, which I like, by
Speaker 2: the way, so that they're they're together, Yeah, those three
Speaker 2: Shaquille fifty kenya I saw him at a party in
Speaker 2: Martha's Vineyard and I was gonna speak to him, but
Speaker 2: he didn't look my way. And he actually was two
Speaker 2: inches from me, so guess he didn't want to talk
Speaker 2: to me. But whatever, Okay, and then Tyler is separate. Okay,
Speaker 2: So what do we think, like, who do we want
Speaker 2: to buy BT? Yes? Who do we think would make
Speaker 2: be et oh something that we want to who would
Speaker 2: who would who would take it?
Speaker 1: Elevate it, take it to the next level? Yes, because
Speaker 1: remember back in the day, BET was like it's oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, every everything was it?
Speaker 2: BT? MTV like shut down, didn't it? Yeah, Well MTV
Speaker 2: doesn't get MTV is vh one?
Speaker 1: Well oh no, they're the same company, Viacom.
Speaker 2: Viacom bought well Viacom also owns BT. Do that? Yes?
Speaker 2: Oh wow? Okay, So anyway, I think that if it's
Speaker 2: Shaquille and fifty so we could get a little power,
Speaker 2: a little Basketball hour, and a little blackish mm hmm
Speaker 2: okay with that combo. Okay. But Tyler was just getting
Speaker 2: the DS right. Yes, So, yes, Tyler does have most
Speaker 2: of the most of them, not all of them, because
Speaker 2: I know that Tracy Edmonds does a lot of stuff
Speaker 2: for BT. Okay, yes, so.
Speaker 1: We would have a little more diverse offering with the Shack,
Speaker 1: can you verus?
Speaker 2: Yeah, fifty right ownership group. I'm thinking maybe.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I'm kind of like, okay, like, first of all,
Speaker 1: what Tyler Perry has done is just phenomenal and amazing,
Speaker 1: like of course him from ground up.
Speaker 2: Yeah awesome, But yeah, like do we want more of
Speaker 2: the same? Really? I don't. I just need some creative
Speaker 2: minds to like put programming on there that's gonna be
Speaker 2: like something that people like really really want to see, right,
Speaker 2: I mean, isn't it amazing though?
Speaker 1: How beauty literally went from like music videos pretty much
Speaker 1: music based to now it's just like it's it's what
Speaker 1: sitcoms and series and drama and do they people still
Speaker 1: make music videos?
Speaker 2: Are they? Are they out?
Speaker 1: I believe they put them on like YouTube. Okay, Like
Speaker 1: if you go to YouTube and I don't know, find
Speaker 1: some rapper or Justin Bieber and look up like their
Speaker 1: music videos, they.
Speaker 2: Have like billions abuse It's crazy. Okay, Yeah, Okay, I
Speaker 2: love that. I don't know, but I'm excited that, you know,
Speaker 2: this might be like a step in the right direction.
Speaker 2: So you're for the Shack group. I'm yeah, I think
Speaker 2: I feel like, well, I want to say Shaquille and well,
Speaker 2: fifty does have work on television. Stuff on television, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean? Like fifty fifteen in the business
Speaker 2: and he's done great. Like Power was great. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: haven't watched any of the other shows, but like Power,
Speaker 2: I'll give a power. Power was great.
Speaker 1: I don't know, you don't watch the other Powers. You
Speaker 1: just watched the one, the original one, Yes, the original one.
Speaker 1: I'm so surprised by you because you watched like everything.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 1: I told y'all why. And I don't want to say
Speaker 1: we watching. Are we talking about Jerry Duty?
Speaker 2: We are? We are? Before we talk about that. I
Speaker 2: do want to say one thing about Jim Carrey just
Speaker 2: ties into the whole bet thing.
Speaker 1: You know what, I'm gonna pause. I'm sorry they need
Speaker 1: to add a female in the mix, but keep going.
Speaker 2: Oh, you're right, yes.
Speaker 1: Robin Dixon, h because you could give them a female's perspective.
Speaker 2: Yes, And yeah, because a lot of times, because we're
Speaker 2: the viewers. Really hello, yes, unless it's like sports related,
Speaker 2: what do the guys really watch? And because you know,
Speaker 2: you know, people always tell us or guys always tell
Speaker 2: us that they watch Potomac because there because they're why yeah,
Speaker 2: or their girlfriends. Yeah, really they watch. You know, they
Speaker 2: got to blame it on somebody. So, yes, they need
Speaker 2: a female in there. You're absolutely right, you know what,
Speaker 2: Jim Carrey, Yeah, Tyler should hook up with a woman. True, Yes,
Speaker 2: I like that. I recommend Angela Bassett. Really know why
Speaker 2: did y'all both like give me stakface? I don't know?
Speaker 1: Okay, that would have been like the first time that
Speaker 1: you think of Okaya Ray, Okay, I like that, you
Speaker 1: like that? Yeah, So Tyler, it's more I think for me,
Speaker 1: it's more of like an age thing. I think you
Speaker 1: want to have someone like Issa, who is who's younger
Speaker 1: than Angela that can bring maybe fresher ideas.
Speaker 2: I was just feeling like Angela's been the business so long.
Speaker 2: I feel like she knows what would work well. Add
Speaker 2: both of them. Okay, no, let's just add Lisa. Okay.
Speaker 2: So Jim Carrey, which I appreciate, I read this and
Speaker 2: I totally like, was like, I so appreciate the fact
Speaker 2: that now he's saying it, because you know, Jim Carrey
Speaker 2: had a huge career and people really didn't know where
Speaker 2: he came from. We knew where he came from, but
Speaker 2: people said low kaylor right. So he said, and this
Speaker 2: is a.
Speaker 3: Quote, brilliant black minds gave me a shot in Hollywood
Speaker 3: when none of the white guys thought I could connect
Speaker 3: or be a leading man. I got my first starring
Speaker 3: role in ace Ventura because of In Living Color. Hashtag
Speaker 3: forever grateful.
Speaker 2: So I love the fact that he is like publicly
Speaker 2: saying like white folks didn't give him.
Speaker 1: A chance, right, given credit where credit is due, Yes, yep,
Speaker 1: And I forget that and we owe that to them
Speaker 1: all the way from it. And think about all of
Speaker 1: the people like Jennifer Lopez started her career on In
Speaker 1: Living Color as a dancer Rosie Perez, Yes, yes, and
Speaker 1: because she was a choreographer, yes, yeah, Like in Leving
Speaker 1: Color was important. Wait, met, there's so many shows that
Speaker 1: like I hate to be those people, like the old
Speaker 1: people who reminisce about back in my days. The music
Speaker 1: was good and the talent was good.
Speaker 2: But like I really feel that way.
Speaker 1: Like you think about all the TV shows that like
Speaker 1: were on when we were on, you know, from the
Speaker 1: cos we showed a Different World and Martin and Living Color,
Speaker 1: and we're just missing so much of that now, right,
Speaker 1: Like you know what, I watch Martin now and I
Speaker 1: don't think it's funny, But it was ridiculously funny back then, right, right,
Speaker 1: because you've seen it not as funny because you've seen
Speaker 1: it like over and over and over again. You've seen
Speaker 1: every episode and it's just yeah, it's just old now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I still love if I watch what's the
Speaker 2: one with Whitley and Dwayne a different different If I
Speaker 2: watch Different Role now, it's amazing. You're still still yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 2: So I don't know something happened there anyway. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, the one movie that I can watch that
Speaker 1: is still hilarious is coming to America for me.
Speaker 2: Yes, Okay, but we didn't talk about this, and this
Speaker 2: was kind of a while ago. But do you remember
Speaker 2: when Prince Charles was his coronation and they put Harry
Speaker 2: in like the twelfth row? Okay, fine, the third right,
Speaker 2: But what we did talk about was the penis that
Speaker 2: was drawn into the field before the coronation. Wait, what
Speaker 2: there was a penis somebody in the middle of the night.
Speaker 2: So there's a field I think near where the coronation
Speaker 2: was happening, like on the on the outskirts of like
Speaker 2: the stands, and someone drew a penis.
Speaker 1: They didn't they talked about it for like five seconds
Speaker 1: on the news because they didn't want because the Brits.
Speaker 2: Called him and was like, don't talk about it, don't
Speaker 2: talk about it. But they drew a freaking penis.
Speaker 1: That ship is so funny, hilarious, go to our stories.
Speaker 1: Carl's gonna put it on our stories. It's funny.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, like can you imagine?
Speaker 1: No, but that is genius, like you know, you know,
Speaker 1: you're like the you know, planning, You're like the biggest event, Yes,
Speaker 1: years and in centuries is happening.
Speaker 2: Yes, what can we do? Draw a penis? Hilarious?
Speaker 1: Okay, So that if they were to catch up people
Speaker 1: with the charge them with the crime.
Speaker 2: What is a crime. You defaced the grass? Well, no,
Speaker 2: you deface the grass government property. Oh yes, So and
Speaker 2: it's a huge penis, yes, a small one and it's
Speaker 2: like a nice shaped penis. Okay, we gotta talk about
Speaker 2: Jerry Duty. Yes, okay, heck did you watch it? I
Speaker 2: watched it, Okay, Carter and I watched it together. Oh
Speaker 2: that's perfect. Yes, okay, we were cracking up. There's a
Speaker 2: show on Prime, I think the crime Yeah that's it's
Speaker 2: called Jerry Duty. Did you have commercials when you were watching?
Speaker 2: I can't remember. Okay, I can't mind hard commercials. Okay. Well,
Speaker 2: you know Prime gotta make that money. Yeah. I didn't
Speaker 2: really realize that. Okay. So the one hundred dollars I
Speaker 2: pay them every year for my Prime, it's not in
Speaker 2: your in your bundle, in your package. Yeah I thought
Speaker 2: that included it. But I had commercials while I was
Speaker 2: watching Jury Duty. Okay, I'm sorry, Robin. We'll get Carly
Speaker 2: on that, okay, okay, all right. So it is a
Speaker 2: reality show, yes? Is it docuseries? Is kind of a
Speaker 2: little bit. Yes, there's a twist at the end. I
Speaker 2: don't want to give it away.
Speaker 1: Well, well we can give away what the preview gives away.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right.
Speaker 1: So so it's a documentary following a jury trial. Yes, okay,
Speaker 1: that's however, everyone involved in this trial is an actor
Speaker 1: except for one juror. Yes, so he thinks that he's
Speaker 1: participating in a documentary on his jury duty experience of
Speaker 1: a real trial, of a real trial, as he thinks
Speaker 1: the rest of the jurors are doing as well, but
Speaker 1: what he doesn't know is that the trial is faith.
Speaker 1: The lawyers are fake, the judge's fake, the you know,
Speaker 1: everybody is an actor except for him, right, And it
Speaker 1: was so just watching that and knowing that and seeing
Speaker 1: how he just interacted and the oh my god, and
Speaker 1: the things and then the people were so kooky and like,
Speaker 1: you know, just the things that he had to experience
Speaker 1: so good. It was just so funny and lighthearted. But
Speaker 1: it was just it was it was funny.
Speaker 2: I mean, how long does this normally take?
Speaker 1: Every music?
Speaker 2: You're at number fifty four? Me ready, guys, here we go.
Speaker 2: This is the most unorthodox trial that I resided with.
Speaker 2: It just literally feels like reality TV.
Speaker 1: Oh so, y'all watched this because it's just one of those.
Speaker 2: It was like six episodes. Yeah, it's easy. It's like
Speaker 2: probably thirty minutes. And then there's a twist at the end,
Speaker 2: so you gotta watch it to the end. What is
Speaker 2: the twist? Oh, you have to tell me after her? Yes, okay.
Speaker 2: So that led me to do some thinking.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, and in my thinking, I have convinced myself
Speaker 1: that I have been in a similar experience for the
Speaker 1: past almost eight years now.
Speaker 2: On the size of Potoma. Yes, and that I'm the
Speaker 2: only one that thinks this is actually real, and that
Speaker 2: all of you are acting. That's not true for all
Speaker 2: of you, all of the cast, the producers, the you know,
Speaker 2: the the aps and the pas and thes, so not true.
Speaker 1: I have convinced myself, the Andy Cohen, all of it,
Speaker 1: the damn zecs at Bravo. They're all acting and I'm
Speaker 1: the only one that's not in on the joke. Okay,
Speaker 1: I've convinced myself. I want you to know, at Robin,
Speaker 1: that's not true.
Speaker 2: Okay, is this shit is?
Speaker 1: And everything that you've show on the show, especially like
Speaker 1: your life here lately, which has been very traumatic, has
Speaker 1: been real.
Speaker 2: I'm here to tell you. But everybody's acting around me.
Speaker 2: I'm convinced. I'm so convinced. I'm so convinced.
Speaker 1: Because I can tell you like Karen is officially crazy.
Speaker 1: I'm convinced that's an actor. I am convinced that is
Speaker 1: an actor now. But I mean, but wait, I can say, yeah,
Speaker 1: my other thought about Jerry Duty when I was watching it,
Speaker 1: I'm like, these actors are so freaking good.
Speaker 2: They're so good? Are they not laughing? They're so good?
Speaker 2: I mean when I tell you they're so have you
Speaker 2: seen it, Carly, They're so good, and they're all they're
Speaker 2: all so believable. Yes, because that's what you see when
Speaker 2: you if you ever have jury duty and you go
Speaker 2: into the jury people, it's so random and you're like,
Speaker 2: these people are strange, yes.
Speaker 1: And you're praying to God you don't get picked. And
Speaker 1: how about the celebrity That was the funniest thing ever.
Speaker 2: And then what I I appreciated, which I'm sure you
Speaker 2: appreciate it is like when it was over and they
Speaker 2: showed like the producers and all that they had to
Speaker 2: go through to make it work, and like the different scenario.
Speaker 2: You never knew how the guy that didn't know that
Speaker 2: it was acting was going to react. Yeah, so they
Speaker 2: had to have like twelve different scenarios for how he
Speaker 2: was going to react, which is like a producer's nightmare
Speaker 2: and dream at the same time. So it was it
Speaker 2: was very well done. It was really cool.
Speaker 1: I do not know how those people kept their faces
Speaker 1: straight because that shit was funny. So yeah, anyway, my
Speaker 1: favorite was my favorite was the lady with the dreads.
Speaker 2: Okay, favorite, two favorites, the secure, the police officer, Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: that's they're not called the police officer. The bailiff, Yes,
Speaker 2: the bailiff. Bailiff freaking hilarious. Yes, he was good.
Speaker 1: And then the girl with the light eyes. I can't
Speaker 1: remember her name. I wish the black lady.
Speaker 2: That's yeah, it's freaking funny because her reactions are how
Speaker 2: how black women were? Yes, like, boy, get out of here.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it's so good. Okay, it's a reality show.
Speaker 2: It's a reality show. But yeah it's good. So y'all
Speaker 2: check it out as a matter of fact, let us
Speaker 2: know what y'all think, because it's very funny, so funny. Now,
Speaker 2: did you see Queen Charlotte? No, when are you gonna
Speaker 2: watch that?
Speaker 3: Why?
Speaker 1: Don't need to watch it? That's like the Bridgerton thing. Yes,
Speaker 1: I never watched Bridgeton. I never like those period pieces.
Speaker 2: Just I can't get to okay, but okay, just very
Speaker 2: very quickly on it. Okay, So Queen Charlotte is part
Speaker 2: of Bridgerton. It's on Netflix, and she is the black
Speaker 2: queen that married George. And they called it they knew
Speaker 2: first of all, they brought her over from from Russia,
Speaker 2: I think or Germany somewhere, and they needed to get
Speaker 2: him married right, and they called the fact that she
Speaker 2: was black. First of all, they were rubbing her skin
Speaker 2: because they were like, can we rub it off? And
Speaker 2: I was like, eh, what I was like? But they
Speaker 2: showed that, which for me was like, wow, that shit
Speaker 2: really happened. I'm sure, yes, And then they called it
Speaker 2: the Great Experiment. It was an experiment to be nice
Speaker 2: to black people and to invite them to the the
Speaker 2: not the palace, but the court, and to make them
Speaker 2: a part of the queen's court. Insanity. But it was amazing,
Speaker 2: how you know, because this is Shonda Rhimes, how she
Speaker 2: incorporated it in the whole story and how it was
Speaker 2: talked about, like I loved it. That's interesting. Yes. And
Speaker 2: the guy that was wat yeah, the guy that was
Speaker 2: over hair and makeup. You know, he's won awards his
Speaker 2: last time is Avon and he passed away I think
Speaker 2: when they were starting Queen Charlotte. Oh wowky, but he's
Speaker 2: won awards and he was amazing. But in their their
Speaker 2: hair situation is on a whole other level. Yes, So
Speaker 2: whoever picked it up after he you know passed away
Speaker 2: did a phenomenal time.
Speaker 1: Great, so I don't have to have been up on
Speaker 1: Bridgerton to watch Queen Charlotte. Okay, there was another show.

Speaker 1: need to see the clips. Yes, and maybe that will
Speaker 1: bring me some like nostalgia and make me, you know,
Speaker 1: think about the significance.

Speaker 1: Anytime young black girls can see themselves and feel represented,
Speaker 1: that's yes, that's beautiful because we did not have that

Speaker 2: which I like. I didn't understand the whole feathers of
Speaker 2: it all. There was everybody had on a bunch of feathers,
Speaker 2: did they? I didn't understand. And I love Rihanna. I
Speaker 2: don't understand.

Speaker 2: in your way later in life, later in life and
Speaker 2: your health might be deteriorating, So are you really enjoying
Speaker 2: those eleven years?

Speaker 2: that you can yourself when you're older, and it's so
Speaker 2: expensive secure. I mean, but I want to encourage everybody
Speaker 2: to call in sick tomorrow, just calling sick and just
Speaker 2: just enjoy your day, you know what, Okay, and if
Speaker 2: you take yourselves advice, let us know. We want to
Speaker 2: see how many people let us know that they called

Speaker 2: to enjoy it. Yeah, something, you know, get a massage.
Speaker 2: If it's raining outside, go running the rain. Don't worry
Speaker 2: about your weave, just go running it in the race. Okay. Yeah,
Speaker 2: now you're talking crazy. Now you're getting deep. If it's sunny,
Speaker 2: enjoy the sunshine, like, let the sunshine hit your face. Yes, no,
Speaker 2: but you're all right.
Speaker 1: I mean it's like, why you don't even know that
Speaker 1: you're going to be able to enjoy your retirement, your
Speaker 1: life and your retirement age. So yes, we have to
Speaker 1: do more to enjoy today. Yes, and I know you
Speaker 1: do a good job of doing that.
Speaker 2: I do. I kind of live my life. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm going to keep doing that. Yes. Okay. So Robin,
Speaker 2: I want to get to know you better ooh ooh.
Speaker 2: And I know you want to get to know me better.
Speaker 1: Yes, and you know the peoples want to get yes
Speaker 1: to know us better?
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Robin. So what makes you unique? What makes Robin different?
Speaker 2: I could tell you fifty I'm gonna answer this for you.
Speaker 2: Let's start with you wake up in the morning and
Speaker 2: drink some coffee and go to the bathroom. Okay, if
Speaker 2: you don't, you don't speak to people.
Speaker 1: I mean, gosh, we are all unique. Or what makes
Speaker 1: me unique? I mean, yeah, you tell me.
Speaker 2: Okay, So what makes Robin unique is you do have
Speaker 2: a personality that's very different because one, you're beautiful, and
Speaker 2: so you should be mean and nasty, but you're not. Yes,
Speaker 2: and so you're actually like a breath of fresh and
Speaker 2: you're always look at the positive of everything. That is
Speaker 2: a gift. Yes, not everybody can do that or care
Speaker 2: to do that.
Speaker 1: You are very patient, You deal with more than most.
Speaker 1: You keep a lote bottled up, but you know when
Speaker 1: you're when you're willing and you are ready, you will discuss.
Speaker 2: Don't mess with you in the meantime.
Speaker 1: Okay, Yes, and I think that that that is your gift.
Speaker 2: But you're also very creative. If Robin ever starts a
Speaker 2: sentence with you know, I've been thinking, it's like, oh shit,
Speaker 2: it's going to be something good. It's going to be
Speaker 2: something good. But you just never know what it is
Speaker 2: that you've been thinking, right, But yes, typically it is
Speaker 2: something good. So yeah, and you take your time with
Speaker 2: everything that you do. Yeah, that's I think that that
Speaker 2: makes sure you need I like that assessment.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I agree, and I don't take I think
Speaker 1: the other part I would add is like I'm very goofy.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, of course, and I don't take myself seriously.
Speaker 1: No, you know, and you have a great sense of
Speaker 1: humor which goes a long way.
Speaker 2: Yeah. My father taught me that.
Speaker 1: He always, like when we were, you know, just young,
Speaker 1: he would just like crack jokes on us, like me
Speaker 1: and my brother, ye, just to instill that in us.
Speaker 2: Like to be able to laugh at yourself. Do you
Speaker 2: know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Yes, I like you have to be able to laugh
Speaker 1: at yourself.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So, okay, I want to know who knows? I
Speaker 2: know we're gonna okay, fine, go I'm gonna tell what
Speaker 2: makes me unique? You want to tell or you want
Speaker 2: me to tell? Okay, fine, I'll see it. I'll see
Speaker 2: if you miss anything.
Speaker 1: Okay, go ahead, Okay, So, Gizelle, you know I'm gonna
Speaker 1: I'm scared.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's good, it's good. So Gizelle, you know.
Speaker 1: Yes, of course she's beautiful as well, and people would
Speaker 1: of course look at her and assume that, oh she's beautiful,
Speaker 1: she's mean whatever, she's stuck up, but she is far
Speaker 1: from it. She is one of the funniest people you
Speaker 1: will ever meet, the most quick witted person, and that
Speaker 1: I know. She is a very caring and sensitive friend.
Speaker 2: Yes, people don't know.
Speaker 1: Yes, her exterior is a little different, and I think
Speaker 1: because she is also able to be very straightforward and direct,
Speaker 1: that can be mis perceived. Yes, but it is coming
Speaker 1: from a place of friendship and concern and sensitivity. Of course,
Speaker 1: we know that she's a wonderful mother. But let's stick
Speaker 1: to the uniqueness parts. Yes, Oh, I mean she's very
Speaker 1: talented as well. I am, Yes, okay, I I think like.
Speaker 2: I don't know my talents are talents are not singing
Speaker 2: and dancing? No, but neither are mine. That's true, do
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But your talent is you are entertaining people in some
Speaker 1: form of fashion.
Speaker 2: Yes, you know.
Speaker 1: And the confidences through the room, Oh yes, yes, okay,
Speaker 1: Robin knows me. And when Gazelle wants something done, it's
Speaker 1: you know, she is on it like glue, like very true,
Speaker 1: you know, and she will not let us that makes
Speaker 1: me unique or an asshole like which one is that?
Speaker 2: I think everything combined is what makes you unique.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, you know what I mean. Yeah, I take that, okay.
Speaker 1: And you like to be very active as well. I
Speaker 1: think sometimes it's like you know, like you you see
Speaker 1: a beautiful person and you just assume that they're just like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm just being pampered or whatever.
Speaker 2: But you like to be outdoors and active? Yeah, I do.
Speaker 2: And I like movement, right, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: Like I gotta be moving. Okay. Who knows best? Carter
Speaker 2: or Corey? Mmmm? Carter? Carter knows best. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Then when you say, like when, like what does that
Speaker 1: really mean? Like they know they know better than to
Speaker 1: do certain things or you know what I'm saying, Like
Speaker 1: that's what that's what we're Who.
Speaker 2: Would give you? Okay, who would give you the better advice?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: Okay Carter really yeah?
Speaker 1: Okay, you know it's crazy like my kids are so
Speaker 1: similar but younger. Yeah, I mean both of my kids.
Speaker 1: Like it's so you know, some people have like a
Speaker 1: favorite kid. I don't have a favorite kid.
Speaker 2: Lies right now.
Speaker 1: I know Carter is just a little more like sensitive
Speaker 1: like Corey is my rough child. Carter's like he's definitely
Speaker 1: a more sensitive one, like where he knows, like you know,
Speaker 1: he'll just give you the random, I love you and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. And he's like a little more inquisitive.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Carter knows things about like history and
Speaker 1: geography like even I don't know, it's just crazy. So
Speaker 1: he's a lot more inquisitive. And so he pays attention
Speaker 1: a lot more.
Speaker 2: I like that. Does he read a lot? Not really?
Speaker 1: No, I think his form of like educating is like YouTube,
Speaker 1: Like there's all types of videos, video and stuff on.
Speaker 2: The Byzantine Empire, whatever it might be. Like he's just
Speaker 2: like Carter. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Just the other day, we were watching the Knicks and

Speaker 1: all right.
Speaker 2: I like that. And he's like the youngest child. I
Speaker 2: feel like young the youngest child is always observing. Yes,
Speaker 2: because I feel like a door would give me the
Speaker 2: best advice.
Speaker 1: Mmm.
Speaker 2: Because she's she's the youngest twin or the youngest child,
Speaker 2: and she's always just like observing.
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, I think they observed. They like wait their turn, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, and then they kind of
Speaker 1: linger around.
Speaker 2: Right yeah yeah, So okay, all right, I like that. Okay,
Speaker 2: so I have one more. Wait a minute, because some
Speaker 2: of these I already know the answer to you. What
Speaker 2: is the go ahead? No, God, I have one for you. Okay.

Speaker 2: might have gone to a party and they were both there,
Speaker 2: but I walked in with one. There's more to this story,
Speaker 2: but I can't give it because I'll be giving it
Speaker 2: the people away. So I walked in with one and
Speaker 2: in order for me, and I walked straight into the
Speaker 2: dude like holding hands with the one, and so I
Speaker 2: was like, oh, no, what do you do? So you know,
Speaker 2: I'm like a bad bitch. So I was like, I'll
Speaker 2: just introduce them, and I did, and the one that
Speaker 2: I wasn't holding hands with he He took it on
Speaker 2: the chin. He was like, okay, because he couldn't believe
Speaker 2: right I introduced them. She had the audacity and the nervell,
Speaker 2: the gumption.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I kind of regretted to this day, but because you
Speaker 2: like the other guy. I liked them both. And it
Speaker 2: was probably twenty five years ago. I still regret that, right,
Speaker 2: But he he was because he's never let me live
Speaker 2: it down. Okay, yeah, right, not that I still talk
Speaker 2: to him, but he was. He kind of like chuckled
Speaker 2: and laughed and he was like hey man, and like
Speaker 2: had nodded, like gave him my head nod. Yeah, and

Speaker 2: that would be awkward.
Speaker 1: Yes, gosh, I can't really think anything off the top
Speaker 1: of my head. I'mna have to think on that a
Speaker 1: little bit. Okay, maybe circle back on another podcast.

Speaker 1: wanted my name to be Laura. Oh, which is beyond weird. Yes, okay.

Speaker 2: you told me this. He wanted to name me Sunshine.
Speaker 2: And then he also wanted to name me Teluga, which
Speaker 2: is where he was. Of course, this is so so.
Speaker 2: My mom was born into labor. My dad was in Teluga, Mississippi.

Speaker 2: my name. My mother was like, can you imagine go
Speaker 2: to hell right, I'll be t yeah, I'll be Luka
Speaker 2: right Luki crazy? How crazy? So my mother was like absolutely,
Speaker 2: not absolutely, like she just totally ignored everything he said
Speaker 2: because he came with Sunshine and Teluga. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: So okay, okay, wait a minute. I feel like I
Speaker 2: would have loved for my name to have been Virginia
Speaker 2: and then you can call me Ginger. Oh Ginger. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Do you like that name Ginger. That's the name of

Speaker 1: look at the name Robin, it just seems like pretty really.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't like that name.
Speaker 1: Okay, so whatever, and I'm really Oh, let me tell
Speaker 1: you the reason, the real reason why I got married
Speaker 1: the first time.
Speaker 2: To change your name. I hated my last name Bragg.
Speaker 2: I could not wait. That's why you got married. That's
Speaker 2: why I got married.
Speaker 1: Wow, Okay, I mean, I'm just joking, however, but I
Speaker 1: could not wait to change my last name. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well my last name was Graves, which is also very strange.
Speaker 2: It's deep because it's like you think, like cemetery. So actually,
Speaker 2: you know, Jamal has asked once or twice, when are
Speaker 2: you gonna give me my name back? Yeah? Because never happening. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So let's see what sounds better. Jazelle Graves or
Speaker 1: Jessel Bryant. I mean, I think we're just so used
Speaker 1: to hearing Jasel Brian. I know that that sounds better.
Speaker 1: Robin Bragg or Robin Dixon. I like brag. I'm not
Speaker 1: mad at brag. I just gonna throw brag in the
Speaker 1: trash can. Yah. The kids will be like, oh you
Speaker 1: bragularn Oh, I didn't think about that.
Speaker 2: You're a bragger?
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, okay, oh this is a good.
Speaker 2: This is good. So for the for my kids when
Speaker 2: they're seniors, they get their senior jersey, right.
Speaker 1: Oh I saw a picture, dad, see that on Grace's page.
Speaker 1: Probably so they get to college on it. Okay, No,
Speaker 1: that's a different thing.
Speaker 2: I'll talk about that later. But they they get to
Speaker 2: pick the name for the back of their jersey. The
Speaker 2: jersey says the year that they're going to graduate, So
Speaker 2: Grace's was twenty three. So they wear it every twenty
Speaker 2: third day of the school year and it has like
Speaker 2: their name their nickname on the back, so very cute.
Speaker 2: For instance, my kids were like, if I was still
Speaker 2: Justselle Graves, it'd be the last the thing on the
Speaker 2: back would be graveyard. I told Angel, and the door
Speaker 2: to switch, like Angel would have a door on her
Speaker 2: back and the door would have age. Uh huh, they
Speaker 2: told me. Now they didn't like that, okay, so then
Speaker 2: so then her Jamal said, Angel should have halo on
Speaker 2: her back. Q. Right, thank you. So you know where
Speaker 2: I'm coming with this. What would yours be? Robin?
Speaker 1: Oh, so you could be braggadocious, right, yeah, you go,
Speaker 1: or or conceited bragster, No, conceited, conceited, okay, brag conceded. No.
Speaker 2: Well, but but I wouldn't want to put my name
Speaker 2: in it, Like, yeah, it still need to be a nickname, okay, right,
Speaker 2: I know, Like and if it was Dixon, what would no,
Speaker 2: that's like, no, that doesn't work, So it have to
Speaker 2: be I don't know Robin, all right, So it could
Speaker 2: be something off of Robin So like this, there's a
Speaker 2: girl in their class and her last time is stone,
Speaker 2: So hers this colstone or like ice cream? Oh okay, yes, okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: well braggadocius. There we go. Okay, there we go.
Speaker 1: But then but I would like resent that because I
Speaker 1: don't brag a lot. You don't, but that's why you
Speaker 1: would put it on the back of your jersey. So
Speaker 1: Graces is ge Breezy?
Speaker 2: Okay? Oh that's cute, which I mean it's just stupid. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Like speaking of g Breezy, I mean Chrissy Breezy. Okay, yeah, can.
Speaker 1: We talk about him for a second before we get
Speaker 1: out of here. So him and I should get into
Speaker 1: a fell over the place. Yeah, on his birthday. On
Speaker 1: Chris's birthday at his birthday party, Usher planned okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: so Usher gave him.
Speaker 2: Through him the party. Oh my gosh, okay, okay. So yeah,
Speaker 2: I was confused by that story. You were, I wasn't.
Speaker 2: I was, I was. It was too much.
Speaker 1: The answer to this story is drugs, uh huh, I agree,
Speaker 1: and alcohol?
Speaker 2: I agree? Okay, I agree, good drugs, right and not
Speaker 2: bad drugs. Good drugs. So Tianna Taylor Tianna Tiana Taylor
Speaker 2: was at the party christ Chris got a beef with her. Okay,
Speaker 2: so she shouldn't be at the party. Why is she
Speaker 2: at the party?
Speaker 1: If it's because she was invited by Usher? But I
Speaker 1: think I don't know this for sure. Birthday party christ.
Speaker 2: Or maybe Usher didn't know they had a beef, but
Speaker 2: because they used to be cool, she knows that they
Speaker 2: have a beef.
Speaker 1: Maybe she didn't know it was Chris's birthday party. She
Speaker 1: might just thought it was a party. But she's at
Speaker 1: the party.
Speaker 2: Chris approaches her and probably like, girl, I don't want
Speaker 2: you at my party. Get out. This is what I'm
Speaker 2: thinking he's saying. She Usher steps in to be like, hey, man,
Speaker 2: don't talk to her like that. That's not cool. Chris
Speaker 2: gets mad. I'm not mad at the fact that he
Speaker 2: gets mad. It's his party, right right. So anyway, So
Speaker 2: Chris started to fight there, Okay. Then him and his
Speaker 2: boys leave, Usher comes after them to talk. Usher ends
Speaker 2: up with a bloody nose. Okay. So Chris said he
Speaker 2: did not start the second fight. Okay, he never mentioned
Speaker 2: the first fight because there was two fights. He didn't
Speaker 2: say he ain't start the first fight. He just said,
Speaker 2: I God damn it, I ain't start that second fight.
Speaker 2: So long story short, no more parties, right, everybody stay
Speaker 2: that at home? Because how Usher, do you have a
Speaker 2: bloody nose? How ludicrous is it? The headline?
Speaker 1: Just to hear Chris Brown and Usher were fighting like
Speaker 1: that is just like that was not something that you
Speaker 1: would ever think you would hear.
Speaker 2: No, Like, these two guys are fine and they love
Speaker 2: each other. They love each well. I mean, Usher has
Speaker 2: said a million times how much he loves Chris. Yeah,
Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff. And I don't even I
Speaker 2: don't think Chris hit Usher. I think it was his
Speaker 2: kid people and his people Usher was. The answer is drugs, Yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 1: Good drugs though ain't not wrong good drugs, y'all. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm mad to tell you no, No, I think some
Speaker 1: drugs make people angry.
Speaker 2: Well it might be a combo, yeah, yeah, drugs and
Speaker 2: alcohol might make you angry, yes, yes, but if you
Speaker 2: were in a happy place, yes, you should just stay
Speaker 2: in your happy place. Or if you got pissed. I mean,
Speaker 2: I feel like if somebody's at my party that I
Speaker 2: don't want there, they gotta go. That might piss me off.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that whole story is that part, that's the
Speaker 1: confusing part.
Speaker 2: If they're beefing, why she there? Why is she there?
Speaker 1: And then yeah, that might have because of drugs. That
Speaker 1: would have made him even more angry.
Speaker 2: Right, But what y'all gonna do is leave Chris Brown
Speaker 2: alone because he could dance okay, and he's I mean,
Speaker 2: you know, I feel like he gets a bad rap.
Speaker 2: And yeah, even Lisa Ray, did you hear what she said? No,
Speaker 2: what she said? We love a Lisa Ray. She said
Speaker 2: that Chris is gonna get blamed for any fight based
Speaker 2: off of his past, no matter what. And she has
Speaker 2: been the victim of that. Like people just somebody's getting
Speaker 2: cussed out, they just naturally assume it's Lisa because she's
Speaker 2: a good cusser. But but that you should have to
Speaker 2: be held to your past mistakes, right all for the
Speaker 2: rest of that's true. That's true. Yeah, but that's why
Speaker 2: you shouldn't make mistakes. Well, but we're gonna I'm joking joking,
Speaker 2: because we're all gonna make mistakes. Yes, we call human Yes, yeah,
Speaker 2: I know. And and actually mistakes are good because you
Speaker 2: learn from them exactly.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So that sucks.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure that's frustrating for Chris Brown to
Speaker 1: have to all concer be a reminder that. I think
Speaker 1: I heard him say something like it said, you know
Speaker 1: that happened when they were seventeen or something.
Speaker 2: I didn't realize they were that young. Who with him
Speaker 2: and Ris Brown?
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's like, you know, that's I'm like way past that,
Speaker 1: and for people to keep bringing that up like it's
Speaker 1: enough already. Yes, but but I feel like he's the
Speaker 1: what's the Beyonce line?
Speaker 2: Yeah, the best revenge is your paper. I think that
Speaker 2: should be Chris's motto because he hasn't skipped a beat,
Speaker 2: like all of his records go number one ish, and
Speaker 2: he's been on tour since he that, since that incident happened,
Speaker 2: he's been fine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think that also shows that he's human.
Speaker 1: So it's like, you know, his money, he's not struggling financially,
Speaker 1: his music is still popping or whatever. He's still performing,
Speaker 1: but he still cares about you know what the public
Speaker 1: is saying. He still cares about that perception, right, you know.
Speaker 2: Right, And if he gets into a fight, it's not
Speaker 2: his fault, right, language rugs.
Speaker 1: It is right anyway. That is our episode. Guys, we
