Speaker 2: my hand was like throbbing. Yeah, and it was my

Speaker 2: there's a doctor and she is there's a video and
Speaker 2: she's sitting on the toilet. Okay, and do you know
Speaker 2: what she says? Don't look at your phone when you're
Speaker 2: on your tour. It says, hey, who me? Have you
Speaker 2: heard that? There's a five minute rule on the toilet?
Speaker 2: And the five minute rule is after five minutes, if
Speaker 2: you don't get up off the toilet, you're really hurting
Speaker 2: your whole internal system. Okay, you're hurting your butt, you're
Speaker 2: hurting the toilet, you're hurting the toilet paper, you're hurting
Speaker 2: it pot because the toilet acts as a vacuum. And
Speaker 2: this technical terms for all this. Yes. In other words,
Speaker 2: you ma'am, you sit on the toilet and read and
Speaker 2: scroll through Instagram, do all them things. It's not good
Speaker 2: for you. That's just a follow up. People. You know
Speaker 2: what I've heard that. Actually I saw that that same video. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the same woman. Yeah, I think it, like you get
Speaker 2: hemorrhoids and all types of stuff. Yes, do you have hemorrhoids?
Speaker 2: Maybe Gonna swore you was gonna say no, Robert, you
Speaker 2: cannot sit on a toilet like that. Now, Robbins over

Speaker 2: Make You on the show. Robin been listening to recentably.
Speaker 1: Shady on Shopify, Shopify, Spotify since you started podcast. This
Speaker 1: email is a little later than planned, but I'm gonna
Speaker 1: send it anyway. I wanted to respond to episode thirty
Speaker 1: five where Robin was talking about magazine racks in the
Speaker 1: bathroom and how that was a big thing before cell phones. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm dating myself here, but when I had my apartment
Speaker 1: back in my twenties and thirties and Queens, I had
Speaker 1: a magazine rack with Essence in Style Black Enterprise in
Speaker 1: the bathroom. I haven't seen a magazine rack in forever,
Speaker 1: and that is definitely due to cell phones.
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: I'm impressed that Giselle doesn't take her phone to the bathroom.
Speaker 1: That means your time must be super efficient.
Speaker 2: Yes, so my time on the toilet, Yes, yes, it's
Speaker 2: I sit down boom go, yes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, no, that's impressed. I'm telling you a lot
Speaker 1: of people can't just do that.
Speaker 2: Like We've gotten so many people write in like like, no,
Speaker 2: I've got to sit there and take my time and
Speaker 2: y'all marinate. Okay, y'all need to eat some more fire fiber.
Speaker 2: Yeah yes, yes, yeah, yeah. Well I'm surprised at you
Speaker 2: because you know blueberries, you eat all the blueberries and
Speaker 2: that's high fiber. I know, I know. But yes, okay,
Speaker 2: I'm going to make a change. I'll figure it out. Okay.
Speaker 2: So two things you need to do? Put your phone
Speaker 2: down and go number two in three minutes, yes or less? Okay.
Speaker 2: So lastly, not lastly, what I talk about. I know.
Speaker 2: So in this news report it says, and you know,
Speaker 2: I think we've discussed this before, but it's it's good
Speaker 2: that we rediscuss or discuss again, discuss again. Yeah, making
Speaker 2: your bed makes you two hundred and six percent more
Speaker 2: likely to become a millionaire. I make my bed up
Speaker 2: every day. Okay, it's all I'm say about that. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna tell you how much money I have, but it's
Speaker 2: a lot. Do you make your bed up, Robin, I do.
Speaker 1: It's okay, it's not made up right now, Okay, but
Speaker 1: I do make it up every day.
Speaker 2: Okay, yes, well you too will be a millionaires. Okay,
Speaker 2: so I'm just trying to tell y'all, y'all better make
Speaker 2: up your bed every day. I'll be telling my kid,
Speaker 2: y'all better make up your bed, I know, unless you
Speaker 2: want to be broke.
Speaker 1: I do feel like it sets the day in a
Speaker 1: good tone, right, you know, like, And I do feel
Speaker 1: when it's not made up, I feel unorganized or undone,
Speaker 1: like I just I don't know. It's like when I
Speaker 1: walk in my room my bed is not made up,
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my gosh, like right to make my
Speaker 1: bed up.
Speaker 2: It's a sign of organization and you're ready for the
Speaker 2: day and you're ready to be successful. I would think
Speaker 2: that it's automatic, like I get out the bed, I
Speaker 2: automatically turn around and make it up. Yeah, and that's
Speaker 2: why I have all the money, right, all of it's good.
Speaker 1: I don't automatically do it like I do it because
Speaker 1: I get up. We'll see you get up a lot earlier, right,
Speaker 1: and you have a lot more time in the morning, and.
Speaker 2: You don't have to take kids to school.
Speaker 1: That's okay even if I did so for me, I'm
Speaker 1: getting up, I'm waking kids up, I'm you know, making lunch,
Speaker 1: I'm getting them off the school. So I don't make
Speaker 1: my bed up until I come back.
Speaker 2: But or if, as I say, Wan's still in the bed, right,
Speaker 2: then do you make up your side? I always pull
Speaker 2: the cover. I always.
Speaker 1: I never let the covers be like all over the place.
Speaker 1: Can you like get out the bed and you leave
Speaker 1: the covers there, not like I pull them?
Speaker 2: Just want so if one gets out last, will he
Speaker 2: make up the bed? Lately he has not been making
Speaker 2: it up.
Speaker 1: Let him know, and he used It's it's funny because
Speaker 1: he used to be like a huge neat freak, a
Speaker 1: huge neat freak, and he's kind of like, you know,
Speaker 1: slipping on that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, tell him he's, you know, a millionaire status making
Speaker 2: up that bed? All right? I will. By the way, guys,
Speaker 2: right now we're doing ask us anything, questions at you
Speaker 2: all have sent in. We just Robina all over the place.
Speaker 2: And this is from rod FS twenty twenty and he said,
Speaker 2: by the way, do we ever hear back from Ron
Speaker 2: who was very angry with us because we know that
Speaker 2: I know of Listen, if you're gonna write a shady shit,
Speaker 2: your name will be used. Okay. How rod FS twenty
Speaker 2: twenty said, how has it affected your children, positively or
Speaker 2: negatively that you two are public figures? Listen, we could
Speaker 2: do a whole podcast on that, which we're not. But
Speaker 2: for the positive, I think my kids look at me
Speaker 2: and they're very proud of me. They could see like
Speaker 2: I work very hard. Y'all think we don't. Y'all think
Speaker 2: we just go to lunch and there's a camera there.
Speaker 2: It's not true. So they're very proud of the success
Speaker 2: of it all. I agree with that. Negatively, you know,
Speaker 2: there are moments that they don't want anyone to know
Speaker 2: who they are. They just want to be treated like
Speaker 2: everyone else in the room. That for them is over yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: so that you know that that kind of bothers them sometimes,
Speaker 2: especially the twins.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, my kids, same thing pretty much. They're
Speaker 1: very they're very proud of me. But I can say
Speaker 1: when when I told them, did I ever talk about
Speaker 1: their reactions? Did I have talk about their reactions to
Speaker 1: when they when I told them I wasn't on the
Speaker 1: show anymore. You told me, but you can tell the people, Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure if I said it on the podcast.
Speaker 2: So their reactions were kind of different. It was funny.
Speaker 1: So I told Corey, and Corey's reaction was yes, like
Speaker 1: he was happy because that means he gets me back,
Speaker 1: like my time and my energy and my you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna miss a lot of his things because
Speaker 1: I have to go film or I'm not traveling all
Speaker 1: the time or whatever because I have the film. So
Speaker 1: he was very excited. Carter, and this is the Virgo
Speaker 1: in him. Probably yes, my virgo brother. He was like,
Speaker 1: So that means like you're gonna be without, You're gonna
Speaker 1: be missing a paycheck, You're going to be.
Speaker 2: Let's about virgos. We do not want to miss a
Speaker 2: pay check. Okay, that's so funny.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he thought about like the money and it's
Speaker 1: a job, and you know, like what about the money?
Speaker 2: And I'm like, it's okay, I got other things going on.
Speaker 2: Yes you do, but but we count our coins, yes
Speaker 2: see argos do. Yeah, so that was funny. But they
Speaker 2: are it's I think they they they're proud and I
Speaker 2: don't think their life has been negatively affected. I think
Speaker 2: they kind of and they've in they're not on social media,
Speaker 2: they're not even they don't watch the show. The only
Speaker 2: time they're affected really is when we're out and someone
Speaker 2: is trying to, like, you know, say hi to me
Speaker 2: or you know. The people in school don't bother them,
Speaker 2: so they have a very normal life. They don't bother
Speaker 2: them until they graduate and it's on. So there was
Speaker 2: a was a football player, a basketball player that didn't
Speaker 2: go to the playoffs because oh yeah, yeah, so I
Speaker 2: want to see what you thought about that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So Rudy Gobert who plays for the Minnesota Timberwolves in
Speaker 1: the Conference semifinals, Game two of the NBA Playoffs Conference
Speaker 1: Semifinals against who were they playing?
Speaker 2: They just beat them? And is he really good? He's good? Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's like he was a starter. He's a starter.
Speaker 1: He won the Defensive Player of the Year, so he's
Speaker 1: like a strong defensive presence for the team. So it's
Speaker 1: game two against oh, the Denver Nuggets, who are the
Speaker 1: defending National Championships champions, a very good team. So he
Speaker 1: missed game two for the birth of his first.
Speaker 2: Child, okay, And there was suspect.
Speaker 1: Yes, there was some conflicted feelings about that, right, So
Speaker 1: some people were like, no, this is the NBA Playoffs, like,
Speaker 1: you know, this is a big game, Like it's it's
Speaker 1: hard to Yeah, yeah, it's hard to get here, trying
Speaker 1: to make it to the finals.
Speaker 2: And you know, you don't you know, Okay, it's it's
Speaker 2: just a baby.
Speaker 1: I think Gilbert Arenas was like, you know, it's just
Speaker 1: you know, you're going to see that kid for the
Speaker 1: rest of your life.
Speaker 2: Shut up, right, you have twenty seven kids with twenty
Speaker 2: seven women. Shut up. Okay, not it really is like
Speaker 2: four kids with one woman, but whatever, shut up. Yes,
Speaker 2: game for that baby. I see it's gonna be there
Speaker 2: when you get back.
Speaker 1: I mean.
Speaker 2: No, I'm just saying whatever you're about to think you're
Speaker 2: about to do with the he gonna be sweep.
Speaker 1: But and then other people are like, no, that's his
Speaker 1: first child, that's a big deal. It's okay, and you
Speaker 1: know life is more important blah blah blah blah. So
Speaker 1: that just got me to thinking, like, what what is
Speaker 1: okay to missing your children's life for work?
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's not?
Speaker 1: So for example, Carter's graduating from the eighth grade. His
Speaker 1: eighth grade graduation is coming up, and I have an
Speaker 1: opportunity to appear at a conference for a lot for
Speaker 1: you know, a good amount of money, you know, a
Speaker 1: short period of time, good amount of money, and I'll
Speaker 1: miss his but I will miss his graduation, so I
Speaker 1: have to make the decision like am I going to
Speaker 1: go to this or not?
Speaker 2: What you're gonna do? It's I'm intrigued. So it's just
Speaker 2: eighth grade.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: Okay, did you talk to him about it? How do
Speaker 2: you think he will feel? He's he's aware, and I
Speaker 2: think he's okay. He's like, okay, well, is Gig going
Speaker 2: to be there? That's my mom, So he's like, is
Speaker 2: Gig going to be there? He didn't even ask about
Speaker 2: his Dad's like my substitute and she will be there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So she'll be there, and Mom will be there
Speaker 1: of course, but he's he's okay with it and he Understandsky.
Speaker 2: Because I don't know. It's just eighth grade, Okay, if
Speaker 2: it was twelfth grade, Robin, eighth grade is important too.
Speaker 2: I think you do have to. I mean, listen, any body,
Speaker 2: any parent working, You make sacrifices when it comes to
Speaker 2: your kids. So yeah, you do have to weigh, right,
Speaker 2: because there's plenty of times where I can and have
Speaker 2: dinner because we were filming scenes or doing whatever. I
Speaker 2: think that you have to weigh what it is. And
Speaker 2: so my example is recently I was out of town
Speaker 2: for work. Adore and Angel had their cap and gown
Speaker 2: ceremony from high school, which is the ceremony they kind
Speaker 2: of split up graduation. So okay, cap and gown ceremonies
Speaker 2: when you get your awards and the whole school is there,
Speaker 2: whereas graduation it's just like the seniors, their family, all that.
Speaker 2: Typically the whole school's not there. Cap and gown ceremony,
Speaker 2: as tradition, the senior class president speaks, so Adore is
Speaker 2: the senior class president, so she was going to speak,
Speaker 2: and she's worked up to this, meaning she always wanted
Speaker 2: to do that so she was like the freshman class
Speaker 2: vice president. She was I think the sophomore class vice president.
Speaker 2: She's worked up to like make sure she was the
Speaker 2: senior class president so she can give the soul speech. Okay,
Speaker 2: So I'm supposed to be out of town for work,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, ain't no way in hell I can
Speaker 2: even look a door in the eye and say I'm
Speaker 2: not going to be there. And I told the people
Speaker 2: that I worked for about the situation, and they kind
Speaker 2: of like didn't say nothing. I know what that means.
Speaker 2: They're like that you don't think of this shit, because yeah,
Speaker 2: you leaving is like we don't want you to do that.
Speaker 2: But I had to make the decision of this for
Speaker 2: me is a no brainer, Like if I have to
Speaker 2: lose money, I will lose money. I cannot not be
Speaker 2: there for because Angel got a bunch of angels, like
Speaker 2: got the top English award of her class, Like they
Speaker 2: got all these awards. So anyway, long story short, I
Speaker 2: had to drive six hours in the middle of the night.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it was car service. I got driven
Speaker 2: in the middle of the night six hours. I left
Speaker 2: at ten pm. I got home at four o'clock in
Speaker 2: the morning. I slept for like an hour and a
Speaker 2: half and then it got up because the ceremony was
Speaker 2: at eight o'clock in the Ome. My gosh, I did
Speaker 2: the ceremony and then I flew back to where I
Speaker 2: had come from. Wow. That sacrifices you gotta make as
Speaker 2: a mod sacrifice. But sure, but as far as having
Speaker 2: a baby, you're gonna be there. I remember when I
Speaker 2: had I was pregnant with Grace and I was getting
Speaker 2: ready to have a baby, and Jamal says to me,
Speaker 2: because I was like forty weeks pregnant, Jama says to me,
Speaker 2: he said, all right, I got this preaching gig and
Speaker 2: mohammas and you have what right in the what I
Speaker 2: told him, you go to the Bahamas if you want to, right, Bro,
Speaker 2: if I had this baby and you're going, do not
Speaker 2: come back, right, do not? He said, I don't have
Speaker 2: a preaching engagement in the Bahamas. That's how that conversation
Speaker 2: with that fast. Right. So, I mean, you make sacrifices,
Speaker 2: but no, no one should get you shouldn't really have
Speaker 2: an opinion about that. Kids come first, family comes first. Period.
Speaker 2: Jobs are not more important. And as a parent, you
Speaker 2: got to wait the option of the of the coin,
Speaker 2: like you know what I'm saying. I get that. So
Speaker 2: that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Okay, So what if the bag is like I mean,
Speaker 1: you gotta got away in dollars?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you wait, an option of like what are we doing?
Speaker 2: Like can we stream it?
Speaker 1: Like I can?
Speaker 2: Can I stream it? I mean, you weigh the option,
Speaker 2: but there shouldn't be any judgment either way, right Yeah.
Speaker 2: So and by the way, car service is expensive. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Now now on the flip side, yes, car service, And
Speaker 2: I didn't know that to drive six hours, yes, no
Speaker 2: idea car service was expensive. If car service just to
Speaker 2: pick you up from the airport and take you home
Speaker 2: is over one hundred dollars, I didn't know none of that,
Speaker 2: literally until I had to come out of my pocket
Speaker 2: for but like that six hours was fifteen hundred dollars. Wow, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I had no idea.
Speaker 1: I was.
Speaker 2: I thought he was gonna say five hundred hit it.
Speaker 1: Okay, But so in my opinion, if they were if
Speaker 1: Rudy Gobert was playing in the in game seven of
Speaker 1: the Championship, the Championship, the finals, you going to play
Speaker 1: in that game, I'm sorry you're playing in that game?
Speaker 2: That's a tough call. That is tough super Bowl tough call. Yes, right, yeah,
Speaker 2: things like that. It's like, okay, yes, we just have
Speaker 2: to time the pregnancies.
Speaker 1: I mean, because if you think about it, the kid
Speaker 1: won't know that he wasn't there.
Speaker 2: But anyway, we're moving on, all right, So sage soul
Speaker 2: flower eleven ass how do you deal with haters? Y'all know,
Speaker 2: we love haters, haters. Who has haters? We love haters.
Speaker 2: I don't know anything about Listen. Haters is actually what
Speaker 2: makes Twitter.
Speaker 1: Work, very true, very true haters is haters are comical,
Speaker 1: and I realized it's always comedy.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna tell you how you do with haters.
Speaker 1: We don't take haters personal because I don't like the
Speaker 1: toxicity of them, Like I just don't like to read
Speaker 1: that negative energy. And of course I realized that like
Speaker 1: everybody has haters.
Speaker 2: It could be a video.
Speaker 1: On Instagram about blueberries, someone telling you to eat blueberries
Speaker 1: because blueberries are healthy, and I promise you there'll be
Speaker 1: someone in the comments saying, but blueberries have pesticides And
Speaker 1: how dare you tell me to eat blueberries because they
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, like, and you're not an expert.
Speaker 2: Look at you. It's what makes you think you are experts.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's so crazy to see yes people trolling and
Speaker 1: saying negative things to like regular everyday people.
Speaker 2: Every yes, every and that is how you should look
Speaker 2: at it. Everyone has haters, Yes, it ain't just Giselle
Speaker 2: and Robin. It's like every body has a hatur right,
Speaker 2: So I just I think they're funny.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I laugh at it. But I am happy
Speaker 1: to be kind of relieved of the super toxic haters
Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 2: Oh, you're gonna you're gonna get pulled in and I
Speaker 2: mark my word, and y'all let me know when y'all
Speaker 2: see it. Are you ready? Yeah? So, at some point
Speaker 2: the Royal Housewives of Potomac will come out, I mean, the
Speaker 2: episodes will air and something crazy will happen and somebody
Speaker 2: will say this because Robin's not on the show, this's
Speaker 2: just Robin's fault. It's Robin's fault. I promise you they're
Speaker 2: gonna blame it on Robin, right, Okay, just saying because
Speaker 2: it's already happened, right, okay, moving on, moving on, Okay,
Speaker 2: So I love when people are like when we say
Speaker 2: ask us anything, and they like straight up do so
Speaker 2: G Money three two four seven seven said, how's it going?
Speaker 2: They're on in to just say what you want to know?
Speaker 2: How's it going? G Money? Yes, so Robin, how's it going?
Speaker 2: It's going out. Yes, it's going well. And he says
Speaker 2: he's gonna miss Robin of course, but how's it going?
Speaker 2: How about I even answer, how's it going? How's right?
Speaker 2: What is it right? Yeah? What's the it parting? It's
Speaker 2: just going, yes, And I say, I'm I'm you know,
Speaker 2: despite not being on season, I'm quite busy. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: we are actually about to begin the build out construction
Speaker 2: process of oh boom. Yeah. People can ask me about that,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, I'm not really sure. I think she's
Speaker 2: still building out. So you're about to start that, Yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: start that.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's definitely a process just to get just
Speaker 1: to get here. I mean I signed my lease in December, yeah,
Speaker 1: and now we're in June. So that was like, you know,
Speaker 1: December it's like a wash because of the holidays and stuff,
Speaker 1: so almost like don't even count December. So January to June,
Speaker 1: it took that long for us to just get the
Speaker 1: architectural plans drawn and approved and the permit issued, and
Speaker 1: now my contractor is ready to hit the ground running.
Speaker 1: So and his timeline if we stay on course, shows
Speaker 1: with a completion in the middle of August.
Speaker 2: Love that that's soon. Yeah okay, so okay, yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So now I got to hit the ground running.
Speaker 1: Like with my hiring my staff.
Speaker 2: That's going to say, you got to hire your staff
Speaker 2: because I can't. I can't do injections and stuff for you.
Speaker 2: I can't work for your rabbit. I know you want
Speaker 2: me to work for you, but it cannot be. But
Speaker 2: I'll get some good people to do it. So yeah,
Speaker 2: so it's busy, and then you know, kids, life, family,
Speaker 2: it's good. Another thing I think that you should put
Speaker 2: in there is like a makeup bar, like somebody in
Speaker 2: there just like putting on makeup.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I might have space for that because I have,
Speaker 1: especially in the beginning, because I have five treatment rooms,
Speaker 1: and I just think, you know, a new business you
Speaker 1: have to grow and build and so I probably won't
Speaker 1: have five rooms utilized like every hour of the day,
Speaker 1: so I probably can use one of those rooms.
Speaker 2: For like a gland bar. Yeah. I love that, Like
Speaker 2: some of that you can just run in there and
Speaker 2: get your makeup done. People need that, right. I got
Speaker 2: a good question. Yeah, this is from all things jzell
Speaker 2: me me, me me, this is a good question. Okay,
Speaker 2: how did y'all manage to keep a solid friendship despite
Speaker 2: the reality TV curse? And I think we've kind of
Speaker 2: said this in a lot of ways and maybe knows
Speaker 2: the answer to this, maybe, but okay.
Speaker 1: But I think, I mean, we legitimately were friends before
Speaker 1: we started.
Speaker 2: We weren't.
Speaker 1: You know, we're clearly a lot closer today, but we
Speaker 1: legitimately were friends, and we have a lot in common
Speaker 1: and we just enjoy being around one another. And for us,
Speaker 1: it's not a competition. I think what happens to a
Speaker 1: lot of people on these shows is they get on
Speaker 1: the shows and they they're in competition with one another, like,
Speaker 1: you know, they want to be everyone wants to be
Speaker 1: the queen of the show where you know, the most.
Speaker 2: Liked, and they want to pander to the fans and
Speaker 2: get them on their side and all that type of stuff,
Speaker 2: and so they end up doing stuff that's just really
Speaker 2: not something that a real friend would do. For sure,
Speaker 2: everyone has their own individual journey and their own individual lane.
Speaker 2: So even if you're on a show, you have your lane,
Speaker 2: which is you, right, so wrap that out and support everybody.
Speaker 2: And yeah, I've you've totally supported me. I support you.
Speaker 2: I think we're closer today more so than ever before.
Speaker 2: Yeah for sure. Yeah, yeah, well, I mean, yeah, we've
Speaker 2: been through a lot.
Speaker 1: You know, we might have said stuff on the show
Speaker 1: or that we didn't approve of or you know, always
Speaker 1: support it, but we always still had each other's back.
Speaker 2: So hey, ni h e y n I why Haney
Speaker 2: asked us about two pages worth questions? Okay, so we're
Speaker 2: going to answer some of them, girl, but you didn't
Speaker 2: ask a whole lot of questions. You're kind of being nosy,
Speaker 2: but whatever, When is it time to leave a relationship?
Speaker 2: If you're asking a question, it's now, okay, if you
Speaker 2: ask that question, it's today, today's to day. Leave that thing? Okay,
Speaker 2: that thing is over? That is yes, And you're even
Speaker 2: thinking should I leave this relationship? The answers yes, yes,
Speaker 2: out of there quick fast and in a hurry. Hit
Speaker 2: yourself in another one, right yeah the end? Okay. How
Speaker 2: do you make new friends as an adult? That's a
Speaker 2: good question. Yeah, you don't but you do. We made
Speaker 2: friends as adult, I think a lot of times, like
Speaker 2: in our situation, we became we made friends through a
Speaker 2: mutual friend. I think.
Speaker 1: I think like the best way I almost think that's
Speaker 1: the best way for people to find new like partners
Speaker 1: or people to date. A mutual friend, someone who knows someone.
Speaker 2: Yes, introduces yeah, yeah, there needs to be like a connect.
Speaker 2: So I think that as an adult, it's a good
Speaker 2: way to make friends. Why buy if you have similar
Speaker 2: interest like if you're in a bike club with the bikers, if.
Speaker 1: Like football moms of the football moms and basketball moms,
Speaker 1: like you know, you can become friends because you're like, hey,
Speaker 1: let's go out, let's let's get the kids together, and
Speaker 1: you're sitting at the bar having a drink or whatever.
Speaker 2: For sure. And so I was in St. Bart's for
Speaker 2: the holidays and there was a girl there that me
Speaker 2: and Erica met and she has become our friend. She's
Speaker 2: more so with Erica because she lives in Erica. But
Speaker 2: like we have we have for the first of all,
Speaker 2: if we're both in St. Barts around the holidays, we
Speaker 2: have that in common, right, and that's something that we
Speaker 2: both like to do. We can start there. So that's
Speaker 2: a great way to make friends. So it's I think
Speaker 2: it's easier a bit to make friends as adults because it's,
Speaker 2: you know, you past the whole caddy bullshit of like
Speaker 2: your twenties or your or the high school years. But
Speaker 2: people still act like that, right, really yeah, real housewives, potomac,
Speaker 2: but they still act like that. You just have to
Speaker 2: get past it. But I think it's it's nice to
Speaker 2: have adult friends. Yeah, it definitely is, and it makes sense.
Speaker 1: Like if you have a common interest, I think it
Speaker 1: makes it easier because that's automatically something to talk about. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then you just go from there.
Speaker 2: Yes, Okay, hey ni, this is your last one that
Speaker 2: we're doing for you. Okay. Thoughts on having a grand
Speaker 2: proposal but not having a wedding so I've never seen
Speaker 2: this before. Well, these are two different bank accounts, So
Speaker 2: the proposal typically is the guy, right, So if he's
Speaker 2: doing a grand proposal, that's his money. Okay, he's doing
Speaker 2: the most right, caviar, balloons, whatever, helicopter, all the things
Speaker 2: for the wedding. It depends on how old you are.
Speaker 2: It's typically both of y'all's bank account, right, or just
Speaker 2: the bride's parents. Yes, so I mean you can literally
Speaker 2: have both because these are two different accounts here. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So I guess what she's saying that.
Speaker 1: So when you see these proposals that are filmed and
Speaker 1: they're doing all these like theatrics and stuff, so do
Speaker 1: all that, and then they don't have.
Speaker 2: A wedding, or they have like a courthouse wedding.
Speaker 1: So let's say in this instance, they just have a
Speaker 1: courthouse wedding, small wedding. Y. I guess that's what she's saying.
Speaker 2: Yeah, or never get married. I don't know. I don't
Speaker 2: believe in I don't believe in courthouse weddings, by the way, really,
Speaker 2: I don't. I think that. And we've been to one. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I just think it's just because we've been to one.
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, no, you could do better, just do better.
Speaker 2: You could do it somewhere else, even you don't want
Speaker 2: to spend any money. You can do better than the
Speaker 2: courthouse in the.
Speaker 1: Court out, that's true. Yeah, yeah, you could have a
Speaker 1: wedding in your backyard.
Speaker 2: Or this is what I didn't like. It's a timed thing.
Speaker 1: Uh huh.
Speaker 2: So you like.
Speaker 1: Bring the next person and that's not special. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: you and you feel like you're in court for Yes,
Speaker 1: you just like the fourth slot of the day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that's not special. Yeah, yeah, I don't like that.
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's just say it's a wedding in the
Speaker 1: backyard with you know, your mama and your cousins.
Speaker 2: Right, But the proposal was over the top. I don't
Speaker 2: think I personally don't think anything's wrong with that. I just,
Speaker 2: you know, I think whatever float your boat. Some people
Speaker 2: might not want to have a grand wedding and have
Speaker 2: to deal with all the guests.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know they they might want to keep
Speaker 1: it intimate.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think it's nothing wrong with that. And the proposal.
Speaker 1: It's the proposals about the two people, yeah, and the wedding,
Speaker 1: and it'd be about the two people.
Speaker 2: And the prosal doesn't have to be grand. It doesn't
Speaker 2: have to be. But I got that questions like if
Speaker 2: it is grand, how you gonna have a grand proposal?
Speaker 2: You're gonna do all that and a whack wedding and
Speaker 2: then you're gonna like have a wedding in your backyard
Speaker 2: with five people. Listen, whatever flows your boat. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's about you too. I don't think I don't have
Speaker 2: no problems with that. Yeah. And the words of Robin Dixon,
Speaker 2: she gonna do it her way, yeah, and not like
Speaker 2: traditional ways are out the window at this point. Yeah
Speaker 2: for sure. Yeah. So do whatever makes you happy. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And if you don't know what makes you happy, you
Speaker 2: shouldn't be getting married. Boom, I said it. Okay, So
Speaker 2: how do you organize? It's good for you. We'll end
Speaker 2: me too. How do you organize chores in your household?
Speaker 2: Or do you have a daily house cleaner? Or and
Speaker 2: I'm asking do you have you given the boys chores? Okay?
Speaker 1: So the boys the only thing they are supposed to
Speaker 1: do is to take the trash and recycling out.
Speaker 2: That's the only chore. Okay, that's good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And they're supposed to be proactive about it, so
Speaker 1: they don't. They should not have to wait for it
Speaker 1: to be overflowing and for us to stay take the
Speaker 1: trash of the trash out.
Speaker 2: Okay. Corey is much better at that than Carter.
Speaker 1: So Corey is trash, Carter is recycling, okay. And Corey
Speaker 1: will see that the bag is filling up and he'll,
Speaker 1: you know, tie it up and put it in the
Speaker 1: garbage can outside Carter will walk past the full recycle
Speaker 1: bin seventeen times, over and over and over and over
Speaker 1: again until his father threatens him.
Speaker 2: Right, this is why we've never had this conversation before.
Speaker 2: I don't think so. And it's wild because my kids,
Speaker 2: that's the that's the only chore too. Trash. So it
Speaker 2: was Grace's responsibility until she went to college. Grace was
Speaker 2: trash girl. And then on Tuesdays the trash people come,
Speaker 2: so we have like two bends. So the Angel had
Speaker 2: to help her bring the trash cans up the up
Speaker 2: the driveway. Yeah, okay. Grace went to college and she
Speaker 2: informed everyone of the house her trash girl duties are over,
Speaker 2: and I passed them on to a door. Adoor is
Speaker 2: the worst trash girl under the sun. She sucks. Okay,
Speaker 2: why just Adore though, because Angel had already been helping
Speaker 2: with on trash Day on Tuesday trash Day, so I
Speaker 2: was like a door, I ain't doing nothing a door
Speaker 2: typically in the house, she does nothing. If I say, hey, guys,
Speaker 2: y'all need to clean up something, she oh, this is
Speaker 2: funny too. She will all of a sudden get sick
Speaker 2: or she's like, oh my god, my stomach hurts so
Speaker 2: with the door, Like she likes to go out hang
Speaker 2: out with her girlfriends. I'm like, you can't leave until
Speaker 2: your room is clean. Send me a video. She sends
Speaker 2: me videos, and she purposely doesn't doesn't show like the
Speaker 2: big pile of clothes that are on the floor, Like
Speaker 2: she has a big room. So the video like will
Speaker 2: swing from left to right and then and then it'll
Speaker 2: stop and it'll pick up again, like, girl, who do
Speaker 2: you think you're falling? So anyway, it's funny that is
Speaker 2: the door. And then but now she Graces back home
Speaker 2: for the summer, so the door is like, I'm not
Speaker 2: trash girl anymore, Grace, it's trash girl, And so they're
Speaker 2: fighting about it. There's a trash by every day.
Speaker 1: Because listen, your driveway is long, all right, but.
Speaker 2: You don't have to do that every day. Just take
Speaker 2: it outside to the trash can. Tuesday is the long
Speaker 2: driveway day because you take it up top. But like
Speaker 2: trash girl just takes the trash from the kitchen and
Speaker 2: puts it outside.
Speaker 1: Take it out, and you have to take it up
Speaker 1: top and bring it back.
Speaker 2: Then every day. Now that's just tuesdays. Trash on a
Speaker 2: normal day let's say it's a Monday or normal day.
Speaker 2: You take the trash from the kitchen, yes, and you
Speaker 2: take it outside. The trash cans are like not that
Speaker 2: far from the door. Only on Tuesday, so that has
Speaker 2: to happen every day, right, that was Grace's job. And
Speaker 2: then on Tuesday you have to walk it all the
Speaker 2: way up and Angel would help her, okay, and then
Speaker 2: who walks it back? The two of them, Angel and Grace. Okay,
Speaker 2: A door had nothing to do. That's crazy.
Speaker 1: So now why wouldn't they They could have split that up.
Speaker 1: A door could have been bringing it.
Speaker 2: Back all the thing. A door was like no, Mom
Speaker 2: said I'll have to do it. So now she is
Speaker 2: a total trash girl and she's and because Grace is home,
Speaker 2: it's a big fight every day. Yeah, I'm gonna have
Speaker 2: to put my foot down at some point. Yeah, that's
Speaker 2: that's I understand why it's a fight though. Yeah, the
Speaker 2: driveway is long, and I mean, my little we gotta
Speaker 2: take hours down the street. And they don't like my
Speaker 2: kids don't like that, but yours is like it's ridiculous,
Speaker 2: and it's like are they scared of are their animals
Speaker 2: out there? No? No, foxes, and there's there's Oh, I
Speaker 2: found a fox family. So I looked out. The back
Speaker 2: of my house is like a lot of trees and grass.
Speaker 2: The fox family was chilling in the grass. I saw
Speaker 2: like like babies. I saw two like they were playing
Speaker 2: with each other. And then I saw like a mom
Speaker 2: pop her head out. O cute. So it's actually three
Speaker 2: little ones and the mom. Okay, whole fox family. Very cute. Yeah,
Speaker 2: all right. So, last but not least, it's souls. It's souls,
Speaker 2: I guess. Is her name? Not a question, but just
Speaker 2: sending lots of love from Trinidad? Is that the accent?
Speaker 1: Trina Trinidad, someone that we know that actually the person
Speaker 1: that has been doing my lastly, she's from Trinidad.
Speaker 2: So no, no, it's Trinidad. Yeah, that's it, Trinidad. Send
Speaker 2: not a question, but just sending lots of love from Trinidad.
Speaker 2: And then she said love y'all. Pod. That's it. No,
Speaker 2: it's not that is the accent. Okay, So I want
Speaker 2: to let you know the old Man. It's on FX
Speaker 2: or Hulu. Very good. Okay, I've been watching. I've only
Speaker 2: seen one episode. I'm probably gonna get into another one.
Speaker 2: Tonight maybe tomorrow night. But it's really good. Okay. Still
Speaker 2: stuck on The Resident Okay on Netflix. Yeah, I'm liking
Speaker 2: it's really in juicy. How are you watching multiple shows
Speaker 2: at once? Because The Resident is like six seasons. I
Speaker 2: can't just do that, really, I gotta switch it up.
Speaker 2: You see, I would be all confused.
Speaker 1: I would be watching one show thinking that something from
Speaker 1: the other show happened on the show.
Speaker 2: I'd be like, wait a minute, what happened? Okay. So,
Speaker 2: and there's a new series, I mean a new season
Speaker 2: of Bridgerton on Netflix. I don't know whether you watched
Speaker 2: the first show. I've never watched. I'm a Bridgerton girl,
Speaker 2: so I'm very excited about that. Okay, and so an
Speaker 2: old man definitely checking that out. Guys, the first twenty
Speaker 2: minutes you're confused, but then it's like boom, oh really
Speaker 2: already actually tell one he would like it? How many?
Speaker 2: How many seasons? Season? I think it's two? Okay, maybe one,
Speaker 2: but so far, so good. And yeah, and then I
Speaker 2: check into The Resident. Wow, I'm like all around to
Speaker 2: all over the place show gun. Okay, did we talk
Speaker 2: about that?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: It was on FX. There's a lot of subtitles, darn exactly,
Speaker 2: so if you and you know what's so crazy. I
Speaker 2: was having a conversation with Jason. My brother had told
Speaker 2: me about Shogun, So I said, did you have ever
Speaker 2: watch Shogun? He said, oh my god, I love Showgun.
Speaker 2: I said, why didn't you tell me about it? He said,
Speaker 2: because I didn't know whether you like to read. I said,
Speaker 2: you're shady, Jason, and I'm educated and I know how
Speaker 2: to read. He's like, I didn't know if you were
Speaker 2: that kind of girl. And I said that likes to read.
Speaker 2: Actually I am, so I told him he's shady. And
Speaker 2: I watched it and it was really good, except the
Speaker 2: ending was a little weird.
Speaker 1: So it's subtitles because it's in another language, or because
Speaker 1: like it's just hard to understand it.
Speaker 2: Is in another lie's it's comes it goes back and
Speaker 2: forth from English to they speak English, and I guess Mandarin. Okay,
Speaker 2: in the whole season, and yeah, I enjoyed it. Not
Speaker 2: for you, but I alljoined it because I don't know
Speaker 2: if you read either. Now you're a reader, Robin. I
Speaker 2: am not a reader, but I am capable. I'm quite
