Speaker 1: should have lasted much longer. No, I'm not. I know,
Speaker 1: I know, it's totally like it was fine at first,
Speaker 1: but it's like we feel sunken in in the sunken place,
Speaker 1: in the sunken place, and what's that what's that guy's name?

Speaker 1: I was traveling recently. I don't know whether you were traveling,
Speaker 1: but I would think I was. You were okay, And
Speaker 1: so my shady moment are misque gutoes, oh gosh, okay,
Speaker 1: And I know this is this is a little you know,
Speaker 1: it's my bringing you PTSD Robin. But I might have
Speaker 1: right now like thirty mosquito bites. And I know because
Speaker 1: like you don't feel them, and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: out of know where, you just start itching all over
Speaker 1: the place. Yes, or someone says, oh, you got a
Speaker 1: mosquito bite on the back of your arm, and then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you feel it and you start
Speaker 1: you start I got bitten up, so badly. I was
Speaker 1: like talking to God. I was like, God, why did
Speaker 1: you put these creatures on the earth. I mean they
Speaker 1: come out of nowhere, they bite you, and then they
Speaker 1: roll and then they leave. Like, what's their purpose? What
Speaker 1: is that purpose? Why do we need them? Mosquitoes be gone? Yes? Oh,
Speaker 1: yes I was. I was in that boat with you
Speaker 1: for sure. Yes. Um, the mosquitoes. I mean it was like,
Speaker 1: you have mosquitoes like on your face, on my face,
Speaker 1: on my back, on my butt, um, in between my
Speaker 1: thighs and places that I don't want mosquitoes. It was
Speaker 1: so bad, it was horrible. It was awful. So that's
Speaker 1: that's my The mosquitoes are my shady moment for the summer.
Speaker 1: I think I'm just gonna put them in the the
Speaker 1: whole summer. They're the worst I want to do. You know,
Speaker 1: there's like companies that were like sprayed like your whole yard.
Speaker 1: I did that? You did that? Did that work for you?
Speaker 1: It shout out to True Green, True Laan. Okay, you're
Speaker 1: a long people. What's the name of the company, True Green? Anyway? No,
Speaker 1: my A Long people didn't do it. They don't do it.
Speaker 1: A lot of people don't do it. True value. It's
Speaker 1: another it's a company that does it. I called and yeah,
Speaker 1: they came out and it's d when I say, sprayed
Speaker 1: my house down. So it lasts for like thirty days
Speaker 1: and then they come back every every month. Okay, all yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I wonder if my pest control company does that.
Speaker 1: I need to call them, you need to ask them.
Speaker 1: But it's a it's a it's a mosquito situation. And
Speaker 1: they were gone because like my kids were out back
Speaker 1: and they said they got bit once. We're normally it
Speaker 1: would have been five all right, so it works. That's good,
Speaker 1: all right, all right, cool, I'm gonna do that from
Speaker 1: my yard because I want to. I just want to
Speaker 1: like hang out outside up this year. Yeah, you want
Speaker 1: to enjoy it, Yeah for sure. All right. What's your shady?
Speaker 1: So my shady moment is related to traveling as well? Okay, yes,
Speaker 1: and you know we traveled, um came home very long
Speaker 1: exhausting trip. You know, you get home late at night,
Speaker 1: you're ready just ready to like, you know, just get
Speaker 1: through the airport and get your bags and go home.
Speaker 1: But no, the custom the US Customs department at Dullest
Speaker 1: Airport wants to have only like four people working when
Speaker 1: they have like twenty thousand boots, right, they're all like
Speaker 1: at least and there's like four people working. Asked me
Speaker 1: how long we stid in line? How are you? Probably not?
Speaker 1: I don't know, um an hour and ten minutes inline
Speaker 1: at customs? Okay. So to put this in perspective, GIZL
Speaker 1: is global What's what's the word global? Global entry? Global?
Speaker 1: Global entry? I'm global entry. So when Robin went right,
Speaker 1: when she went left, I went right, Yes, okay, So
Speaker 1: I went to global entry side. I probably was home
Speaker 1: and y'allre still on that line. You were definitely home
Speaker 1: and we were still on the line. Definitely. That's horrible.
Speaker 1: That's so bad. And I remember this happened to us
Speaker 1: before when we came back from Portugal and you didn't
Speaker 1: have Global entry. Then now I said to myself, this
Speaker 1: is the last time this ship is gonna happen to
Speaker 1: be right, And I totally forgot like about that experience.
Speaker 1: And so when we were on the plane, I was like,
Speaker 1: watch us have to stand in line at customs for
Speaker 1: for an hour. Again, that's what happened. I think Portugal
Speaker 1: was worse. I think we were in line for like
Speaker 1: almost two hours. Portugal took me over the edge because
Speaker 1: it's like, you get back into the country, you want
Speaker 1: to go home exactly, you're tired, You're dealing with the
Speaker 1: time difference, all of that. Like it's so crazy. And
Speaker 1: I thought when it happened coming back from Portugal, I
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, maybe they're just you know, maybe people
Speaker 1: called out sick today. Maybe they're just short staff today,
Speaker 1: not thinking that this is what they do, this is
Speaker 1: how they get down there. Later it's gonna be the
Speaker 1: same thing, same thing. And it's so embarrassing because I'm
Speaker 1: like the country we went to, we walked right and
Speaker 1: we walked right up to the booth, we in and
Speaker 1: we out. So it's like the other countries have their
Speaker 1: customs lines under control. We gotta talked to Biden. Yeah
Speaker 1: or no, this is common. This is a common issue.
Speaker 1: Well when we were in Portugal, that was a Trump issue.
Speaker 1: So I don't even know who can so true do
Speaker 1: we blame? I don't know, because we can't blame Trump, right,
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna blame com we can. It's remnants
Speaker 1: of Trump they haven't Yes, you know what else is
Speaker 1: remnants of Trump? That goddamn gas. But I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: don't don't get me. People are going to tell you
Speaker 1: that that that's Biden's fault. That ain't Biden's fault. Okay,
Speaker 1: But on a happier note, because we did ask you
Speaker 1: guys to let us know what's your happy places. A
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, we talked about our happy places,
Speaker 1: and you guys have informed us what's you're happy places.
Speaker 1: All right, So Summer la Quan, Hi, Summer, you said, hi, ladies, Kuan.
Speaker 1: I can't say lkuon, but that's her name, Summer Lakuan. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Alright, So anyway, she says, high, ladies,
Speaker 1: I love you both so much, thanks for being so
Speaker 1: entertaining and always so authentic. My happy place is in
Speaker 1: the hot yoga studio. I know it sounds crazy to
Speaker 1: be happy in a place where you're gonna work and
Speaker 1: sweat your tail off, but I'm obsessed. I always feel
Speaker 1: so good afterwards. Sweaty, yes, but it is cleansing and
Speaker 1: a cathartic feeling I love. Wait a minute, her name
Speaker 1: is not Summer la Quan, it's Summer Stewart. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: Summer but up topic, says some of Lakwan at the
Speaker 1: bottom of says something she got married. Maybe her middle
Speaker 1: name is LaQuan Kan Stewart. I don't know, but summer.
Speaker 1: I love that. I love the yoga being your happy place. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: and hot yoga that definitely is like it is so
Speaker 1: hard in like hot and sweaty, but you feel so
Speaker 1: good at I haven't done yoga in a minute. I
Speaker 1: haven't done it a a long time, and I need to,
Speaker 1: that's for sure. Maybe my back won't be hurting. Yes,
Speaker 1: but you're gonna blame it on the mattress. But we
Speaker 1: all know what it is, so let's see, all right.
Speaker 1: So Lisa Lagos or like Legos, Lisa from Maryland says, Hi, ladies,
Speaker 1: I was just listening listening to episode forty eight where
Speaker 1: you were talking about your happy place. Without a doubt,
Speaker 1: my happy place is my large soaking bathtub. I love that.
Speaker 1: I light a candle, throwing either a bath bomb or
Speaker 1: bath salts, a glass of wine and boom boost in
Speaker 1: happy place. I love that. Can so do you soak
Speaker 1: in a bathtub? Just do you do? Can I tell
Speaker 1: you that I've been in my house for almost a
Speaker 1: year now and I have a nice big bathtub and
Speaker 1: I've never been in it. That's terrible, that's bad. I
Speaker 1: need to make an effort. Yes, um, I think my
Speaker 1: mama said, you gotta soak behind you, yes you coachi, Yeah,
Speaker 1: gotta let it marinate. Yes, I mean that. I think
Speaker 1: that's just. I think it's Yes, what's wrong with just
Speaker 1: but it's shower and it's a nice feeling though, just
Speaker 1: to be in to relax exactly. Yeah, I'm going to
Speaker 1: make an effort to do that for sure. Okay. I
Speaker 1: got one more so this. Mark Johnson wrote us and said, Hello,
Speaker 1: one of my happy places is running. Oh yes, okay, Mark,
Speaker 1: I didn't know. I didn't know I was going to
Speaker 1: read that. But this is good, Okay, to know that
Speaker 1: I control every aspect of every run, from lace up
Speaker 1: the shoes to the speed, and the route recharges me
Speaker 1: away from home. Any coastal scene is a happy place.
Speaker 1: Looking out across a large body of water with nothing
Speaker 1: else in sight brings about mental peace. Keep the laughs coming,
Speaker 1: Marcus from San Antonio. Thank you, Mark. So I've always said,
Speaker 1: and I didn't say this when we talked about our
Speaker 1: happy place, but like the gem, like working out is
Speaker 1: a happy place for me. So you run like you
Speaker 1: do the treadmill? Right, do you run outside? I don't.
Speaker 1: Sometimes my kids try to get me, well, just a
Speaker 1: door because the door was a little shady. She tries
Speaker 1: to get me to run outside because you know, she
Speaker 1: could run outside longer than me, so she just tries to, like,
Speaker 1: you know, be mean. But I take a treadmill, I
Speaker 1: mean a running treadmill class, and it is it's amazing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you get off that treadmill and you feel like you
Speaker 1: can conquer the world. See, I hate the treadmill. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I can't. I'm sorry I can't agree. I like I
Speaker 1: do win. I decided to move my my ass. I
Speaker 1: like to run outside like I love. It has to
Speaker 1: be And this is so crazy, Like I will pick
Speaker 1: the hottest day of the summer to go for a run,
Speaker 1: like I just want to like sweat and feel hot
Speaker 1: and like feel like I'm doing something. I don't want
Speaker 1: to run if it's like cold outside, or if it's
Speaker 1: like like today right now it's like cloudy and overcast.
Speaker 1: I don't want to run out. You want hot, I
Speaker 1: want the sun out on me. Okay, I want to
Speaker 1: come back and I got tan lines everywhere. Okay, girl, Okay, yes,
Speaker 1: I like I like that. Okay, So we're gonna switch
Speaker 1: gears a little bit because we gotta talk about this
Speaker 1: NBA playoffs and we don't really care who's winning, but
Speaker 1: we do care what's happening in the stands. I know,
Speaker 1: And it's quite possible, just for um, you know, I
Speaker 1: don't full disclosure, it's quite possible that the playoffs are
Speaker 1: over by now because if the Golden State Warriors actually
Speaker 1: they should be over regardless, and that'll do it. It's over.
Speaker 1: The Golden State Warriors return to a familiar place. They're
Speaker 1: on top of the NBA world. The fourth title of
Speaker 1: eight years is still very much alive. Yes, okay, but
Speaker 1: when somebody has won, and we don't know yet someone
Speaker 1: has one, we don't know yet. But we need to
Speaker 1: be talking about what's happening in the stands because it
Speaker 1: is tea brewing honey with the Steph Curry parents. So
Speaker 1: Robin peeped because I haven't peeped yet. Um, steps Mom,
Speaker 1: what's her name? Sonia's boo? Yeah, but I've peeped the
Speaker 1: dad's boo. So Sonia, Sonia had the boo first, so
Speaker 1: when they like split, I remember reading that she was

Speaker 1: on Instagram where people like put two and two together,
Speaker 1: like wait a minute, right, there goes sign it with Steven,
Speaker 1: and there goes down with the lady, and then and
Speaker 1: then they show the family picture of the white married
Speaker 1: couple when they were married, and it's like it's definitely them.
Speaker 1: You can't say that this is like, this is not

Speaker 1: keep you anonymous. But if you can tell us, like
Speaker 1: what part are they? Are they near each other or
Speaker 1: they on the other side of the arena? Are they
Speaker 1: giving each other dirty looks? Right? Or are they just
Speaker 1: like so super happy? I want to say, I feel
Speaker 1: like Sonia looks happy. I don't know Dell is happy. Okay.
Speaker 1: Is there a couple that you know that you would
Speaker 1: like to do that with? Ye, Like why I can
Speaker 1: go be with so and so and you want the guy?
Speaker 1: Maybe it just and what's his wife's saying? I can't remember.
Speaker 1: Maybe sonya a yeah, but that's just easy. We gotta
Speaker 1: find something definitely not Johnny Depp and Amber heard Amber
Speaker 1: stop talking. Stop talking, Amber, I got your lost. Just
Speaker 1: stop talking. But anyway, moving on, okay, speaking of the finals.
Speaker 1: I love seeing jay Z and Blue at the final.
Speaker 1: That was the cutest thing. It was like it kind
Speaker 1: of made me feel like, yeah, I was happy to
Speaker 1: see Blue and Beyonce and I love Beyonce, but I
Speaker 1: was so happy to see her and the way she
Speaker 1: treated her dad like dad, get up off, met me,
Speaker 1: stop kissing me. It was yes, Okay, that was everything.
Speaker 1: First of all, her hair was everything. That was so cute.
Speaker 1: Um and she is just like she has this like
Speaker 1: cute little swag. Yes. Can you imagine being Blue Ivy
Speaker 1: and jay Z's daughter is your life? Like I imagine
Speaker 1: it being like you know, Blue clearly has a personality,
Speaker 1: and I imagine that's the personality when you are jay
Speaker 1: Z and Beyonce's child. Yes, yes, that is the person
Speaker 1: so cute and then you just love seeing like the
Speaker 1: daddy daughter moment. Yes, think my daughter to the to
Speaker 1: the gate. Jazy doesn't smile much. He was cheesing from smitten.
Speaker 1: He's so smitten. He was happy to be on a
Speaker 1: hot day with his daughter. Loved every second of you.
Speaker 1: But that hair was everything. Was like he put his
Speaker 1: arm around her and she said, Dad, my hair like Dad, Blue,
Speaker 1: He's not gonna mess your curls out. Your curls are popping.
Speaker 1: But speak up. The Queen be. The Queen Bee has
Speaker 1: dropped some pictures on us. First of all, British fogus.
Speaker 1: I know, of course you know what. Okay, so pictures
Speaker 1: that that photo shoot does everything, of course, like do
Speaker 1: we expect anything less? But I mean, I want to
Speaker 1: say I was I feel like Beyonce fans like, no,
Speaker 1: when it's time for Beyonce to come out of hiding
Speaker 1: that where it was just a short few weeks ago
Speaker 1: where I was like, what is doing something? Yeah, where
Speaker 1: where is she? Something's happening. It's been a little too
Speaker 1: quiet and um, and we haven't seen her and we
Speaker 1: haven't seen her and I'm expecting something. And then yes,
Speaker 1: and then it was like a week later, it was
Speaker 1: like she removed her picture from her Instagram, her Instagram
Speaker 1: profile pictures, and then had the people all the internet
Speaker 1: in a frenzy and I was frenzy, was like I
Speaker 1: knew it something was coming. It was like it was
Speaker 1: too much time has has gone. So yes, So today
Speaker 1: she she dropped the Vogue, the British Spoke and she
Speaker 1: also says she's got an album coming out a lot
Speaker 1: of twenty nine, a lot of twenty nine, and so
Speaker 1: we know what that means. Tickets to the concert will
Speaker 1: drop probably today, yes, and I'll be buying it and
Speaker 1: guess what it can be. And I'm gonna adele, I'm
Speaker 1: going to go because we know it's going to happen.
Speaker 1: You know it's not going to get canceled, and we
Speaker 1: know that Beyonce is not going to stand up there
Speaker 1: and be like, oh the whole time, right, I will
Speaker 1: not complain about whatever the price is. I want to complain.
Speaker 1: I'll just buying the ticket. Yes, yeah, I think I'll
Speaker 1: be there too, So yes, let's coordinate. We will coordinate.
Speaker 1: But Cal, you know, Cal is a big cow. You
Speaker 1: know who does Who's a good friend of mine, who
Speaker 1: does my hair. He is a big Beyonce fan. So
Speaker 1: he's been calling me for weeks like just that what
Speaker 1: you think Beyonce is doing? What you think? What you think?
Speaker 1: I'm like Beyonce, It's going to tell us when she's
Speaker 1: good and ready, I know. But okay, So I want
Speaker 1: to say this though about Beyonce and her music. And
Speaker 1: Beyonce is getting older. She's in her forties now, and
Speaker 1: you have to wonder how long can she sustain all
Speaker 1: of the wear and tear on her body? You know,
Speaker 1: like so a lot of her music requires her to
Speaker 1: dance really hard, really energetically enthusiastically. You just have to
Speaker 1: wonder how long can she sustain that? So my thought
Speaker 1: process about Beyonce is like she needs to start making
Speaker 1: like classic songs like Allow Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Anita Baker.
Speaker 1: I think we have though, No, she's got to shake
Speaker 1: her ass to them. Oh classic like not, you don't
Speaker 1: have to dance that hard. She has to start like
Speaker 1: you know, as long as she can make her dance songs, fine, yes,
Speaker 1: she also I think my opinion that she needs to
Speaker 1: start pivoting and putting out some nice classic like strong
Speaker 1: R and B soul classics that she, when she's sixty
Speaker 1: five can stand on stage and just belt out. I
Speaker 1: think you're a hater, Robin, because I'm trying to look
Speaker 1: out for her. Well, look at Tina Turner. Tina Turner
Speaker 1: did her Tina Turner dance until she was what damn
Speaker 1: me had? Well that's true, okay, so we we call
Speaker 1: that be do be until she wants to stop. But
Speaker 1: how do we like Tina Turner is like a freaking
Speaker 1: like she's not real. Know that Tina Turner is not real.
Speaker 1: Beyonce is like really, she's a virgo, She's a robot.
Speaker 1: She's going to dance until she feels like stopping. So
Speaker 1: you think when Beyonce sent she's gonna be if she
Speaker 1: feels like it. Crazy and left, Yes, and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be up on stage with her like and then I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell Beyonce Robs a hater. You know, I'm not hating.
Speaker 1: I'm not hating. I'm just asking her to diversify a
Speaker 1: little bit more. She has. She has some slow songs halo.
Speaker 1: I don't like those at that's the problem. I don't
Speaker 1: like her slow songs. I don't want to hear if
Speaker 1: I were a boot I don't want to hear that.
Speaker 1: I can't come to the count. I see your halo. Hello, Hello,
Speaker 1: let me say you okayo, Hey, I don't want to
Speaker 1: hear that, Beyonce. This is Robin. This is not just
Speaker 1: see Beyonce. Your true fans can be honest with you.
Speaker 1: They don't just accept everything that you do. I'm telling you, Beyonce,
Speaker 1: we need to just subject. This is gotten out a
Speaker 1: hand o. My god, is the Bee half courter comfort?
Speaker 1: Oh no, don't do that to the guys. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to help. Okay, We're gonna move on because there is
Speaker 1: an epidemic. I'm trying to help. I'm trying to help guys.
Speaker 1: We're moving on, having on, Beyonce. I'm moving on, Okay,
Speaker 1: so that something happened to in the streets, and I'm disturbed.

Speaker 1: So does your how does your dad say yellow? Now?
Speaker 1: Like that? Oh? He says, like this is an important day, okay,
Speaker 1: because it is actually June June taine people, and we
Speaker 1: have I think it's a national holiday now right, it
Speaker 1: is a yes, it is an observed holiday. So like
Speaker 1: our male will not come today, okay, right, So for
Speaker 1: the people that don't know what it is, we're about
Speaker 1: to tell y'all. Okay. So Juneteenth commemorates the events of
Speaker 1: June nineteenth, eighteen sixty five, when Union General Gordon Granger
Speaker 1: arrived in Galveson, Texas to informed enslaved African Americans that
Speaker 1: the Civil War had ended and they were free. And
Speaker 1: on June seventeenthe oh, it officially became a federal holiday. Okay.
Speaker 1: So how long did that take the longest time? From
Speaker 1: six okay to do this? Mad here, so this is ridiculous.
Speaker 1: A hundred years to nineteen sixty five. It's another thirty five.
Speaker 1: That's a hundred thirty five plus six hundred fifty six years.
Speaker 1: It took us for us to calculate finally, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: did on my calculate. Robin did that at her head.
Speaker 1: I used my calculade. Anyway, we got to the same number. Okay,
Speaker 1: So like, why did texts so long for them to
Speaker 1: give us our props? And well, unfortunately, had the whole
Speaker 1: George Floyd situation that happened, this would this holiday would
Speaker 1: not exist, It would not you know, like maybe it
Speaker 1: would have taken something else for you know, our society
Speaker 1: to kind of wake up on what's been going on.
Speaker 1: And unfortunately, someone else would have had to have, you know,
Speaker 1: experienced something as tragic as George Floyd for the you know,
Speaker 1: this to happen. But yeah, this one that happened had
Speaker 1: George Floyd not been murdered police officers in front of
Speaker 1: the world, right in front of the world, is actually
Speaker 1: for everyone to see that man get murdered. And this
Speaker 1: is this holiday came about after you know, I don't
Speaker 1: I don't want to call it. What was the response
Speaker 1: to George Floyd, Like the protest not protests. I don't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: black lives matter that everybody started protesting from in this country,
Speaker 1: and reckoning, I'm gonna call it a reckoning, okay, Dave right,
Speaker 1: Oh it was a revolution maybe revolution, maybe like a
Speaker 1: social reckoning. Yes, So had that not happened, you know,
Speaker 1: we would not be celebrating it. But I do want
Speaker 1: to say I am a member of Delta Signment Data,
Speaker 1: so already incorporated, and my alumni chapter always celebrated Juneteenth. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we always have, Like we always have an event in
Speaker 1: the community celebrating Junetee as long as I can remember,
Speaker 1: we've been doing that. So this is the day that
Speaker 1: we have licensed black people to just have a barbecue, right, Like,
Speaker 1: not that we need a reason because we have it
Speaker 1: every Saturday, but we we haven in a queue today, right,
Speaker 1: so let's see. Okay, So this year, it says also
Speaker 1: not every state is participating now because there's some states
Speaker 1: out there Republicans that are still not Okay, So it
Speaker 1: says nearly twenty states are expected to close state offices,
Speaker 1: which is great, and give most of their public employees
Speaker 1: time off. At least six states officially adopted the holiday
Speaker 1: over the past few months, so this is good, So
Speaker 1: it's probably so, I guess it's twenty six states now,
Speaker 1: so Connecticut, Colorado, Georgia, Maryland, South Dakota, Utah, and Washington
Speaker 1: have also adopted the holiday and are closing their state offices.
Speaker 1: So shout out to Maryland, ho Agan, Thank you, Hogan.
