Speaker 1: Welcome to Reasonably Shady, a production of The Black Effect
Speaker 1: Podcast Network and I Heart Radio. Alright, hello, and welcome
Speaker 1: to another episode of Reasonably Shide. My name is Giselle Bryan's.
Speaker 1: Hey everyone, I'm Robin Dixon. Oh my gosh, this is
Speaker 1: episode called Sexy Voice. Just kidding now, I'm just taking
Speaker 1: Thank you for joining us, a kid, thank you, Thank
Speaker 1: you so much for joining us. Thank you for everything
Speaker 1: that you'll do. We are here because of you. We
Speaker 1: are here because indeed, all right, so per usual, we
Speaker 1: have our reasonably shady moments of zoeek Do you want
Speaker 1: me to go first? Yes, you go first? Okay, So
Speaker 1: my reasonably shady moment is courtesy of my hair stylists,
Speaker 1: Shirley Shirley. We love Shirley. I love Shirley. I've been
Speaker 1: more Shureley forever. Um, so you know we recently went
Speaker 1: to l A. It Sureley happened to be in l
Speaker 1: A doing hair for the ebany one hundred event, so
Speaker 1: she needs to be really nice. And by the way,
Speaker 1: ebany one hundred, I wasn't invited and NA that was Robin.
Speaker 1: I know maybe next time, well one eye yeah, so
Speaker 1: does that mean A hundred years or hundred people, a
Speaker 1: hundred hundred people that they're trying to honor, and not
Speaker 1: that you need to honor me, but I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: I've been there. They could have made a D two.
Speaker 1: But anyway, okay, so okay. So Shirley was there and
Speaker 1: she was able to do my hair for the appearance
Speaker 1: on the reel. So we added some pieces to my hair,
Speaker 1: some extensions, and she didn't have like usually you know,
Speaker 1: if I add pieces, it's like a clip on or
Speaker 1: like a tape tab or something. So I don't know.
Speaker 1: She just had like the tracks that she glued onto
Speaker 1: my hair. Right, So she's like, oh, yeah, yeah, you
Speaker 1: know you just when you go home, you take them,
Speaker 1: just rub some olive oil on it and it will
Speaker 1: slip right on out. T I today spent two hours
Speaker 1: getting these tracks out of my hair and this glue
Speaker 1: out of my hair. I looked like my had My
Speaker 1: hair looked like oil flick like and it literally was
Speaker 1: like I mean, she she's literally, oh, it's just gonna
Speaker 1: slide on out. Some of them slid up on out,
Speaker 1: but most of them was like it was just so
Speaker 1: much work. I'm like, my hands are getting my arms
Speaker 1: getting tired. My neck is tired. I'm like rubbing the
Speaker 1: oil in. I'm trying to get it out. And then
Speaker 1: once you and then once you get the hair off,
Speaker 1: the glue is still in the hair. And then you
Speaker 1: gotta get get the glue out and you're trying not
Speaker 1: to pull your real hair, like break your real hair out.
Speaker 1: And then so then my hair is an oil slick
Speaker 1: because I have all this olive all my hair. I
Speaker 1: gotta shampoo it and you know, get all that out,
Speaker 1: and then I'm still pulling out glue us and I'm
Speaker 1: willingly so I know because Cole has done that to me.
Speaker 1: And it was a big fight after that, because like,
Speaker 1: you never want glued down tracks, never no good. But
Speaker 1: they're good because they lay really flat. So that's why
Speaker 1: they use them, you know. Apparently that's all kim Ka uses. Really, Yeah,
Speaker 1: apparently she she keeps hair nice and long and flat
Speaker 1: because she has it glued onto her head. But yes,
Speaker 1: I was like, no, this did not just slide on out.
Speaker 1: It was a whole like literally, it took longer to
Speaker 1: get them out than it took to put them in. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so kim Ka and Shirley or Shady, Yes, yes, both
Speaker 1: of y'all shady, Shirley, Oh okay, so my shady moment
Speaker 1: is okay. So I do have an excesseband. His name
Speaker 1: is Jamal and yeah you heard a femi time or two,
Speaker 1: and so we like to like share what we're watching,
Speaker 1: what we're binging with each other. So he and he's
Speaker 1: like obsessed with it, like if he thinks something is
Speaker 1: really good, like he's gonna call me like every day
Speaker 1: and make sure you watch it. Did you start watching you?
Speaker 1: Did you start watching? What do you think? What do
Speaker 1: you think? Let's talk about it? And so he has
Speaker 1: been on squid Game, right, Okay, So I started watching
Speaker 1: first episode, I was like, this is horrible. But then
Speaker 1: I watched the second episode and I was like, this
Speaker 1: is freaking horrible. I don't like this. But then I
Speaker 1: watched the episode, watched the horrid damn thing. Okay, it
Speaker 1: was a guid game. Y'all are shady because I hated
Speaker 1: it and I didn't want to watch it, but I
Speaker 1: kept I kept watching because you're like, it's got to
Speaker 1: get good at some point because so many people are
Speaker 1: talking about squid games. But isn't it kids, Well, kids
Speaker 1: should not be watching it and Okay, so of course,
Speaker 1: uh squid games on Netflix. I think either seeing in
Speaker 1: or somebody because Jamal just sent me this article. It
Speaker 1: says that kids should not be watching Squid Game because
Speaker 1: it's really it's like violent, it's beyond it like turns
Speaker 1: like the regular kiddie games into and like the killing people.
Speaker 1: If you don't win the game or something, you know,
Speaker 1: you die a horrible death. Okay, and I and I
Speaker 1: don't like to watch stuff like that. It gives me nightmares.
Speaker 1: So I'm telling y'all whoever has not watched Squid Game,
Speaker 1: don't watch it. Sorry, Netflix, it's shady because I just
Speaker 1: kept watching it thinking it's gonna give up. And I
Speaker 1: heard that like the schools are banning Squid Game Halloween uniforms,
Speaker 1: I mean costumes. Um, and my my kids watched it,
Speaker 1: like somehow. My and my kids don't really watch TV
Speaker 1: like that. They played a video game all the time
Speaker 1: or they're you know, outplaying sports, and one day they
Speaker 1: were like, we gotta watch quick Game. We gotta watch
Speaker 1: Quid Game. I'm like, what is that? And so they
Speaker 1: sat on the couch and binge Due and Glory and
Speaker 1: Carter might grow up and be acts murderers, Like it's
Speaker 1: not I'm just kidding. I'm really joking, but like it's
Speaker 1: it really it glorifies dying. So there was nothing good
Speaker 1: about it, like nothing entertaining. So I'm changing this. The
Speaker 1: shady person of the week is Jamal Bryant because I
Speaker 1: said to him, why did you make me watch this?
Speaker 1: And why do you like this? He was like, just hell,
Speaker 1: there's so many plots and twists and turns. It really
Speaker 1: gets into the mental um thoughts about why people do
Speaker 1: what they do and are they driven by money? He
Speaker 1: had like a four point sermon, he said to me,
Speaker 1: So really, Jamal, you're the shape and none of that happened.
Speaker 1: It all happened. But I don't care about that, Like
Speaker 1: I don't care about like what drives people to kill? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's just not my thing. Yes, anyway, we're moving on. Okay,
Speaker 1: speaking of Halloween, do you have a costume? Um? I don't.
Speaker 1: The time has flown so fast that like I haven't
Speaker 1: even realized that Halloween is coming up? Yes, and then
Speaker 1: like where am I going? I don't. Is anyone happen
Speaker 1: a party? Okay, So by time I hear this, Halloween
Speaker 1: will have happened. Okay, so we can talk about some
Speaker 1: things here. Yeah, we can talk Halloween guys, Happy Halloween. Okay.
Speaker 1: So for Halloween guys, it was a major full circle
Speaker 1: moment for Giselle because we all went to l A.
Speaker 1: We were on the reel Awesome Awesome Opportunity season six,
Speaker 1: so it was a Potomac takeover of the reel. So
Speaker 1: like all of us were on for the week. It
Speaker 1: was an amazing thing. We appreciate the fact that the
Speaker 1: reel was like really into it. They came out as
Speaker 1: in like holding like what we hold champagne glasses and
Speaker 1: ourselves there holding her diamond like it was. It was great,
Speaker 1: Thank you, It was awesome. Yes, So I did the
Speaker 1: Halloween episode and they asked me what I wanted to be,
Speaker 1: and I went through all of these different costumes and
Speaker 1: finally one of my girlfriends was like, he should be
Speaker 1: Vanessa Aams when she won Miss America. And I was
Speaker 1: like should I really? And she was like okay, So
Speaker 1: I love it to know me to know that, and
Speaker 1: Robin Robin probably has this issue too. So back in
Speaker 1: when she won. The next morning, my father woke me
Speaker 1: up and he was like, just Zoe you look like
Speaker 1: Miss America. You look just like Miss America Essa Williams.
Speaker 1: And I was like, dad, what's for practice? What are
Speaker 1: you talking about? So but then from that day for
Speaker 1: the next years, everybody thought I was her, asked me
Speaker 1: was I her? Said you look like her? Related. I've
Speaker 1: signed autographs because they didn't believe I wasn't her. I've
Speaker 1: gotten into parties saying I was way. So this is
Speaker 1: like a major full circle moment. Oh my god, that
Speaker 1: is funny. And I wanted to I want you to
Speaker 1: know I nailed it. No, you sent me to picture
Speaker 1: and and that you know the episode. I haven't seen
Speaker 1: an episode yet, but the picture. I was like, Wow,
Speaker 1: that was spot on spot. Did you send it to
Speaker 1: your dad? No, because I want him to be surprised.
Speaker 1: But I loved it. I feel like it's a full
Speaker 1: circle moment. She was the first black Miss America. She
Speaker 1: was a bad one, like she took her platform and
Speaker 1: made a complete and utter career out of it. And
Speaker 1: you know, we love you, Vanessa. Yes, yeah, I love it.
Speaker 1: I love it. I think people will love it when
Speaker 1: they see it because that's the picture. I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: this everything. So it's so when you mentioned your dad
Speaker 1: watching you on the reel. Um. Hello. I want to
Speaker 1: shout out my mother, who listens to the podcast, apparently,
Speaker 1: because she called me the other day and was like, um,
Speaker 1: I listened to the pie, I watched you on the
Speaker 1: reel and you did really, really really well. And then
Speaker 1: I listened to the podcast and it was like this
Speaker 1: one episode where you you weren't like you. You weren't
Speaker 1: talking really um confidently and I need you to talk.
Speaker 1: I was like, what do you talk about? She was like,
Speaker 1: you know, but there's other episodes where you do, but
Speaker 1: there was this one where you didn't and I need
Speaker 1: you to talk more confidently. And I said, okay, well,
Speaker 1: thank you for listening. So hi, mom, does this sound
Speaker 1: confident enough? Probably not. You probably don't like that. Okay,
Speaker 1: So don't you just love our parents? Okay, first of all, yes,
Speaker 1: the parents are kind of like we love y'all with
Speaker 1: y'all at the worst because it's like y'all y'all's commentary.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it makes sense and sometimes it's like what are
Speaker 1: you talking so random? I was like, okay, thank you.
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of like a compliment. But then
Speaker 1: you're like, that wasn't a compliment. It's not a compliment.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Oh my gosh. Okay, so we got
Speaker 1: to get into it all right. First of all, we're
Speaker 1: so excited because in the state of Maryland or no,
Speaker 1: in the county, I don't know, no mask. We don't
Speaker 1: have to wear a mask anymore where. Oh no, that's like,
Speaker 1: um it's mcgarmer County, Montgomery County. Yes, in mcgarmer County,
Speaker 1: we no longer indoors. We no longer have to wear
Speaker 1: a mask because our our cases are so low, which
Speaker 1: is amazing. So, for instance, I went to the gym
Speaker 1: this morning. No mask. Yes, that's like a great thing.
Speaker 1: But still people need to be careful. Yes, no, no,
Speaker 1: people definitely do be careful. I saw an article where
Speaker 1: it said the COVID cases are declining all across you know,
Speaker 1: the US, UM, which of course is attributed to the
Speaker 1: vaccine and the mask wearing. But they said, still, it's
Speaker 1: it's kind of interesting, um, because the US still has
Speaker 1: the low lower vaccination rate than like some of the
Speaker 1: other countries. Some of the other countries are like, you know, vaccinated,
Speaker 1: and we're like, what is it. Fifty seven percent of
Speaker 1: the US population is fully vaccinated. Um. So even though
Speaker 1: our cases are declining, we still have a little ways
Speaker 1: to go with the vaccination. And I'm happy that the kids,
Speaker 1: the younger kids now from five to eleven, they're going
Speaker 1: to approve that pretty soon, I think, for them to
Speaker 1: get vaccinated. UM so, you know, come on, let's let's
Speaker 1: let's get a job. Let's get the vaccinated and stop
Speaker 1: being a rebellious child. I feel like all of the
Speaker 1: um jobs that are like, you have to get vaccinated
Speaker 1: in order for you to have continue to have your job,
Speaker 1: and the people are like, oh no, I wannt want
Speaker 1: to do that because they're being told to do it.
Speaker 1: You're just being like a rebellious right. Yeah, it's like
Speaker 1: you're you're not doing it because you don't because you
Speaker 1: don't want someone to tell you that you have to
Speaker 1: do it. It's like you're trying to prove a point.
Speaker 1: And then like how many times do I three an
Speaker 1: article where it's like, oh, you know, two parents. I
Speaker 1: saw this article. Reason it was heartbreaking was two parents.
Speaker 1: They were like forty and forty eight, they have five children,
Speaker 1: both got of COVID and of course the man you
Speaker 1: know there, he's the husband as he's dying it's like
Speaker 1: I wish I had got in the vaccine. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: it's and it's like, oh my god, like we're almost thereal.
Speaker 1: But it's so crazy to think, like how long we've
Speaker 1: been in this pandemic, Like we've been in it over
Speaker 1: since mar so so a long time. A year and
Speaker 1: a half pretty much, Like it is still mind boggling
Speaker 1: to me that we even got here, Like it's so weird,
Speaker 1: and it's so weird that like our normal now is
Speaker 1: like wearing masks and like just it's it's so crazy.
Speaker 1: But I'm here for the mask on the airplane because
Speaker 1: it's quite it's tight quarters on the airplane. So oh yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure. I mean I actually feel like I'll probably
Speaker 1: wear masks even, you know, as the pandemic subsides, like
Speaker 1: because I haven't really had like a cold and all
Speaker 1: that type of stuff. You know, my kids not until
Speaker 1: they went back to school did they get strapped throat.
Speaker 1: But um. But but we still have to be careful
Speaker 1: because they said there is a new COVID variant called
Speaker 1: Delta plus. Oh so wait a minute, there's delta and
Speaker 1: then now there's Delta Delta plus. Yeah. Yeah, so let's
Speaker 1: keep our eye out on that. But but I did
Speaker 1: read or here on CNN that, um they said, it
Speaker 1: hasn't really spread here yet, it's mostly in the UK.
Speaker 1: So let's let's hope it. Let's hope it stays over there,
Speaker 1: y'all going to London. Don't bring that over yes, and
Speaker 1: I know we have people in the UK who listened.
Speaker 1: So just wear your mask and stay protected. Stay protected. Okay, Robin,
Speaker 1: we gotta talk about this woman who was set up
Speaker 1: on a blind date. Okay, because these people are crazy,
Speaker 1: like I do crazy stuff, You do crazy stuff, of course,
Speaker 1: but wait that damn grazy what happened? Okay? So she
Speaker 1: was set this woman. I believe she was in Korea
Speaker 1: or a she's somewhere. Okay, she was set up on
Speaker 1: a blind date. She brought twenty three of her family
Speaker 1: members to the restaurant with her for the blind She
Speaker 1: walked in the door with twenty three people. I don't
Speaker 1: know if she walked in with them, but the table. Yes,
Speaker 1: she walked in with twenty three people on a blind
Speaker 1: You don't even know this dude, You don't know the dude,
Speaker 1: and you bring you don't bring your home girl, you
Speaker 1: bring your whole damn family. What Okay? So then the
Speaker 1: bill came and so first of all, first of all,
Speaker 1: we already know when when you know this morning, three
Speaker 1: people at the table, the bill can be a little hairy,
Speaker 1: could be a moment. Okay, we already know that. Looking around,
Speaker 1: you're looking around like, well, who babe, I just drank
Speaker 1: water real slow. I had water. I had water, and
Speaker 1: I asked the way just to bring me some limit
Speaker 1: and some sugar and I made my own. That's free, y'all. Okay,
Speaker 1: So the bill comes as thirty and the dude knew, right,
Speaker 1: I know what were they eating ramen? Anyway? So he
Speaker 1: was like, at that, I'm not getting stuck with nobody.
Speaker 1: The dude sat and dine please. He already knew, he
Speaker 1: already calculated in his head, and he knew what he
Speaker 1: was gonna do. Brother said, I'm going to the bathroom.
Speaker 1: I'll be right back. Did we ever see him? He dipped?
Speaker 1: Come on now, dip baby dip. He was goals cat gone.
Speaker 1: He ran out the back door. Okay, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: so he said, oh, I got one for you. Yes,
Speaker 1: we're gonna sit here and eat. Yeah, I'm entertained, smooth,
Speaker 1: and guess what I don't blame him. Okay, this is
Speaker 1: a wives tale, just happened. And guess what, that's what
Speaker 1: you deserve. And I can call her a home that's
Speaker 1: what you deserve. This is a fable favorite. Okay, there's
Speaker 1: there's a moral to this story. Know what the moral is.
Speaker 1: But guess what? That was some time ful and some shenanigans.
Speaker 1: But let me tell you what's also going to be
Speaker 1: some time fooler and shenanigans. And I'm here for it.
Speaker 1: And it's called Porsche's Family Matters portion has her own
Speaker 1: spin off. Guys, y'all know portions, my girl. I'm so excited.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be on Bravo's coming I think airing on
Speaker 1: Sundays Summer in December. But they the trailer for it dropped, okay,
Speaker 1: and the trailer was. The trailer was like all kinds
Speaker 1: of time foolery and shenanigans, and I was here for
Speaker 1: every second of it. I can't imagine like having a
Speaker 1: show like that where you have all these you know,
Speaker 1: you have this family, these people with all these personalities,
Speaker 1: and like you were literally like it's one thing for
Speaker 1: us to film our ensemble show because you know, there's
Speaker 1: only so much time they can devote to your personal life,
Speaker 1: like oh my gosh, like and the people look like
Speaker 1: they came to play. They listen. And and Porshea's sister
Speaker 1: who we we've seen on Atlanta over the years. It
Speaker 1: seems kind of mild manner. She was coming from. Portion
Speaker 1: like South, you're gonna be wife number fourt how you
Speaker 1: gonna deal with that? What happened to other three wives? Pa?
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean that was like serious inquiring minds
Speaker 1: want to know listen. And it was Dennis for me. Okay,
Speaker 1: so Dennis talking about, yeah, she always gonna love me.
Speaker 1: I don't think you said that. I think I'm making
Speaker 1: this up, but it was like very much like focused
Speaker 1: on the fact that maybe there's some unresolved issues between
Speaker 1: her and Dennis, and um, the overlap of it all.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm here for it is the whole. Your
Speaker 1: your baby daddy's fionce, baby daddy is filming the show,
Speaker 1: Your baby daddy, Mama, Your baby daddy mama. She was
Speaker 1: there too. I can't wait. Who this is gonna be
Speaker 1: some good stuff. Portion, we are here for anything. I
Speaker 1: predict great ratings, get your get your coins. And in meanwhile,
Speaker 1: and actually, you know, I didn't want to really talk
Speaker 1: about this again, but like the failin girl is pregnant
Speaker 1: and engaged to the other guy. Okay, I mean she's
Speaker 1: making pregnant like she was probably pregnant then. I mean,
Speaker 1: now I'm like, okay, I think I had said some
Speaker 1: things before. Now you want to retract, I might want
Speaker 1: to retract. Okay, So Porshel put a record. Robin is
Speaker 1: retracting any commentary that she made negatively business being pregnant
Speaker 1: with the poor boy and they they engaged, and she's
Speaker 1: walking around with a ring that she bought for herself
Speaker 1: all the money that Simon gave her when they got divorced. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I said it. Yeah, I'm just gonna business. Okay. We
Speaker 1: minded our business as we move on. So this this
Speaker 1: story like touched my heart, like in a really big way.
Speaker 1: This whole alec ball went and the gun and shooting
Speaker 1: a crew member. Okay, So so let's just let's just
Speaker 1: put this in perspective. So you know, Rob and I
Speaker 1: have been filming our show for six seasons. Our crew
Speaker 1: is like our are like our people, like they've become
Speaker 1: our family. Absolutely, there in our lives, there in our houses,
Speaker 1: they you know, we talked to them constantly seven so
Speaker 1: it's like, I can't imagine something happening in the moment
Speaker 1: on our watch. You're responsible. You're responsible because like Alec
Speaker 1: Baman will never get over this. So I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: sure most people know, but Alec Baldman was on the
Speaker 1: set of a movie that he's producing and he's the
Speaker 1: lead actor and called rust and he was handed you know,
Speaker 1: it's like a Western film. So he was handed a gun.
Speaker 1: I think they were running throughing like a rehearsal of
Speaker 1: the scene. He was handed handed a gun. He was
Speaker 1: told it was a cold gun, which means there's no
Speaker 1: live ammunition in it, and he's going through his you know,
Speaker 1: the scene and he fires the gun and a aparently,
Speaker 1: you know, moments later, the the one of the camera
Speaker 1: the camera woman said her stomach hurt and then they
Speaker 1: looked and there was like, you know, she was bleeding
Speaker 1: out and he also so she was shot and they
Speaker 1: also hit. I think it was the director. And I'm
Speaker 1: just thinking, like, can you I can't imagine. I cannot
Speaker 1: imagine why were there real bullets in the gun. That
Speaker 1: is the weirdest thing, because they're not like, why is
Speaker 1: there live ammunition anywhere on the set, Like that's what.
Speaker 1: Like I really feel like this is like a murder mystery.
Speaker 1: Like I don't think this was a straight up accident.
Speaker 1: It just doesn't seem it's not even logical why there
Speaker 1: would be bullets like live ammunition on the set because
Speaker 1: you're not supposed to have it. You're not supposed to
Speaker 1: have it. And this woman also can can imagine. So
Speaker 1: she's a mother, she was just married, um and alcohol
Speaker 1: ball Win had to go and talk to her husband
Speaker 1: and be like, yeah, I shot your wife and she's dead. Horrible.
Speaker 1: But it's like he probably that's like it's crazy because
Speaker 1: it's like, um reality, Like you know, he's an actor,
Speaker 1: but it's like real life like kind of took over
Speaker 1: in on set, like while he's acting. It's like okay,
Speaker 1: so then so then what in respectability do we continue
Speaker 1: to shoot this film or do we scrap the whole project?
Speaker 1: I think it was scrapping. I think I wonder how
Speaker 1: long have they been on that set. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think I don't. I don't see how anyone, I
Speaker 1: mean not even Alec Balwin. I don't see how anyone
Speaker 1: can even continue. How can they show up to that
Speaker 1: set and you're looking around and you're like, yeah, I
Speaker 1: think you scrap it. But I really think I almost
Speaker 1: you know, there was like conspiracy theories. He said. It
Speaker 1: was like some you know, Trump Trump people planted it
Speaker 1: or something. I don't know, but I do feel like
Speaker 1: it's not just an accident. No, I don't think it's
Speaker 1: an accident. I think we're gonna get to the bottom
Speaker 1: of it, and we might not know. They might not
Speaker 1: tell it, and I wish they had, like I doubt
Speaker 1: they have like security cameras well, unless they do, because
Speaker 1: there's like you know, expensive equipment and stuff. But like
Speaker 1: that's a horrible so Alec Baldwin, we're frankly, but you
Speaker 1: know it. I'm sorry. I don't mean to cut you
Speaker 1: off when you when you mentioned like our camera, our crew,
Speaker 1: Like I didn't even put it into that perspective, but
Speaker 1: I did immediately, damn immediately, Like if something happened on
Speaker 1: while we're filming and god forbid, one of our crew
Speaker 1: got killed, yeah, I we wouldn't be able to finish this,
Speaker 1: finish the whole season. Well, it'd be done, yes, um,
Speaker 1: And I'm all about the show must go on. But
Speaker 1: I think the show at that point. Yeah, yeah, but
Speaker 1: and I hope I would borrowing in and everyone else
Speaker 1: involved is getting some sort of like you know help, Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: And her name was Helena, Helena, Helena. We're praying for
Speaker 1: Helena's family as well. Now on to another note of
Speaker 1: y'all out here with too much time on your hands. Okay,
Speaker 1: So it's a Ray who we love who has a
Speaker 1: show called Insecure, decided that the boogie um cast, you know,
Speaker 1: the actor who's playing somebody very booge right and educated
Speaker 1: and you know, dots her eyes and crosses all of
Speaker 1: her teas who we love, and the characters played by A.
Speaker 1: Manda Seals. I love her too, the characters Tiffany, the
Speaker 1: characters Tiffany, and Tiffany is a member of my sorority
Speaker 1: called Alpha Kappa. Alpha. Sore Wars had their painties in
Speaker 1: a bunch because she had on paraphernalia, said, and I
Speaker 1: think she had on like the official symbol of our
Speaker 1: shi off, the shield of Alvaca. Okay, alright, so Sores
Speaker 1: went into an uproar. How dare they show our shield
Speaker 1: on Insecure? Who does the MANA Seals think she is?
Speaker 1: She is not a member of the civility, And I like,
Speaker 1: did y'all forget she's an actress? Right? How are you better?
Speaker 1: Sore wroars. I love y'all, but y'all, this not the
Speaker 1: fight we're gonna fight. Okay, we got other fights to fight. This,
Speaker 1: ain't it. I saw that and I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: So I'm almost like how many people were mad? Because
Speaker 1: I feel like it was one stupid ass person that
Speaker 1: tweeted and then all hell broke loose. Yes, and then
Speaker 1: all hell broke loose because I'm like, most people with
Speaker 1: the brain are like, yes, this is a show and
Speaker 1: she's acting right, and like, oh wow, that's so awesome
Speaker 1: that they represented our survives. But you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: like it's so, oh that's great. So for someone to
Speaker 1: get mad, it's not like you were at the stoplight
Speaker 1: and the homeless woman you know we go to college
Speaker 1: is wearing your paraphernalia. This is this is an actress
Speaker 1: who's portraying a college educated person. Like it's so so
Speaker 1: I really think this the whole response to it was
Speaker 1: blown out of proportion because I really think it was
Speaker 1: one person that had an issue. I do, but you
Speaker 1: know what, so you know, I think the the production
Speaker 1: someone you know involved on the show was like, you know,
Speaker 1: we have to get permitted. We got permission for that.
Speaker 1: But then I saw where your national people that was
Speaker 1: fat which one? Which which one? But the nationals, like
Speaker 1: National sent a letter or something that said that they
Speaker 1: said that was fake. I have to do my due
Speaker 1: diligence because anytime something comes down from the national headquarters
Speaker 1: like that, I do get a personal email, and I
Speaker 1: can't remember if I got one, but um, I am
Speaker 1: gonna say that typically yes, And and I know this.
Speaker 1: I'm speaking for it from experience because I know from
Speaker 1: real house bands Potomac, if I wear or something that
Speaker 1: says a k a um, they're gonna blurred or something
Speaker 1: that I think we've gotten away with it. But like
Speaker 1: I've never worn like the official UM shield or I
Speaker 1: mean crest or whatever, the official ivy I've never worn.
Speaker 1: And then people are like, oh, well, Spike Lee, Um,
Speaker 1: you know when he did school days, it was like
Speaker 1: these fake sororities and fraternities. Spike Lee couldn't get no approval, okay,
Speaker 1: but Spike was just excited he had a day a movie,
Speaker 1: Like what so I just I really feel like a
Speaker 1: it's it's an honor when and we are imagine the
Speaker 1: people that are watching Insecure who don't know anything about
Speaker 1: black maternities and sororities, and the eyeballs on us like
Speaker 1: that's I think, great, not something that we should be
Speaker 1: complaining about, right, And it's not like I mean, I
Speaker 1: didn't see the episode, but it's not like she was
Speaker 1: acting a fool. No, she's she's not like a hall
Speaker 1: on the street. She's not a criminal. She's not she's
Speaker 1: not what I'm thinking, Okay, she's just so. I remember
Speaker 1: one time when um, I think it was season two,
Speaker 1: I have a ring. I'm so, I'm a member of
Speaker 1: another sorority, Dalta Sigma Data, and I have a ring
Speaker 1: with the symbols on it a ring okay, And on
Speaker 1: the show I wore it filmed scene I wore and
Speaker 1: I was drinking a glass of champagne. And one of
Speaker 1: my sore wars like literally messaged me like, oh no,
Speaker 1: you're wearing symbols and you're drinking on TV. That's not alloud.
Speaker 1: And I'm like what I'm like, okay, Like let's not
Speaker 1: go too far with it. Like the drinking thing is like, no,
Speaker 1: you don't. You can't be like getting. It's not respectful
Speaker 1: to be getting like wasted. Right, I can't drink a
Speaker 1: glass of champagne. Yes you can, Oh my gosh, so
Speaker 1: so yes, Well, we have respect for our sorority. We
Speaker 1: you know, we honor and value. It's it's importance and significance.
Speaker 1: It's like, come come on, y'all, come on, sorebars, calm down,
Speaker 1: get your panties out of a bunch, and we're moving
Speaker 1: on in Jesus name, Okay, so can we put your
Speaker 1: pinkies up y'all? Yeah, and be proud and and a
Speaker 1: man's the seals, Um playing Tiffany, you did a very
Speaker 1: good job. We're moving on. So Um, the People's Choice

Speaker 1: Meg has the hottie sauce, we got to support and
Speaker 1: get the hottie sauce. Okay, Okay, Robert, We've got to
Speaker 1: talk about some real things out here in these streets
Speaker 1: because we have put a a question to the people,
Speaker 1: and the question was because you know, okay, let's be clear,
Speaker 1: it's October, guys, and about five more minutes it's gonna
Speaker 1: be November. So you know what that means Thanksgiving and
Speaker 1: families come together for Thanksgiving, and we still in our
Speaker 1: had messed up about things that happened Thanksgiving dinner, like
Speaker 1: last year and the year before that and year before that,
Speaker 1: like when the family gets together, some some not sense.
Speaker 1: So we asked, we put the question out to the people,
Speaker 1: do you have crazy family drop? And y'all answered that
Speaker 1: day of question WHOA Okay? I think okay, So I
Speaker 1: think we should keep everyone's name anonymous. UM, and I
Speaker 1: want to start off by saying, to to everyone who shared,
Speaker 1: thank you so much for sharing. UM. You know a
Speaker 1: lot of your stories are indeed crazy full of drama. UM,
Speaker 1: you know a lot of them. I felt very you

Speaker 1: to you know, say, you know, I'm whatever it is
Speaker 1: that y'all are going through. I'm so sorry that you know,
Speaker 1: you're you have these experiences. Um. And I also want
Speaker 1: to thank everyone for sharing so that we can share
Speaker 1: because a lot of our listeners, you know, I think
Speaker 1: one of the great things about you know, us being
Speaker 1: on the show or even the podcast is like we
Speaker 1: share stuff with people to make them understand that like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I'm okay, I'm normal, because there's other
Speaker 1: people out here who are experiencing drama and trauma and
Speaker 1: you know, have crazy things going on in their life.
Speaker 1: So you know, sharing these stories is a way for
Speaker 1: everyone to know like you're not alone. Everybody you know
Speaker 1: has something going on, and so you know, it's just
Speaker 1: a matter of supporting one another, showing empathy and support
Speaker 1: and um, you know, and and hopefully people don't have
Speaker 1: to like struggle alone or by themselves. Agree, Agree, agreed.
Speaker 1: Let's see, this was actually kind of funny, y'all. I'm
Speaker 1: sorry I was laughing when I read it. Okay, So
Speaker 1: the question is, do you have any crazy family drama
Speaker 1: and this this particular person wrote back and said, my
Speaker 1: uncle got deported. His American wife had the choice to
Speaker 1: allow him to come back for the second children who
Speaker 1: is this person's cousin, and instead of instead decided to
Speaker 1: divorce him. So that meant he had to wait ten
Speaker 1: years to apply to come back, but had the nerve
Speaker 1: to ask his sister for child support money. Talk about shady, Okay,
Speaker 1: now this is funny to be okay. So in other words,
Speaker 1: she was like, you know what, um, I don't want
Speaker 1: you around no more. So I'm gonna call the I
Speaker 1: n S is that what it's called. I'm gonna call
Speaker 1: Homeland Security and tell you are not for ISIS. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna call Isis Ice. I'm gonna call Ice. I would
Speaker 1: call the people. And I'm a loot to know that
Speaker 1: she ain't supposed to be in this country because you
Speaker 1: are my nerves. That's what you are, my nerves and
Speaker 1: got her husband deported. I divorce you, sir. Now let's
Speaker 1: tell you somebody a woman scorned you better leave alone.
Speaker 1: She will jack you up. Oh my gosh, okay, this
Speaker 1: is crazy. My parents switched spouses and married their exes.
Speaker 1: X what Okay, wait, okay, how does that work? So
Speaker 1: I guess both of the parents had exes and then
Speaker 1: oh wait, and and married there. So like you would
Speaker 1: you would go date Jamal and I would go date wine. No,
Speaker 1: we would know that's not right. Alright, alright, okay, we
Speaker 1: trying to figure it out, trying to figure out it's whatever?
Speaker 1: Does it sound crazy as hell? Okay? So your parents exes,
Speaker 1: my parents switched spouses and married their exes X. Okay,
Speaker 1: so if I had okay, if my parents were previously married, right,
Speaker 1: but they divorced and they married each other. Okay. So
Speaker 1: let's say Jane and Bob and Mary and Bill. Right,
Speaker 1: So Jane and Bob were married, and then Marry and
Speaker 1: Bill were married right. Oh my god, it's so confusing already.
Speaker 1: And then those people divorced okay, and then Bob and
Speaker 1: Mary got married. O. And then they divorced, and then
Speaker 1: Mary and Bill and Jane and Bob got I don't know,
Speaker 1: nice giving us castle? Okay? Crazy? Okay? All right? So
Speaker 1: I got one. I got one. So confusing. This one says,
Speaker 1: my sister has been divorced three times, she's ready to
Speaker 1: get married for the fourth and she's and she said
Speaker 1: she couldn't go to the to the this fourth marriage. Okay,
Speaker 1: she's mad, she said, it's mad. I'm not going. I mean,
Speaker 1: you can only go to so many before you realize
Speaker 1: all they really wanted was a ninja air frying. So
Speaker 1: I sent a present at R s v P that
Speaker 1: I would not be there, And now she's salty sent
Speaker 1: a present. She's lucky I didn't send my future brother
Speaker 1: in law a divorce attorney card. But she's mad at
Speaker 1: the new air fryer. Now that it's funny to me,
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, that's crazy. That's like having multiple baby showers, right,
Speaker 1: you know, on your fourth wedding, Like come on, now,
Speaker 1: come on, you should really just go to the dag
Speaker 1: On Courthouse. What kind of wedding was it? That's crazy. Listen, listen,
Speaker 1: this is this is my thing. You can. You can.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna come to your second wedding, like if I
Speaker 1: went to your first one, I'm gonna second. I ain't
Speaker 1: going to your third wedding. Okay, you cannot get married
Speaker 1: three times and I'm attending this nonsense. Let me tell
Speaker 1: you something. This is this is a true story. One
Speaker 1: of my girlfriends she'll remain nameless. You know who she is. Um.
Speaker 1: She got married and her mother gave them the toast
Speaker 1: at the reception to the new her new son in law.
Speaker 1: She got divorced. Second wedding, the mother gave the same
Speaker 1: damn to the new husband. I remember that thing. It
Speaker 1: was berbato. It was berbato. I don't believe it. And
Speaker 1: I said to another girl who was next to me,
Speaker 1: who also experienced both of these weddings, I was like,
Speaker 1: didn she said that ship last, Oh my god? To
Speaker 1: the first two? Oh my god, it was like shady.
Speaker 1: That was the beginning of my shadiness. I'm lying, I've
Speaker 1: been shading for a long time. Okay, that is hilarious. Yeah. No,
Speaker 1: I'm definitely not going to a fourth wedding, so she
Speaker 1: just gonna be mad. I'm probably not sending a gift either. No, no,
Speaker 1: but a Ninja air friar is nice, by the way,
Speaker 1: But how many how how many courts? Was it? Don't now?
Speaker 1: Now Robin being shady? Now Robin's being shady? Okay, wait, back,
Speaker 1: got another one. This one said, um, My eighteen year
Speaker 1: old cousin from Mexico came to visit her godparents earlier
Speaker 1: this year. Long story short, she is now daging her
Speaker 1: god dad. She took her god mama's husband. What I
Speaker 1: saw another story like that just recently, not not what
Speaker 1: family members from Mexico coming in town, splitting up families.
Speaker 1: Now this is but dating your godfather. So this is
Speaker 1: so crazy. I just saw a story. Um, they seemed
Speaker 1: very southern. It was an eighteen year old that married
Speaker 1: her sixty one year old godfather. That's terrible. Yes, and
Speaker 1: the godfather they and then somehow it got media attention
Speaker 1: or Instagram attention, and they keep going on Instagram and
Speaker 1: making all these videos and stuff. And the guyfather was like, um,
Speaker 1: all these little girls hating all my wife. And then
Speaker 1: the eighteen year old was like, I mean I don't
Speaker 1: want to take these young boys. They can't do anything
Speaker 1: for me. And then the girl's mother it was just
Speaker 1: the whole man, what what race of these people take care?
Speaker 1: I don't want to. I'm gonna move on. We love everyone.
Speaker 1: I got right mate? Wait minute, you got one? Yes? Yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: So I mean this is crazy. I've got an older
Speaker 1: sister that's so messed up. She tried to get my
Speaker 1: parents divorced. My little sister, and I will never forget it.
Speaker 1: That is so sad, that's very sad. That's like why
Speaker 1: that's so weird. I mean that, that's definitely something that
Speaker 1: would break up a family, you know, like that, that's
Speaker 1: like you if that happened in my family. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: not forgiving you for that. No, no crazy family, Joma. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is a good one. So my grandma passed out
Speaker 1: because I told her that I'm gay, and she started screaming,
Speaker 1: crying it passed out, and I laughed because the way
Speaker 1: she dropped to the floor. Okay, guys, let's be clear,
Speaker 1: like anyone over the age of eight, don't spring on him.
Speaker 1: That's your gay, Like, just let him be, just let up,
Speaker 1: just just let it go to the grave. Just let
Speaker 1: it go to the grave, because I can't. Lord only
Speaker 1: knows how they're gonna handle it, and they're a little
Speaker 1: hards especially if you know, like, Okay, Grandma, I gonna
Speaker 1: take this, well right, Just just let grandma. Just just
Speaker 1: let her live the rest of her life, you know,
Speaker 1: in her stubbornness. Yes, oh good, oh my gosh. Okay,
Speaker 1: So this one, I walked in on my mom and
Speaker 1: someone from my own grade making out in my basement room.
Speaker 1: I had to tell him to get the funk out
Speaker 1: and then tell my mom. She ruined my reputation. She
Speaker 1: also said she told you another story about her psycho
Speaker 1: mom attacking her current boyfriend. The first time she met him.
Speaker 1: She was wearing his sweatshirt that he gave me and
Speaker 1: I told her that's awkward, Mom, please take it off.
Speaker 1: So she walks up to him says, I heard you
Speaker 1: want your sweat it back and pulls it off and
Speaker 1: whips it at him and it is all going on.
Speaker 1: Why they're trying to eat mash with dados and gravy Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1: This is terrible. So I had to know. I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: how old was your mom? Like how much older was
Speaker 1: your mom? Like she sounds like she was like twelve
Speaker 1: years older than you or something, you know what I mean? Like,
Speaker 1: why is your mom acting like that? So she says
Speaker 1: she was twenty four Her mom's twenty four years older
Speaker 1: than her. She was eighteen when this happened, like she
Speaker 1: literally oh, she said she would dress way too young
Speaker 1: for her age. She was good and daisy dukes. She
Speaker 1: had suffered from an eating disorder since she was fourteen.
Speaker 1: She's always been a hot mess, but that was like
Speaker 1: the worst thing she ever did to me. She loved
Speaker 1: her pills and liquor, so she's always up to no good.
Speaker 1: One time she had me drive her and her loser
Speaker 1: friends to buy coke, but they got cracked instead. That
Speaker 1: was another thing that went too far from me. It's
Speaker 1: all trauma and I've processed it, so don't feel bad. Happy.
Speaker 1: I have these bad ship crazy stories to share or
Speaker 1: and and this is good because everybody should know that
Speaker 1: no one is immune or skips drama. We all go
Speaker 1: through it no matter what. I don't can how you
Speaker 1: know you look at people's families and you think they're perfect.
Speaker 1: They're not. But also like people before you have kids,
Speaker 1: oh my god, just make sure that you're like fit
Speaker 1: to raise a kid, that you you know that you
Speaker 1: can be a good example for your child, because this
Speaker 1: type of stuff, it creates lifetime trauma, you know, Like
Speaker 1: I just I feel like as a as an adult,
Speaker 1: my responsibility to my kids is to make sure that
Speaker 1: I don't do something to them or you know, create
Speaker 1: a scenario for them that's going up negatively affect them
Speaker 1: for the rest of their life. And and before you
Speaker 1: have kids, to make sure that um, the person that
Speaker 1: you're having the kids with, family you want to eat with,
Speaker 1: arrested your life or have the potential to have to
Speaker 1: break bread with them instead of the table with them,
Speaker 1: deal with how they chew on their food, like all
Speaker 1: of that, and you gotta weigh all of those things. Um,
Speaker 1: and but the good news is that you know, we're
Speaker 1: all in this thing together. No matter whether your family
Speaker 1: drama is I have to go drive my mama to
Speaker 1: buy cocaine or or um, somebody came from Mexico and
Speaker 1: stole my husband likes. You know, it varies, but we
Speaker 1: all have drama. Now. I do want to read a
Speaker 1: couple of things. One, I want to remind you guys
Speaker 1: to write reviews, Oh yeah about this podcast because um,
Speaker 1: that's important to people. And review please important because it'll
Speaker 1: like more eyeboats will see it. So if we have like,
Speaker 1: the more reviews we have, the better ratings we have,
Speaker 1: more people will see it and then more people will
Speaker 1: listen to it. So please make sure you review reasonably.
Speaker 1: Shade okay, And I do want to end my my
Speaker 1: side of of this drama with something actually kind of
Speaker 1: nice because Batty her name is Batty. Yes, I'm saying
Speaker 1: your name, b j B. She said, I'm gonna read
Speaker 1: it just out. I haven't always liked you, but I
Speaker 1: will say this episode, I don't know what episode she
Speaker 1: watched made me see you in a different light. And
Speaker 1: I respect your vulnerability and I understand you much more now.
Speaker 1: I guess it was like seeing myself in the mirror.
Speaker 1: Even though you don't know me, I still feel you
Speaker 1: deserve an apology for my judgment on you. So what
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say to um, B j B is I
Speaker 1: appreciate your apology, but girl, keep your judgment to yourself.
Speaker 1: I appreciate you, but you know what it takes. It
Speaker 1: takes a good person to admit, okay, I was wrong,
Speaker 1: or an apology, you know what I mean, Because I
Speaker 1: think some people can say, you know, I um assume things,
Speaker 1: or I jumped the glunt gun or whatever. So it
Speaker 1: takes a big person to come out and say, you
Speaker 1: know what, I was on the bandwagon and I was
Speaker 1: hating right. But but does this make it this okay?
Speaker 1: That you You've probably written I don't know a thousand
Speaker 1: comments to say that I'm horrible, but you give one
Speaker 1: that says I'm sorry, and I was supposed to be like, whoo, no,
Speaker 1: b j B. I appreciate you, and uh, it's all good.
Speaker 1: You know, we're just here to entertain and to make
Speaker 1: you guys see that we are. We are beyond relatable.
Speaker 1: Our story is your story. And if you can look
Speaker 1: in the mirror, if you can look at my story,
Speaker 1: and then you look in the mirror and see yourself,
Speaker 1: and that's a good thing. I've done my job absolutely.
Speaker 1: And you know, our stories aren't like our stories are
Speaker 1: not going to be relatable to one person, but there
Speaker 1: might be a sliver of something where you're like I
Speaker 1: can relate to that, and they can appreciate that. Yes, yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: all right, well I think that's our episode, rob This
Speaker 1: is always a pleasure. We do appreciate you listening and
