Speaker 1: binging and I think I mentioned this before a national
Speaker 1: geographic documentary called Narco Wars. Okay, so the first season
Speaker 1: was all about like Pablo and Chappo and all them
Speaker 1: people over there in Mexico and in Colombia. Second season
Speaker 1: is about um the mafia, the Sicilian mafia all that.
Speaker 1: So like I didn't know where they just stopped episodes

Speaker 1: you're watching them like weeks a week or you're bench.
Speaker 1: I was bending them, okay, And I don't think I
Speaker 1: caught up, Like it's been several weeks and I do
Speaker 1: not have a new episode, and I was all in,
Speaker 1: like I was in, like chopping at the base. I
Speaker 1: wonder what happened. I don't know what happened. But National
Speaker 1: Geographic y'all shady, y'all figure it out and give me
Speaker 1: some give me some more episodes because Narco Wars is everything. Okay,
Speaker 1: I need to watch that. Yeah, no, it's really really good. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's good. Um, so y'all being shady, do better. M mmmmm.
Speaker 1: We don't COVID. No, I don't blame this. It's a documentary.
Speaker 1: I don't blame this on editors had COVID. Okay, editors
Speaker 1: got a little sick. Okay that two weeks of incubation
Speaker 1: or whatever isolation is over, so give me my episodes
Speaker 1: the end. Yes, yes, yes, all right, so mine, I mean, okay,
Speaker 1: so mine, I'm just going to read a shady comment,
Speaker 1: and of course we get plenty of shady comments all
Speaker 1: the week, every day. Um, but yeah, I'm just going
Speaker 1: to just you know, let you know, so, are you
Speaker 1: going to say their name or we're gonna call him
Speaker 1: out or not? We're not calling him out. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't want to say their name, okay, because y'all are
Speaker 1: cause shady people on because clearly this is an account
Speaker 1: created to troll people side troller high. Yes, so the
Speaker 1: account is called I Dot hate dot everyone. You are right?
Speaker 1: So really so it's like, so the person behind this
Speaker 1: page is probably literally like a grandmother, like or you know,
Speaker 1: probably is like, um, you know, someone that you would
Speaker 1: like least expect it, like an HR advisor at Morgan Stanley,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And then they create these
Speaker 1: like fake pages so they mean control people. But they said,
Speaker 1: so I hate everyone hates me? Of course they said
Speaker 1: why the first of all, like I hate everyone you
Speaker 1: typed in my name and hit like you know you
Speaker 1: deliberately went to me to give me this message, which like, okay,
Speaker 1: why are you still on the show? You're boring is
Speaker 1: fuck and have nothing to offer, like what okay, Like
Speaker 1: I I'm not your cup of tea, which is fine,
Speaker 1: I don't you know, you don't hurt my feelings, but
Speaker 1: if I'm boring, like why are you spending your time
Speaker 1: to open Instagram type in my name and leave a message?
Speaker 1: It's weird to me, Like if I don't like someone,
Speaker 1: I'm not going out of my way to tell them
Speaker 1: I don't like them. That's actually beyond shady. Well yeah,
Speaker 1: of course, but it's like, but the sad part is
Speaker 1: that this is so normal for us, like, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: it's all the time. This is all the time. And
Speaker 1: guess what, I think they're hilarious. No, no, well, I
Speaker 1: mean I get a good laugh. I get a good
Speaker 1: chuckle because I'm like, but you spent time to message
Speaker 1: me and you hate me, right, Okay, So we get that,
Speaker 1: And then I actually want to read something on the
Speaker 1: opposite side of the spectrum because this is from Katrina
Speaker 1: Taylor and she said hello. Let me start off by saying,
Speaker 1: I love reasonably shady. Oh Thank you, Katrina. Exclamation point,
Speaker 1: thank you information point. Yes, you and Robin are so
Speaker 1: funny and real. The chemistry between you two is awesome.
Speaker 1: I also watched The Real Housewives of Potomac and love.
Speaker 1: Let me also say, let the hates hate and continue
Speaker 1: living your life to the fullest. Okay, Katrina, Now let
Speaker 1: me get back to the latest episode of Reasonably Shady. See.
Speaker 1: I love that. I love that. I love that, like
Speaker 1: we can balance the good with the bad, and honestly,
Speaker 1: the good far outweighs the bad. So thank you, Katrina,
Speaker 1: Thank you everyone else who has sent us positive messages.
Speaker 1: Those do not fall on deaf ears. Even though we
Speaker 1: are pretty tough and we can tune out the haters. Um.
Speaker 1: It always feels good to receive love. So thank you
Speaker 1: so much for for the love that that means a
Speaker 1: lot to us. It does, it doesn't, especially because you know,
Speaker 1: this whole podcast journey, we didn't know what we were doing.
Speaker 1: We were just kind of jumping into it, and so
Speaker 1: to get like positive feedback by so many people is
Speaker 1: really refreshing. Oh yeah, absolutely, I mean, can I be honest,
Speaker 1: I had never even listened to a podcast before in
Speaker 1: my life, and I was like, I want to do
Speaker 1: a podcast. We should be saying that. Well, no, I
Speaker 1: hadn't even I had never listened to your podcast. Well
Speaker 1: I never listened to a full podcast. But I felt like,
Speaker 1: you know, our dynamic is real enough that people would
Speaker 1: be able to identify, right, absolutely, absolutely yeah, because it's
Speaker 1: I mean literally, this is y'all. Gelle not talk on
Speaker 1: the phone um every day and this is pretty much
Speaker 1: what we do every day. Yes, yes, yes, yes, okay,
Speaker 1: we have so much to talk about that's happening in
Speaker 1: these streets. But first and foremost, I didn't talk about
Speaker 1: my dad, okay, because you know we love Mr. Yes,
Speaker 1: we did, we you know, and he always calls me
Speaker 1: and he talks real slow. And he was like, wait
Speaker 1: when you when they calls, because is how I am
Speaker 1: my dad. I'm like, okay, what is he about to say?
Speaker 1: Like it's like because they do start off so slow,
Speaker 1: and you're like, where's this going? Right now? I take
Speaker 1: so many directions when I see it's him and he
Speaker 1: in my phone as daddy, Um, I'm like, I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's gonna be a long conversation or short conversation.
Speaker 1: It could go either way. Either I'm on the phone
Speaker 1: for an hour or like five minutes. Okay, So I
Speaker 1: just mentally prepared myself, all right, But this the other day,
Speaker 1: he was like, Giselle, um, so I have a couple
Speaker 1: of questions. So I was like, yeah, okay. What he said, so,
Speaker 1: you know these people that are getting but surgeries, and
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, where is this going? He said,
Speaker 1: so how do they recover from that? I mean, how
Speaker 1: do they sit down? The great question? I was like,
Speaker 1: the recovery must be very strange. And I said, I
Speaker 1: don't know IF's strange is the word, daddy? But um,
Speaker 1: I said, you're you're asking me why? Like, I don't
Speaker 1: know why? Yeah. He was like, so, like do they
Speaker 1: just lay on their stomach the whole time? How do
Speaker 1: they do this? Well? So I said, well, from what
Speaker 1: I understand, you get pillows to sit on. Yes. We
Speaker 1: we witnessed that ourselves, yes, yes. And he said okay,
Speaker 1: but then you know you've got to sleep at night
Speaker 1: and all you gotta I guess you gotta make sure
Speaker 1: you can't roll over. My god, he's so concerned. He
Speaker 1: was confined. He like went over this in his mind
Speaker 1: and he was so confused I'm always wondering about the toilet.
Speaker 1: How do you go to the bathroom? I mean, are
Speaker 1: their problems there? You know? I mean like does it
Speaker 1: come out? Does anything come out? Okay? Because right, so
Speaker 1: they have to sit on pillows, and you know, toilets
Speaker 1: are kind of hard, right, So like what if you're
Speaker 1: constipated and you have you just got your butt done,
Speaker 1: and then is that going to like move the feral?
Speaker 1: That's a good question, you know, you know what, so
Speaker 1: many questions and don't think about, like what if you
Speaker 1: you know, whats your butt gets to a certain size? Yes,
Speaker 1: just too much. I'm sorry, it's okay, but no, I've
Speaker 1: heard from men that they don't really like the women
Speaker 1: with the big butts doing it from behind, oh, because
Speaker 1: it's like they can't get indeed, yes, I said you
Speaker 1: want to anybody like me? Yeah? Pretty much? Like I
Speaker 1: think it's in a way, it's pretty. It's pretty to
Speaker 1: look at, right, it's nice to like squeeze and put
Speaker 1: your hand around it. But my dangling, unless you're dangling,
Speaker 1: is like t long. Yes, yes, unless like it's a
Speaker 1: six footer when we don't really want that. I don't
Speaker 1: want that, okay, So but yeah, it's it's problematic. And
Speaker 1: actually I'm lying. Porsche told me this. Porsche said that
Speaker 1: the big butts can be problems for man. She's speaking
Speaker 1: from experience, yes, she she was referring to herself. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was no, but it would it be like I
Speaker 1: regret doing it because I don't think. I don't know
Speaker 1: if she got a budget. I can't. She never said
Speaker 1: she got, but she was just saying big butts is
Speaker 1: a problem for men doing it from behind, got it? Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I was like, okay, I stay my little but right,
Speaker 1: keep it nice and problems I don't want. Okay, So
Speaker 1: your father okay. So so I tried to spain as
Speaker 1: much as I could and for a little bit of
Speaker 1: knowledge that I have, and then I had to walk
Speaker 1: away from the conversation. Yeah yeah, I was like, Dad,
Speaker 1: just tell him start like googling, going on YouTube and
Speaker 1: you know people on YouTube set yes, and you know
Speaker 1: he's he's eighty something years old. He has these he
Speaker 1: has these thoughts. He just wants to be clear. So
Speaker 1: one time, Okay, so my mom has like a big butt,
Speaker 1: just because right, so she has like big hips and
Speaker 1: a big butt. So just this conversation just reminded me
Speaker 1: of something funny. Um. So, there was a story. It
Speaker 1: was like a news story on and I'm sitting in
Speaker 1: the living room with my kids watching it, and it
Speaker 1: was about people going to I don't know, the dr
Speaker 1: or somewhere, you know, Latin America get their butts done
Speaker 1: in America. And my kids this is literally like at
Speaker 1: least five years ago. So they're probably like, you know,
Speaker 1: Carter might have been six whatever, I can't remember his
Speaker 1: card or a cory. So they said, so is that
Speaker 1: what GI did? They got their grandmother had a BBL.
Speaker 1: She had a b the house, not did grandma have
Speaker 1: a bloodchas And what are you saying? I died laughing?
Speaker 1: I died laughing. I died laught. Okay, this one is
Speaker 1: we have another story. We were playing and talked about
Speaker 1: this at all. Okay, So, and my sister's gonna kill me.
Speaker 1: So my sister is a little larger than you know me,
Speaker 1: and so when my kids were a little and my
Speaker 1: sister came over, they were like, she was like, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to the bathroom and they were like, well,
Speaker 1: where are you going to do that? And so she
Speaker 1: was like the toilet like right there, and they were like, no,
Speaker 1: you can't fit on that. My kids told my sister
Speaker 1: she cannot fit. She was mad. She was like, these
Speaker 1: little run rats are the worst. But they weren't being mean.
Speaker 1: It wasn't like they were trying to be mean. They
Speaker 1: were just like literally thought, okay, so you have to
Speaker 1: have a size. Oh. They just assumed like this toilet
Speaker 1: got bigger, so that if you're was physically bigger than
Speaker 1: you need a bigger toilet. Yeah, tell him the butthole
Speaker 1: is still the same time. Yes, I didn't say that.
Speaker 1: I just said she'll be fine, y'all in mind business,
Speaker 1: she'll be fine. Okay, my sister is gonna kill me.
Speaker 1: I love you. Yes, the kids, the kids be, the
Speaker 1: kids be doing the moment they asked, is that where went?
Speaker 1: I said, oh my god, oh god. Alright, So moving
Speaker 1: on now. Good to know that remember that tragic building
Speaker 1: that collapse in Miami. Can you can't imagine so freaking horrible. Um,
Speaker 1: but great to know that they're going to get compensated.
Speaker 1: I think a judge was saying that they should get
Speaker 1: no less than one fifty million dollars. Wow, Wow, as
Speaker 1: they should? Is that for like like everyone, so they
Speaker 1: would split that thirst individual individual literally. Yes. Okay, so
Speaker 1: first of all, you've got not only people that passed away,
Speaker 1: but the people who lost their their built, you know,
Speaker 1: their their home. Yes, because that was the other side
Speaker 1: of the building, right, So that's over. It was like
Speaker 1: eighty units that collapsed, so clearly like the building it's
Speaker 1: it was you know, probably like over a hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty units, yes, at least, So we're saying that a
Speaker 1: billion dollars units are going to get a hundred fifty
Speaker 1: million dollars. I'm mad at it. No, oh yeah, I
Speaker 1: would be so in my ass off. Oh absolutely, because like,
Speaker 1: first of all, the people, the human beings who overlooked
Speaker 1: the cracks and the water, and I mean, hm, they
Speaker 1: they must honestly feel horrible, Like I couldn't even imagine
Speaker 1: how they can just like, like they probably need to
Speaker 1: be institutionalized. I couldn't imagine if that was me and
Speaker 1: dropped the ball that badly. Yeah, I mean, and the
Speaker 1: building from what I understand, was not that old. It
Speaker 1: was like what forty years But I shouldn't be falling down, no, right,
Speaker 1: it shouldn't. So so I guess you know the problem
Speaker 1: was from construction. But it's also like the water, like
Speaker 1: being so close to the beach and the sand, and
Speaker 1: the erosion is a little bit higher, but it's like
Speaker 1: but still like, And I would be worried if I
Speaker 1: lived in any of the other buildings down there. Oh yeah, No,
Speaker 1: nobody is buying a thing down there, right right, But
Speaker 1: then you have people that capitalize on tragedies and by
Speaker 1: all the property and then charge people a whole bunch. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm sure Tom Girardi is wishing Tom Girardi will not
Speaker 1: be an attorney in these Yes, but that's not happening. Sorry, Erica,
Speaker 1: rob that was robbing at me. I mean, okay, moving on.
Speaker 1: I have been chomping at the bit to talk about
Speaker 1: this whole I want to go to space, and I'm
Speaker 1: a rich white man and this is what I'm gonna do. Now,
Speaker 1: there's a caveat to this. My father worked for NASA.
Speaker 1: Get out for thirty years. He retired from NASA. What
Speaker 1: did he do for NASA? He um? I think some
Speaker 1: of it was a bit um top secret because he
Speaker 1: would give me. Okay, how do you go from like
Speaker 1: civil rights, yes, to working for NASA? I don't know.
Speaker 1: One day when you see him, ask him. I don't know.
Speaker 1: He told me if forgot, so he was doing something
Speaker 1: for them anyway. So I was talking to him. I
Speaker 1: was very curious about, you know, what these guys are doing.
Speaker 1: What his thoughts were about the whole They're going into
Speaker 1: outer space. And he's like, first of all, gisell, let me. Okay,
Speaker 1: so we're talking about Richard Branson and we're talking about
Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos and Jeff Bezos, you're on my list, but
Speaker 1: please do not cancel my Amazon account because I need it. Okay,
Speaker 1: but I'm very mad at you. Okay, we're gonna get
Speaker 1: back to you. So my dad said that, no, just
Speaker 1: that ain't going into outer space. They're going into inner space,
Speaker 1: like the edge of space. Yes, like going into outer
Speaker 1: spaces like you are flying around the entire Earth. They're
Speaker 1: not doing that. So they're literally just it's a glorified airplane. Yes,
Speaker 1: they're going like a little bit higher than what airplanes do.
Speaker 1: And they're spending millions of dollars to do this. Yes,
Speaker 1: what's the point Okay, because to say that you are
Speaker 1: because because white men have small penises, and this is
Speaker 1: the way that they can prove that they have big dips. Okay,
Speaker 1: they don't. It's a pissing context, yes it is. Okay,
Speaker 1: So let's just talk about Richard Branson. Because you want
Speaker 1: to charge two people two dollars to do this? Would
Speaker 1: you want to go Robin? I'm asking you, do you
Speaker 1: do you have any interest in going up into space? No,
Speaker 1: especially if I'm going to the edge of inner space,
Speaker 1: Like what's the point and you're literally on the brink
Speaker 1: of disintegrating. Yes, right, but you're so you're going up
Speaker 1: to get to a place of weightlessness, right, and then
Speaker 1: you're coming back down. Right. That's dumb, that's dumb a
Speaker 1: f But if you're a billionaire, right, then you this
Speaker 1: is what you do. But even if I'm a billionaire,
Speaker 1: which I might be one day, stay tuned. Um, just kidding,
Speaker 1: and akay, thank you, Um I have I'm still not
Speaker 1: spending that two and fifty two go up. I have
Speaker 1: no interest in you might die. It's too risky, it's
Speaker 1: way too risky. But I just think they're like they
Speaker 1: had to have been um comfortable with the fact that
Speaker 1: they might die doing that. Yes, you don't say like
Speaker 1: that's that's such a risky thing to do. Well, Branson.
Speaker 1: I do know. I went through a whole lot of
Speaker 1: Um yeah, he did a bunch of training, and Basis
Speaker 1: might have done it too, But anyway, I just think
Speaker 1: it's dumb as fun. But that's just my opinion. Okay.
Speaker 1: Now Branson came back and he was like, I had
Speaker 1: an eye opening experience. This has changed my life and
Speaker 1: I was so excited. Yes, and I want is that
Speaker 1: a British accent? And I want it's not? Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: whirred accid Okay, anyway, and I would like to use
Speaker 1: my time and resources to change the world for the better. Okay, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm for that, like that spin Okay, So Basos with his,
Speaker 1: I run Amazon self with his I don't pay taxes
Speaker 1: and I'm a billionaire self, which for the record, pisses
Speaker 1: me the f off because I pads and my taxes
Speaker 1: make me mad. I mean, I'm very angry every time
Speaker 1: I pay these taxes. There's another housewife that os taxes
Speaker 1: how much? How much? To read three millions? Her husband?
Speaker 1: Yeah that just came out. Okay, that came out the
Speaker 1: other day the other day. Um okay, so AOC who
Speaker 1: I love? Do we love the AOC, Oh, yeah, everybody
Speaker 1: know who she is, Alexandria Something something Cortex people. She
Speaker 1: has something to say. So she was like, so you know,
Speaker 1: Basos came down and he was like, UM, I would
Speaker 1: like to thank all of my Amazon employees and for
Speaker 1: everyone who's used a zon for sending me off into space.
Speaker 1: I would like to thank you all because because filling
Speaker 1: my bank account, yes, so that I can go to space. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's what we said that we said. No one said
Speaker 1: let's buy stuff from Amazon so Jeff can go to space.
Speaker 1: Nobody said that. I didn't when I bought all of
Speaker 1: my toilet paper off the Amazon because you need to
Speaker 1: wipe your ass there we go, ye, not to send
Speaker 1: your basils as to space. Okay, So AOC said, let
Speaker 1: me get this man all the way together. So she said, yes,
Speaker 1: Amazon workers did pay for this with lower wages, union busting,
Speaker 1: a frenzied and inhumane workplace, and delivery drivers not having
Speaker 1: health insurance during a pandemic, and Amazon customers are paying
Speaker 1: for it with Amazon abusing their market power to her
Speaker 1: small business sex basils. Take that and stick it up
Speaker 1: your basis ass. Now, don't don't cancel my account. By
Speaker 1: the way, okay. So my I just feel like, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: we're a couple of things. One. I feel like, clearly
Speaker 1: he is in a bubble. He has no idea what
Speaker 1: like regular average people do and how they live. Clearly
Speaker 1: has no idea what his company is doing. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: because if Amazon is so such a big company that
Speaker 1: like it should be a great place to work, but cannot.
Speaker 1: His retention and his turnover is like turnover is awful. Yes, right,
Speaker 1: I've read a report. It's like they intentionally set people
Speaker 1: up to like leave the company so they don't have
Speaker 1: to keep paying the more. So something crazy, insane. It's insane.
Speaker 1: And then he decides, I guess because he saw what
Speaker 1: Branson did and he has to one up and act
Speaker 1: like his penis is bigger, but I know it's not.
Speaker 1: And he said, okay, I'm going to give a hundred
Speaker 1: million dollars to Jose Andrez is that his name, Jose Andrew,
Speaker 1: the man with a bunch of restaurants who we know
Speaker 1: during the pandemic fed so many people. He did such
Speaker 1: such such great things, And to Van Jones of Seen
Speaker 1: and I'm giving him a hundred million dollars too, because
Speaker 1: Van before we be shady Van has Um. His charity
Speaker 1: is like he helps for criminal justice reform, yes, and
Speaker 1: giving it to those in giving it. No, no, he's
Speaker 1: giving it to those individuals. And he said, I trust
Speaker 1: that these two guys they had a whole press conference,
Speaker 1: will do right by the money that I'm giving, meaning
Speaker 1: they will use it for their charities. We have to
Speaker 1: awardies today. They each beginning a hundred million dollars to
Speaker 1: direct to the charities of their choices they see fit.
Speaker 1: No bureaucracy, no committees, notice, They just do what they want.
Speaker 1: They can give it all to their own charity, or
Speaker 1: they can share the wealth. It's up to them. Listen,
Speaker 1: how about how about you use a hundred million of
Speaker 1: the two hundred million that you gave to fix your
Speaker 1: damn company? Right? How about pay the Amazon workers? Okay,
Speaker 1: so a long story short. Van Jonson is looking kind
Speaker 1: of cute these days. A man that you know, well
Speaker 1: anywhere's nice suits. He wears nice smooths and you don't know,
Speaker 1: I like a brother with a suit. I mean, so
Speaker 1: there's rumors that you know, there's something going on between
Speaker 1: him and Kim I saw Kardashian. I don't know if
Speaker 1: that's true, but it might be true now that he
Speaker 1: has a hundred million. Not that Kim is a gold
Speaker 1: digger because she has her own money exactly, but she
Speaker 1: wants people to be on her level. That is true.
Speaker 1: That is true. That's true. She needs his money, but
Speaker 1: she needs him to have his own money. Yes, but
Speaker 1: now he's looking I'm sure Van is looking at Anderson
Speaker 1: Cooper like and what what you got to say now, Cooper? Huh.
Speaker 1: Sometimes dreams come true. Sometimes dreams come true, and the
Speaker 1: headlines around the world should be anything's possible if you
Speaker 1: believe that is insane. Okay, that basis that made no sense.
Speaker 1: I mean in theory it makes sense. But it's just
Speaker 1: like if you're gonna just give away money like that,
Speaker 1: like have a plan set up. I mean, I just
Speaker 1: it was very weird. It was very I'm trying to
Speaker 1: outdo you, Branson, and I'm trying to distract from the
Speaker 1: fact that I'm just going to space for no reason,
Speaker 1: for no reason, for eleven minutes. So how much did
Speaker 1: that how much did Bezos space trip? First of all,
Speaker 1: he was in like a hut, right, and then Brandson
Speaker 1: was in like a souped up airplane, like, which one
Speaker 1: you want to take? You don't want to take the
Speaker 1: souped up air airplane? Yes, right, I don't want to
Speaker 1: be up. And he was like in a bubble and
Speaker 1: like it looks so weird. It was a hubble. You're
Speaker 1: in a hubble, Basels, Please don't cancel my account. Okay,
Speaker 1: So this has inspired little oozy vert because now this
Speaker 1: food is trying to buy a planet. He's trying to
Speaker 1: buy a planet. He um, a little oozy. I don't
Speaker 1: know what you're saying. I know that you're a rapper,
Speaker 1: little oozy vert. Um. I don't want these things that
Speaker 1: these white men are doing, Little Oozi vert to inspire
Speaker 1: you to do something kind of crazy, like by a
Speaker 1: planet and as a who sell the planet that you
Speaker 1: want to buy? Right? I just answer that from right?
Speaker 1: How do you how do you take ownership of a planet?
Speaker 1: I don't that is right. I saw that headline and
Speaker 1: I was like, this is a joke. I'm not like,
Speaker 1: it makes no sense, It makes no sense. How do
Speaker 1: you buy a planet? What are you wanna do with this?
Speaker 1: I don't So just backtrack a little bit. But it's
Speaker 1: so spent five point five billion what to be in
Speaker 1: space for four minutes, so it's like one billion per second,
Speaker 1: minutes million a minute. This fold is a fold. But
Speaker 1: I don't don't cancel my account. I mean, yeah, if
Speaker 1: I'm worth if I'm worth that much, I might do
Speaker 1: something stupid. You might do some stupid like that. But
Speaker 1: I just feel like when you're worth it, like life,
Speaker 1: like you've done everything in life, when you have that
Speaker 1: much money, you've experienced everything to the point where you're
Speaker 1: just like, what else can I do? So? So the
Speaker 1: what else is? Can I go to outer space? What
Speaker 1: else can I do? That? Like regular everyday people can't
Speaker 1: do Yeah? Can I go to my dad called the
Speaker 1: inner space and space? Yes? Can you go to? So
Speaker 1: do you think there's any rodents on inner space? Just
Speaker 1: I mean the way that Australia is dealing with this
Speaker 1: rodent problem, there might be rodents in in inner space
Speaker 1: because I saw an article that a woman was awakened
Speaker 1: out of her sleep in in Australia because they have
Speaker 1: they have like tens of millions of rodents like running
Speaker 1: around the country, the country continent, and the rodent was
Speaker 1: eating her eyeball, eating her when she was sleep. No,
Speaker 1: she wouldn't be open does eyeball if you eat an
Speaker 1: eyeball yea, yeah, it's like if you're sleep the rodent
Speaker 1: was probably like gnawing on her or her her eyeball,
Speaker 1: and maybe it I just amagine right right, I'm throwing
Speaker 1: like how does that happen? I thought rodents were scared
Speaker 1: of people, so like they must be hungry or something.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yes, but apparently the rodent problem in
Speaker 1: Australia is like it's it's overwhelming rodents. That is so disgusting.
Speaker 1: But that reminds me of like my experiences with rodents.
Speaker 1: Have you had experiences with rodents in your house? I
Speaker 1: had one when I was younger, when you were younger,
Speaker 1: and my mother was like, um, I told my dad.
Speaker 1: She was like, this a mouse in the house and
Speaker 1: we're moving. We had lived in a house like twenty years.
Speaker 1: She's like, we're moving. What the hell? Where are we going?
Speaker 1: So my dad was like, I got just under control.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give it. So next thing I know, the
Speaker 1: mouse was gone. Supposedly, I don't know if that is
Speaker 1: your only experience with mice, then like you're lucky because
Speaker 1: I have had. I don't don't. I don't want to
Speaker 1: drink myself because I'm moving to a new house and
Speaker 1: I do not want to drink myself. If I see
Speaker 1: a mouse in my house, I'm just going to die.
Speaker 1: But but okay, So I remember in college I lived
Speaker 1: in the off campus apartment and it was like, you know,
Speaker 1: it wasn't it was it wasn't campus housing. It was
Speaker 1: like literally like okay, I'm a grown up. I'm I'm
Speaker 1: paying like you know, rent to a leasing company. I
Speaker 1: had a room mate, love it. Oh my god. This
Speaker 1: is in college, in like a Delphi so like right
Speaker 1: outside of College Park. I remember it's like you can
Speaker 1: when you start seeing the droppings and you start seeing
Speaker 1: like little you know, pieces of little things being eaten
Speaker 1: through in your apartment, in your apartment. So I remember
Speaker 1: I came home and it was literally like scurrying across
Speaker 1: the stove like can you imagine that? So like as
Speaker 1: like a college and you're like, oh my god, I
Speaker 1: like I'm never going to walk in the kitchen again.
Speaker 1: There's literally mice like they would come through the stove.
Speaker 1: How's the possible through the back of it, like the burners,
Speaker 1: right through the burners, like the holes in the burners,
Speaker 1: and they so they're like scurrying crust the stove and
Speaker 1: they go away and they go like through the burners. Okay,
Speaker 1: so when you just turn the burners on and burn them,
Speaker 1: well they I mean they're gone. But then so they
Speaker 1: you know, they come out when it's like dark and
Speaker 1: and so like you know, so it was like dark,
Speaker 1: but you just could like you could see them like scurrying.
Speaker 1: It was like, oh my god. And then um our
Speaker 1: house that wanted I lived in in my Grandma County,
Speaker 1: we had field mice. Like every year we had field mice, okay,
Speaker 1: and I would be responsible for putting the traps down?
Speaker 1: Why was that your job? What one? You can't do that?
Speaker 1: This man And it's so crazy because he lived in
Speaker 1: you know, in Baltimore City and they were very familiar
Speaker 1: with mince and he I guess he was so traumatized,
Speaker 1: like he just he couldn't have done he So we
Speaker 1: would literally like I would literally put the trap down
Speaker 1: and then wake up in the morning and the mouse
Speaker 1: is on the trap and it's like, who's picking the
Speaker 1: mouse up? Me? Me do better? I was like, this
Speaker 1: is like and and literally it wasn't just one in
Speaker 1: the house, it was one his younger brother, his younger cousin,
Speaker 1: their teammates, their best friend. I was literally in the
Speaker 1: house all the time with like a bunch of dudes,
Speaker 1: and of these dudes could do this. Know, they're like running, screaming,
Speaker 1: like literally want like run so that the mouse would
Speaker 1: be like in the kitchen on the trap, can't go anywhere,
Speaker 1: stuck right, it's on the trap. And he would like,
Speaker 1: you know you like, I can't this, this podcast is over.
Speaker 1: I can't take anymore this conversation. This is the best
Speaker 1: total mess, all right. He would walk in the kitchen
Speaker 1: and see the mouse and it runs and run all
Speaker 1: the way to the top of the steps. But what
Speaker 1: is the What I do know from this mouse situation
Speaker 1: is there aren't there traps that it goes in a
Speaker 1: thing and you don't see it there. Yeah, there's different ones.
Speaker 1: So you know it's the one where it like snaps
Speaker 1: on it breaks a neck. It's the one that where
Speaker 1: the sticky one like I would always use sticky ones,
Speaker 1: um the ones. I can't take this anymore, Oh my god, Okay,
Speaker 1: have one more mouse story, okay, and then we're moving on.
Speaker 1: When I was in high school, so we lived so
Speaker 1: my parents house is like you know, definitely in a field.
Speaker 1: So a mouse got into my car? What and would
Speaker 1: like so I noticed it because I saw I had
Speaker 1: all these napkin little pieces of napkins torn up in
Speaker 1: my glove. But how does it get in your car?
Speaker 1: How do how does the mouse get in your car? Everything?
Speaker 1: They get through the smallest things, such your car is secured.
Speaker 1: But they like they would climb through the through the
Speaker 1: like underneath it and just climb through everything. Let me
Speaker 1: tell you what this freaking mouse or mice did in
Speaker 1: my car. So it would go through like the the
Speaker 1: in like the I don't even know the term of
Speaker 1: the car, okay, so like the bones of the car.
Speaker 1: I used that we as we used to have a
Speaker 1: dog and the dog food would be you know, in
Speaker 1: the little bowl in the garage. That's the problem probably,
Speaker 1: And so the mice would take the dog food, climb
Speaker 1: in my car and put it at the top like
Speaker 1: so you know where like the button where like you
Speaker 1: would pressed for like your light or your sunroof, right
Speaker 1: right in front of you, like above the mirror. So
Speaker 1: the mice were taking the dog food, the little pellets
Speaker 1: of dog food, climbing up, putting it at the top
Speaker 1: of my car, So like if I hit the top
Speaker 1: of my car, you just hear dog food shaking? What
Speaker 1: it was? So these are smart mice. What was the
Speaker 1: point of the mice doing that? Maybe because that's where
Speaker 1: they would like hide their food, and so they were
Speaker 1: like eating. They were probably like storing their food up there,
Speaker 1: eating it. Like literally I would hit the top of
Speaker 1: my car and you could just hear, like you you
Speaker 1: would hear the dog food rattling. I've never heard of
Speaker 1: anything like this before. My So, do you get a
Speaker 1: new car at that point? Like? What? What? What? Does?
Speaker 1: How do we get into this? Do I hope you
Speaker 1: got a new car because this sounds like can't I
Speaker 1: gotta got some story. Um, I can't remember what we
Speaker 1: did to solve that problem. But yeah, it literally was Okay,
Speaker 1: mice are discussed. Okay, we're gonna we're gonna move on.
Speaker 1: My little story clearly was not anything in comparison to Yeah,
Speaker 1: why do you have one experience with mice? Well, when
Speaker 1: I when I first when I first moved up first house,
Speaker 1: and but that's like when I moved back here, I
Speaker 1: had just not a mouse in here. Okay, it's not
Speaker 1: even Okay, So there the I would have a guy
Speaker 1: come and like spray the house and all that so
Speaker 1: that I would not have these troubles. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm surprised you don't have any out here. Okay, So people,
Speaker 1: we're super excited because we put on our Instagram and
Speaker 1: we put on all of our socials a question okay,

Speaker 1: back in my ex. So clear. You know, most y'all
Speaker 1: know that I've been with one since we were in
Speaker 1: high school. So like, um, I'm talking about him. So
Speaker 1: when he you know, right out of college, he's feeling himself,
Speaker 1: he's doing whatever things that would make a woman mad. Yes,
Speaker 1: and I tried to run him over with my car. Okay,
Speaker 1: what's he? So he's walking and you're like, he was

Speaker 1: have been gone and I would have been in jail, yes, yea,
Speaker 1: and y'all would have never met me, right, Okay, so
Speaker 1: I'm glad you didn't. All right. So I this was when,
Speaker 1: let me see, I was like out of college. I
Speaker 1: was seeing this guy for a while, and you know,
Speaker 1: I had no business seeing him because he was a
Speaker 1: hot mess. I knew he was a mess when I

Speaker 1: I wait until he went to work. He had a
Speaker 1: roommate at the time. Wait until he went to work,
Speaker 1: and then I came back around to the house because
Speaker 1: I knew he wasn't there, and I, you know, the
Speaker 1: roommate answered the door and he was like, you know so,
Speaker 1: so it was like here gall and I was like
Speaker 1: I know. So I was like, I just need to

Speaker 1: my ex of five and a half years broke up
Speaker 1: with me in October. I found out in addition to
Speaker 1: cheating on me with his therapists, our next door neighbor,
Speaker 1: and a woman on tender, he left me for a
Speaker 1: fifty year old woman. Damn. He's thirty four mm married
Speaker 1: and he met So the woman is married and he
Speaker 1: met her on Ashley Madison during the height of the quarantine.
Speaker 1: I didn't even know that was going on during the
Speaker 1: height of the quarantine, all right. I found out three
Speaker 1: weeks ago they are still dating. So I found her
Speaker 1: on Venmo and Venmo requested her five thousand dollars or
Speaker 1: being a cheating sea word. Now that's funny to me.
Speaker 1: That is funny to me. Let me tell you something, Lauren,
Speaker 1: you're funny. Okay. Now, if you send somebody or request,
Speaker 1: they ain't gonna send you the money. So I don't
Speaker 1: even know how you got back at your ex. You
Speaker 1: sent a request. She is not going to send you
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars. Okay, that's not happening. So it's even
Speaker 1: more funny. And honestly, the fifth year old woman needs
Speaker 1: to be sending she needs no Laura needs to be
Speaker 1: sending the fifth year old woman five thousand dollars for
Speaker 1: taking him off her hands. This is true. This is true,
Speaker 1: This is true. Okay, do you have one? Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: let me read one. Okay, that's funny. Oh my god. Okay.
Speaker 1: So the question we put out guys to you all
Speaker 1: that you all responded to us. Tell us what's the
Speaker 1: worst thing you've done to get back at your Okay,
Speaker 1: so Taylor said, I climbed up on top of his
Speaker 1: Porsche with my stilettos, scratched it all up and piste
Speaker 1: on the windshield. I hope that piss peeled the paint off.
Speaker 1: That listen, but can you imagine that? So you pull
Speaker 1: down your pants right squatted like I want like, did
Speaker 1: anyone see you do this? Where are you doing that? Right?
Speaker 1: And then and did the p get on YouTube? Okay,
Speaker 1: so you're on top. We're just still. We're just to
Speaker 1: let us you're talented, and then you be that's fun.
Speaker 1: And then and then how did you white? But did

Speaker 1: why are you gonna do that? Now? The man gonna
Speaker 1: be broke. You're messing with his funds? Okay, don't do that?
Speaker 1: All right? So this one I really like. Okay, So
Speaker 1: the question is what did you do to get back
Speaker 1: at your ex? And this bad bitch saying I succeeded
Speaker 1: where he often said I would fail. Best revenge ever
Speaker 1: and also good for me and for my family X
Speaker 1: and erased goods. Yes, okay, so that was from I
Speaker 1: want to definitely get for a shout out. That was Carmenia.
Speaker 1: The Carmenia. You know what that is the best Beyonce said,
Speaker 1: ain't that the best revenge? Your paper is your best revenge.
Speaker 1: So when your ex is like acting like an asshole,
Speaker 1: just go on and get a job and be successful
Speaker 1: and then like, have somebody send him a screenshot about
Speaker 1: how successful you are. Yes, but you can't go on
Speaker 1: trips and pretend that you have like this banging body
Speaker 1: and like everybody wants to be with you because we
Speaker 1: know you're lying. Like that's all photo shops. No right exactly, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: right exactly yes. No, your best best revenge is your paper.
Speaker 1: For sure, he's gonna be seeing when he missed out
Speaker 1: on Okay, I got one. My name is Tapatha, So
Speaker 1: I was going out with this guy for three years
Speaker 1: only to find out he cheated on me with my cousin.
Speaker 1: What girl, when I tell you my blood was boiling,
Speaker 1: but I acted as if I didn't know and didn't
Speaker 1: see all these receipts. Instead, I went on her phone
Speaker 1: and messaged him saying she tested positive for chlamydia and
Speaker 1: for him to get checked out to his ass was
Speaker 1: so shook. I got to his house and saw him
Speaker 1: freaking out. Then he told me I needed to get
Speaker 1: tested and I was like why, And then he was
Speaker 1: forced to confess it was hilarious. I also maxed out
Speaker 1: his card by ordering loads of food and clothes for
Speaker 1: me and my girls. Listen, listen, y'all better not mess
Speaker 1: with a woman. Okay, because a mad woman for yo. Yo.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I love it. Okay, those are amazing,
Speaker 1: y'all keep them coming, um. But I think we should
Speaker 1: end on a positive note. Of course we should. Yes,
Speaker 1: I think we should positive because this actually touched my heart.
Speaker 1: And this was from Tera. It's from Tera. Okay, Tera,
Speaker 1: we love you all right, So you know what she said, Giselle.
Speaker 1: I just wanted you to know that your attitude and
Speaker 1: how you carry yourself inspired me so that I named
Speaker 1: my daughter after you. I spell it g I S
Speaker 1: E L L. She was born in two thousand seventeen.
Speaker 1: I admire how you always take the high road and
Speaker 1: have so much class. Wow, now, thank you. That's very much.
Speaker 1: That's deep. That's very deep, and I love every second
Speaker 1: of it. And you know what, this is why we
Speaker 1: do what we do, not for you to name your
Speaker 1: children after us, but just to give a little inspiration,
Speaker 1: right absolutely. And you know I've been sharing my story
Speaker 1: about like the how the pandemic affected me and how
Speaker 1: I was, you know, in the bed, didn't want to
Speaker 1: get up, not motivated. And I have received so many messages,
Speaker 1: really many messages from people, whether it's on Twitter or
Speaker 1: d M or comments that are like, you know, they
Speaker 1: relate to it, or thank you, or you know they
Speaker 1: have a significant other that's kind of saying the same
Speaker 1: thing to them, like you know, what's wrong with you?
Speaker 1: You need to do this, you need to do that.
Speaker 1: And so when we you know, when I hear from
Speaker 1: people who just feel like we're representing them somehow. You know,
Speaker 1: all of us on the show offers something different, and
Speaker 1: you know we're not going to be everyone's cup of tea,
Speaker 1: but at least it's like, you know, if I can
Speaker 1: touch people who are in a difficult place and make
Speaker 1: them feel not alone and feel better about where they
Speaker 1: are and hopefully maybe give them some motivation to like
Speaker 1: get out of it, then that's like the biggest blessing
Speaker 1: for me. So, yeah, you've done your job, and there's
Speaker 1: a reason why you're telling your story to try to
Speaker 1: help somebody. Yeah, I mean it's not and it's not
Speaker 1: comfortable to tell stories like at all, but you know,
Speaker 1: it's it pays off when I know that people are
Speaker 1: being affected by it. I mean, like people said, oh,
Speaker 1: I sat there and I cried because it just you know,
Speaker 1: and sometimes when you feel something so deep, it can
Speaker 1: touch you like that. So I love it, Robin Dixon,
