1
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: Welcome to Reasonably Shady. This is Gaselle Brian here, and

2
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: I am here with hello everyone.

3
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 2: My name is Robin Dixon.

4
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: Yes, this is our Reasonably Shady podcast. This is our

5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: first podcast. Guys. We don't know what the hell we're doing,

6
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: but just bear with us because we're going to figure

7
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: it out and by the time we're like on episode

8
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, twenty eight will be great. So we

9
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: do kind of want to tell people how we met, right, well.

10
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 2: I think we should start off with just why are

11
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 2: we Why is this podcast called reasonably Shady?

12
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: That's very important. So to know us is to know

13
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: that Robin is extremely reasonable. She's like practical, She's always

14
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: like Switzerland. She always tries to see the good in people.

15
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: And I'm just shady.

16
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 2: Okay, Yes, So Gizelle's first reaction to something is a

17
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 2: shady one, and then.

18
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: I think about it, I process it, and then I

19
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: try to be like Robin, which is very reasonable, but hmmm,

20
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: doesn't really work. I just stay on the shady side.

21
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 2: Yes, you sure do, Yes, I mean, but sometimes you

22
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 2: don't take that much convincing. I have to, like, you know,

23
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 2: we'll have a private conversation. I'll say well, look at

24
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 2: it this way. Sometimes I get through to you. Yes, yes,

25
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 2: but yes, so welcome to reasonably shady where you will

26
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 2: get a lot of reason and a lot of shade.

27
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely, Now I can say that. One hundred years ago,

28
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: I moved to Baltimore, I got married, and me and

29
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: my husband at the time went to the car wash.

30
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: And who did I see but this beautiful woman. And

31
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my gosh, she really pretty. She

32
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: kind of looked like me, you know what I'm saying, And.

33
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 2: That's why she was beautiful.

34
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: Yes, that's why she was beautiful. But no, I saw

35
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: her and I was like, Wow, she's really really beautiful,

36
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: and I thought to myself, I wonder who that is.

37
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: Then years later I was at a party, lo and

38
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: behold this beautiful woman was introduced to me. Yes by

39
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: our friend Cherisa.

40
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, so Charis invited us both to a charity event,

41
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 2: one of the biggest, you know, one of the biggest

42
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: charity events in the city of DC. All the women

43
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 2: look forward to it. Everyone gets pissy drunk. So everyone

44
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 2: was pissy drunk at this charity event except for us. Maybe, yeah,

45
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 2: probably like a little bit. I was probably partaking. We

46
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 2: ended up at the same table, sitting right next to

47
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 2: each other.

48
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: Yes, So once I realized who she was, She's Robin Dixon.

49
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: It dawned upon me because when I moved to Baltimore,

50
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: Robin is from Baltimore that everybody kept asking me was

51
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: I related to Robin Dixon? And I was like, I

52
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: don't know, no, Robin Dixon, and who the hell is

53
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: Robin Dixon and Robin Dixon what? So then I was like,

54
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: holy shit, you the girl everybody's been asking me about.

55
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: And she's beautiful, so I don't mind being related to her.

56
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,679
Speaker 1: We're not related, but I mean, you know, okay, I'll

57
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: take that exactly. So we instantly became besties and like

58
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: the rest is history.

59
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 2: But I feel like it took like it was like

60
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 2: we were sitting next to each other and we instantly

61
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 2: were being reasonably shady. I probably was being shady too, though,

62
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 2: absolutely we've been shady shady, yes, And we were just

63
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 2: you know, observing the people in the party, you know,

64
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 2: making little comments about what was going on, yes, and

65
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 2: having a good time.

66
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

67
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 2: And it probably took a minute really for you to realize, oh,

68
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 2: you're the girl from Baltimore that everyone thinks.

69
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: Yes, my cousins. Right. It did take a minute, but

70
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: once I figured it out, I was like cool, Like,

71
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: at least it was somebody that I thought was cool

72
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: as opposed to an asshole, right, And.

73
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 2: You know, it's kind of weird. It's like, even though

74
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 2: you didn't know me, just figuring out that there was

75
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 2: some sort of connection and you knew people that knew me,

76
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 2: it was like, okay, all right, she's really cool. And

77
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 2: then I realized that she was the woman on the

78
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 2: side of the metro bus that I would see.

79
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: I hate robbing right now, Okay, I hate robbing because

80
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: once upon a time I was on metro buses as

81
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: a billboard. Not because I'm wanted for like a crime

82
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: or something.

83
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: Well no, no, no, you weren't on the bus for

84
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 2: a crime, but you were like laying on top of

85
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 2: your then husband Jamal, like come to our church.

86
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, they were very cute. It was it was

87
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: very cute.

88
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 2: And I was like, look, are you hated the picture?

89
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 2: I need I have to find a picture of these busses.

90
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 2: I mean I would literally be like, oh, who's that

91
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 2: woman on the side of the bus.

92
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: She's pretty, Like who are they Robin is hating on

93
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: my task. Yes she is.

94
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 2: No, I'm not like it was. So we were like instantly,

95
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, that's the woman outside of the

96
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 2: bus and Jazelle was like, oh that's the woman that

97
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 2: everyone thinks it's my cousin. Yes, and we were, you know,

98
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 2: both silly, goofy, having fun, laughing, instantly hit it off.

99
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, And then years later we got to call

100
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: about a show called The Row Housewives Potomac and we've

101
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: rocked that out for I don't know, several seasons. So

102
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: it helps solidify I mean, we were already besties before then,

103
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: but it really helped with our relationship. And we've had

104
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: each other's back on the show. They've been trying to

105
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: test apart, but we have had each other's back, and

106
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: I like, totally appreciate that. By the way, I appreciate that.

107
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: Thank you.

00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 2: how we got here so Jizelle will tell you. So.

112
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 2: When they first started casting for a show for Bravo,

113
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 2: you know, they say, oh, they're looking for an ensemble

114
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 2: cast of women in the in the DC area, and

115
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 2: Jezelle had already been talking to a casting director, and

116
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 2: Sureisa had already been talking to the same casting director.

117
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 2: And they said, well, call Robin because you know, she's

118
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 2: our friend. She'd be great. Blah blah blah.

119
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: And I want to say I was already in. They

120
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: liked me.

121
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, she was already in. So the casting director

122
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 2: calls and so they're both like, Rob when you talk

123
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 2: to the casting director, I'm like, for what, Like, I mean,

124
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 2: I don't got nothing going on. I was going through

125
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 2: like I was. My life was in shambles. I will

126
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 2: be honest about that. You know. Financially we were in

127
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 2: a bad my relationship was in a bad place, all

128
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 2: that type of stuff. I think I was divorced by

129
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 2: the Yeah, I was, Yes, you were definitely divorced. So

130
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 2: I was like, I'll talk to him, but whatever. I

131
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 2: talked to him, and my first lead, you know, I'm like,

132
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 2: not in my opinion, not auditioning for a show. I'm

133
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 2: having a conversation. So my first you know line with him,

134
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 2: he was like, you know, oh, tell me about yourself.

135
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 2: I was like, well, I don't live that life.

136
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: That's bad. I should have prepped Robin and I did.

137
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'll be honest, I'm not living that life.

138
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 2: And so he called either Gazelle or the reason was like,

139
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 2: I hate her.

140
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: Okay, So I'm going to give the story how it

141
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: really happened. So I was in, I was good to go,

142
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: and they were like, do you have any friends and

143
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: I was like, yes, Robin, and you're gonna call her

144
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 1: and she's gonna be amazing. And so they called this

145
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: person that I had hyped up like I was a

146
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: hype woman. I was like, she's amazing, and then Robin

147
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: is on the phone like not giving a shit. So

148
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: the guy immediately called me back and was like I

149
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: hate her and she's out, and I was like, oh,

150
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: hell no, call her back, call her back, call her back.

151
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: So it took Robin a minute to be nice to

152
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: casting and so finally, you know, they obviously loved her

153
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: in the rest of.

154
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 2: The rest is history. Yeah, every day, I'm still like,

155
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 2: how did I get on this show?

156
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: Because I told him called Robin back, right.

157
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 2: But it's been fun. It's been a journey, and most

158
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 2: of you who watch the show have seen our relationship,

159
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 2: and you know, I think the name of our podcast

160
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 2: reasonably shady, is it? You probably think it fits us?

161
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, So how do we get to this podcast?

162
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 2: All right?

163
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: We got to talk about the pandemn demic, okay, because

164
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: that is what it is. And like I think, during

165
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: the beginning of the pandemic, we decided for whatever reason

166
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: to have an Instagram Live together because we were bored. Yes, shitless,

167
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: we were bored.

168
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 2: We missed each other, yes.

169
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: Yes, and so we did that.

170
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 2: And we don't get on Instagram a lot, like we're not,

171
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 2: you know, addicted to social media. So that was kind

172
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 2: of like the first time in a really long time

173
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 2: we had gotten on Instagram Live together.

174
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. Did you even have lashes at that point? Did

175
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: you have some lashes on it? Because I think I

176
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: looked real crazy.

177
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 2: You might have had a turbine on my head or something.

178
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: You had a term. I have like my hair like

179
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: on a ponytail top of my head.

180

Speaker 2: I have lashes. The pandemic hit, okay, can we talk

181
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 2: about like the pandemic hit? And I was like, oh, yes,

00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 2: I mean I was like kind of loving it at

183
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 2: first because I was like, oh, I don't have to

00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: any of those things anything anything.

190
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,719

255
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 2: No, I know, but I feel like all of that,

256
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 2: like it's hard to talk about a pandemic and not

257
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 2: talk about all the shit that we want.

258
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. And it was literally it was a

259
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: lot because Robin, you and I were sending each other menus.

260
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,599
Speaker 1: I mean not menus. We were sending each other recipes

261
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: of different food that we could cook, and none of

262
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: it was like fat free. None of it was like

263
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: the skinny portion. This was all like food food looking good, yes, yes,

264
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: with BUTTA. So that had to stop. That stopped. That

265
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: was horrible. But I feel like, you know, clearly we're

266
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: coming out of the pandemic and I feel better about

267
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: my life.

268
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 2: Oh, me too, absolutely, And spring is sprung. Yes, that

269
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 2: always helps. So it was a really rough patch for

270
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 2: me just this past like you know, fall, winter, and

271
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 2: now that spring is here, it's like, okay, spring is here.

272
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 2: We have a vaccine, Yes, we have you know, I

273
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 2: think we're we've just become more accustomed to life as

274
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 2: it is. Although I feel like we are getting better

275
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 2: and I'm feeling better about life. I am.

276
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: I'm feeling really good. And you know, we're in the

277
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: state of Maryland, and the State of Maryland is doing

278
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: great with their numbers, and that's making me feel like,

279
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: you know, there's there's light at the end of the tunnel.

280
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 2: It is, absolutely but I'm still very cautious. Yes, you know,

281
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 2: I'm not out and about. I'm not you know, trying

282
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 2: to be a big gatherings. I'm not you know, when.

283
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,600

Speaker 2: So we have been traveling every other weekend to play

312
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 2: in basketball tournaments. The kids playing mass like. It's all

313
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 2: very socially distanced all that, but in the nighttime the

Speaker 1: Basketball parent turnout.

316
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:39,960

Speaker 2: son was telling me stuff that I said and I

320
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 2: did and I don't remember. So yes, those have been

321
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 2: my releases.

322
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: That's called bad mom, just in case y'all don't know.

323

326
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 2: I haven't been in the club, but we have created

327
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 2: our own little club. In the residence in Okay or.

328
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: Not to turn up into residence in is a turnout.

329
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 2: The Wyndham Garden, This.

330
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: Is a turnout.

331
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 2: We get the ball, we get the conference.

332
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: Are you drinking dog? Twenty twenty. What is at the bar?

333
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: Tell me what's at the ball?

334
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 2: We have a stock bar. We have to kill it.

335
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: We got what kind of tequila? Because there's different kinds

336
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: stuff cosamikos. Okay, this is a horrible turnout. Okay, great goose.

337
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, that's my drink anyway. So okay, back

338
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 2: to where we were talking about.

339
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: That's such been your outlet for the pandemic.

340
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 2: That has been my outlet over the past few months.

341
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 2: Like at first, I was very like, I'm not even

342
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 2: a house. I'm not going anywhere. And now it's like, okay,

343
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 2: these kids need to get on the basketball court and

344
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 2: I need to leave the house. Okay, that is I

345
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 2: like an outlet.

346
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: Getting back to how we are here at this podcast,

347
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: people robbing went on a rant. We like we said,

348
00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: we we did an Instagram live together. We did want

349
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: our too, maybe just one I can't remember. And the

350
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: feedback that we were getting or the comments were that, oh,

351
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: you know, Jesselle Robin, y'all should have a green eye bandage,

352
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: y'all should have a podcast, right, And I think.

353
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 2: It's because when we're talking to one another, the people

354
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 2: who are listening or watching they feel like they're like

355
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 2: our girlfriends too, or our friends too, Like they're right

356
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 2: there in the room with us, and they're like, you know,

357
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 2: they're getting it. They're keicky in with us, Like we're

358
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 2: not just like talking, you know, just about the show,

359
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 2: and like we're literally just laughing, joking, having fun. And

360
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 2: I think people people really responded to that, like they

361
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 2: were messaging me, yes, messaging both of us, like, you

362
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 2: guys need a podcast. You guys need a podcast, right,

363
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 2: And so I Robin told me I put it OUTGA

364
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 2: one day, Yeah, Robin called me and said, she said,

365
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 2: you know, people were giving that kind of feedback.

366
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: I put it out into the universe. In other words,

367
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: I call my manager and I told her to make

368
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: it happen. And here we are today. We are on Iehead,

369
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: we are on the Black Effect platform. Thank you Black Effect.

370
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: We love y'all. And you know, I feel like this

371
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: is a great way, speaking of outlets of us to

372
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 1: like share our stories. We've been through personally a lot.

373
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:19,719
Speaker 1: You know, I'm divorced, I got three kids. Robin is

374
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: not really divorced, kind of not really. She's okay, fine,

375
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 1: she's married, she has two kids, and we're both entrepreneurs.

376
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: We both believe in success. We try to get our

377
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 1: hustle on. We try to teach our kids to be

378
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: the best people that they can be. And I feel like,

379
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of people out there that

380
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: are striving for greatness. So that is what we are

381
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 1: going to try to bring you all week by week.

382
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: But first, because we are reasonably shady, we'd like to

383
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 1: give y'all individually our reasonably shady moment of the week. Robin,

384
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: would you like to go first?

385
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 2: Okay? I will go first. So today I had an

386
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 2: appointment to get corn rows.

387
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: Okay, explain that. Because it's that different from loose locks,

388
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 1: lemon locks. I need an explation because I don't know

389
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: nothing about these braids.

390
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 2: Well me neither. That's the problem. So you know, I

391
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 2: don't know a whole munch about hair. I just typically

392
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 2: I go to my hairstyles and I say, do my hair,

393
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 2: thank you. So I don't really know the terminology for

394
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 2: corn rows or braids or whatever it is. So I

395
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:31,959
Speaker 2: just told the girl I want corn roads. I'm going

396
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 2: on a trip I don't want to do with my hair.

397
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 2: I want some corn roads. And she's like, well, what stout.

398
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 2: Do you want? I was like, oh my lord, what

399
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 2: do you mean? So I was like, just I said,

400
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 2: just do something cool, right, I'm thinking because I've gotten

401
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 2: corn roads before. And it literally took like less than

402
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 2: two hours to do. And I had all these appointments,

403
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 2: you know, I had somewhere to be Okay.

404
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 1: Yes, call my house to do this podcast podcast.

405
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 2: Ye. Yes. So I was like, okay, my appointments at two,

406
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 2: I'll be out by the latest. I can go home

407
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 2: and you know, eat something for her, you know, see

408
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 2: my kids, make sure they're cool.

409
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

410
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 2: Nah. Five and a half hours later, right, I walk out.

411
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 2: First of all, I had to I texted you out

412
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 2: probably like five times. Oh I'm running late. Oh I'm

413
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 2: even later. Oh I'm even later, Like I literally and

414
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 2: it's so crazy. It's like I thought she was almost done,

415
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 2: but she wasn't. It was like, okay, there was like

416
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 2: a patch of hair and I was like, okay, that's

417
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 2: the last one. And it was like oh okay, no,

418
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 2: now it's the last one.

419
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 1: And then it was like, so, oh, here is reasonably

420
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: shady you to me because you late or the lady

421
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: that did your head to you.

422
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say me because I did not tell her

423
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 2: I was on a time constraint, okay, you know, like

424
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 2: and it's like once she started doing her thing, it's

425
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 2: too late. You know. I couldn't be like, wait, whoa wall,

426
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 2: wait a minute, this feels like it's taking a little

427
00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 2: bit longer, you know, when I got like half my hair.

428
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 2: So they're very cute.

429
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,960

00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: couple of new ladies lately, and one of them I

465
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: reached out to because I felt like, you know, she

466
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: could be a cool girlfriend and we could kind of

467
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: keep key together or whatever. And I sent her a

468
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: little text message and I was like, Hey, why don't

469
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: we hang out for drinks? Right? And she responds back

470
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: and says, mmmm, well, you're gonna need to go on

471
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: my assistant and have you penciled into my schedule?

472
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 2: Who does that?

473
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: Now? That's not reasonably, that's just shady. That's shady shady. Yes,

474
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: that's all the way whack shady. That's right. Yeah, but

475
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: but it falls under this is what happened to me

476
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: in my week, and I just want to share that

477
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: with y'all.

478
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 2: So that should be like, okay, well kick rocks and

479
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,400
Speaker 2: let's keep it moving.

480
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,439
Speaker 1: Kick rocks, keep it moving because I have friends that

481
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: I can have drinks with, right, I don't need any

482
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: new friends. Yeah, and that what Drake said, I don't

483
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: know no new friends. That's Drake or who said that?

484
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 1: Was that little baby or dub baby. I can't tell

485
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: them apart it was Drake. Okay, no new friends, all right? Anyway,

486
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 1: moving on, So we would like to share some hour

487
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,479
Speaker 1: or I would like robbing to be honest, because I've

488
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: known Robin for a while, so I know her past, right,

489
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:48,360
Speaker 1: and we're seasoned women, right, we've come a long way,

490
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: a little more seasoned than me. Okay, So anyway, and

491
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 1: I feel like there's a big difference between like who

492
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: we were as children growing up. And I can identify

493
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: with this because kids are teenagers now, they a little

494
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 1: bit of not not off the chain, but you know,

495
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 1: they do things that make me wonder, how will you

496
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: grow up and what will you be? Right? That's scary,

497
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: It's extremely scary. So I would like for us to

498
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: give a little tidbit into our past, robin so people

499
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: can really understand us.

500
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 2: Okay, well, I'm happy to share my past. Okay, so

501
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 2: you know, and I think this is just great, This

502
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 2: is just we're all going to be friends here. Hopefully

503
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,719
Speaker 2: you all will be tuning in for the podcast, you

504
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,199
Speaker 2: know every week, yes, every episode, and so you're going

505
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 2: to get to know more and more and more about us.

506
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 2: So where what better place than to start with our

507
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 2: childhood or you know, how we became who we are today.

508
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 2: So I grew up with two professional parents. My father

509
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 2: is a dentist. My mother was a professor at Morgan

510
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:54,199
Speaker 2: State University and then also an entrepreneur. We lived a

511
00:23:54,359 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 2: very upper middle class, bougie black people life. And when

512
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 2: I say bougie, I mean we were in you know,

513
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 2: Jack and jail my mother is in a sorority, my

514
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 2: father's in a fraternity. You know, I am in a

515
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 2: sorority as well. I guess we should just name. I mean,

516
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 2: I don't, I don't have to protect the name. So

517
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 2: my mother is a Delta, my father is a Kappa,

518
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 2: and you know, they both went to HBCUs. They're very

519
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 2: like social in the city of Baltimore, very well known.

520
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 2: It just you know, because Baltimore is a small town

521
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 2: and you know, years ago wasn't that many professional black

522
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 2: people in the city of Baltimore. There weren't that many

523
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 2: black dentists in Baltimore. Just whatever it is. So because

524
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 2: of that, my parents were very I don't want to

525
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 2: call them bougie though, because they're like they were like

526
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 2: laid back bougie people, like down to earth boogie people.

527
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: Yes, I agree with that.

528
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 2: And you know, we're all in the social organizations that

529
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 2: are more exclusive and hard to get into. So that

530
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:55,880
Speaker 2: was kind of the life that I lived. I went

531
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 2: to a private school, a very prestigious and expensive private

532
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 2: school from ninth through twelve, and you know, I had

533
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 2: a car as soon as I turned sixteen, like all

534
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 2: that stuff. Lived a good life and oh mm hmm.

535
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 2: I was so smart that by the age of three

536
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 2: I was reading and so they put me in school

537
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 2: a year early. Okay, So I was like my parents'

538
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 2: golden child because I was so smart and I was

539
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 2: so well behaved, and I was and my brother was

540
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 2: a terror. My brother's three years older than me, and

541
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 2: my brother was like the worst child ever. Yes, I

542
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 2: said that he was. You could tell him.

543
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 1: I said that too.

544
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 2: He was the worst, Like he was a nightmare. He

545
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,199
Speaker 2: was wild. I think, like you know, they I don't know.

546
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,199
Speaker 2: He just there was just so many issues with my

547
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 2: brother that when I came along, my parents were like

548
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 2: especially my mom, she was like, oh my God, thank you.

549
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 2: I think God was like, you need a break because

550
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 2: that son of yours is a terror. So I was

551
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 2: the perfect child.

552
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: Yes, I know this is going downhill.

553
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 4: So yes, Somewhere along the way I met some people

554
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,360

00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 2: I mean, it gets a little bad, and then it

620
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 2: gets when.

621
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: When was sex involved?

622
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 2: Ninth grade?

623
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: Robin Dixon cannot come around my kids. I'm here to

624
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: tell y'all she's got some bad values.

625
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 3: But all the.

626
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 2: While, I'm like, Okay, I know I'm doing I'm being

627
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 2: really bad, and I hope I don't get in trouble.

628
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 2: I hope my parents don't find out. I don't know

629
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 2: how the fuck I got away with this stuff. I

630
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 2: just don't neither do I. So ninth grade came, and

631
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 2: this is where the turning point happened.

632
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: Okay, because at this point you're like, uh, what do

633
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: you call it? A delinquent? You're a juvenile delinquent?

634
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 2: Right? I could have been in Julie. Okay, So, and

635
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 2: this is all because I had a friend that was

636
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 2: my best friend, and she didn't have supervision like her

637
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 2: parents are buried lean, but you did. And her parents

638
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 2: smoked cigarettes too, so it's like if we were smoking

639
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 2: in the basement, they weren't going to be able to

640
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 2: even tell, right. So I spent a lot of time

641
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 2: in her house and got into all types of trouble.

642
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 2: So ninth grade something a light bulb went off in

643
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 2: my father's head.

644
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: Thank you, Jesus, because you've been running around town killing

645
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: people's Mercedes fins, Jesus.

646
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 2: And I was at my friend's house and we were

647
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 2: running the neighborhood somehow, I'm trying to remember the story. Oh,

648
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 2: there was a guy I was talking to and he

649
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 2: was four years older than me.

650
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: Of course he was.

651
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 2: He was probably because of course the fourteen year old

652
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 2: boys weren't you know, they weren't doing it?

653
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: And was this were you even of age? No, you

654
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: were not, and he was. This was called rape, it

655
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: sure was right. Clearly, you can never talk to my

656
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: kids again.

657
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 2: I can speak from experience. Okay, what not to do?

658
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 2: I am the example of what not to do. But

659
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 2: what happened was so fourteen, hanging out with my friend

660
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 2: and her boyfriend who and they had been like having

661
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 2: sex for two years, you know. And then and then

662
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 2: this guy that was a senior in high school, and

663
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 2: we drank mad Dog, we smoked weed, and all I

664
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 2: remember is I was in the back of the car

665
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 2: getting laid.

666
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: Getting what's laid me? You were having sex? Yeah, okay,

667
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Okay, yes, okay. And then what happened, Yes,

668
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: this is getting good.

669
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 2: So that happened, and then something, it's something in my

670
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 2: father's head, like a light bulb went off, and he

671
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 2: was like he started looking for me, like I was

672
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 2: at my friend's house, and he literally drove to their

673
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 2: house and was like, where's Robin, Like something's not right?

674
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: Oh? How long did it take for your father figure out?

675
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: How much are right? Three years?

676
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 2: No, probably three years, I guess, So yeah, I think

677
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 2: he always I think it was one of those where

678
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 2: like they knew that my friend probably wasn't the best influence,

679
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:01,719
Speaker 2: but I would always be like, but that's my friend.

680
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: I want to go to her house, right please?

681
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 2: And we spent like all like a lot of time together.

682
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,239
Speaker 2: She was Jewish, I can recite Hebrew prayers I've been

683
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. It was just like I

684
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 2: spent that much time that I was at like Rashashana

685
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 2: dinner with her and all that type of stuff. So

686
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 2: but something my parents would always try to like, no,

687
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 2: we don't want you to go over there, because I

688
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 2: think they knew that it just we were not supervised, right,

689
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 2: So for whatever reason, that night he drove over there,

690
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 2: came and got me, and I'm drunk as a skunk,

691
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 2: and literally it was like for me, that was like

692
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 2: the worst thing imaginable for me, for my parents to

693
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 2: see that I was drunk like that, right, and to

694
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 2: disappoint them like that that I literally didn't drink again,

695
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 2: like you know what I mean, like after that experience, right, Well,

696
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 2: I don't say I didn't drink again because clearly because

697
00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 2: you were drunk last week with me, moms, Okay, I

698
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 2: won't say again. I probably didn't pick back like by

699
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 2: partying up until like senior year in high school, Okay,

700
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 2: but I pull I wasn't. I stopped hanging out with

701
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 2: my friend great and do you know by senior year

702
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 2: in high school, she was addicted to heroin. Mm hmmm,

703
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 2: like she had to go scary.

704
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: Who you telling?

705
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 2: I mean, when I think about it, I'm like, oh

706
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 2: my god, that could have been me. Even though I

707
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 2: felt like I was a little I have, like, you know,

708
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 2: more willpower than that I had, Like I was always one.

709
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 2: Like you know, when when you were in like drug

710
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 2: did you have dair class? What's it called dare? Yes? Okay,

711
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 2: when I was in dair class and they showed you

712
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 2: the pictures.

713
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 1: When they tried to scare you, well it scared me great, right,

714
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: So I didn't think I was going to go that far.

715
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 2: But the fact that my friend that I hung out

716
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 2: with every weekend was addicted to heroin by the time

717
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 2: she was in twelfth grade, Like, I just think about,

718
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 2: like what could have been.

719
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: So clearly we love your father because he got you

720
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: on the street and narrow. He saved me, He saved you.

721
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: But back then, back then, you weren't. You were not

722
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: thinking about your future and what you were going to

723
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 1: do and who you were going to be.

724
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 2: No, who's doing that in ninth grade?

725
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 1: Well my children do that?

726
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 3: Oh wow, yes, Oh they're gonna be okay. Oh they

727
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 3: are like ahead of the curve, they are, Yes, Okay,

728
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 3: that's amazing, because no, I'll be honest, I'm forty one.

729
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:31,959
Speaker 2: I still don't know what I want to be.

730
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: And that we're gonna save for another episode of People.

731
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 1: Robin's forty one and she has no clue what she

732
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: wants to do with her life. Yes, that's because I

733
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 1: feel like that's a lot of people and people can

734
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 1: relate to that.

735
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely, yes, absolutely. I mean I just feel like, yes,

736
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 2: how many times in college like you. I mean, I

737
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 2: feel like all of my friends in college are like

738
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 2: I don't know what I gonna do unless you're that

739
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 2: one friend that's like I'm going to be a doctor.

740
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,800
Speaker 1: And I'm like, good for you, bitch, I'm so.

741
00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 2: Happy that you figured that out.

742
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 1: This is true.

743
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 2: But anyway, Yeah, so that story, that experience like probably

744
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 2: saved my life. Yeah you know what I mean, It

745
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,800
Speaker 2: probably really saved me from just being like just totally

746
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:16,240
Speaker 2: jacked up and seeing my parents so disappointed, like literally

747
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 2: scared me to the point where I was like, Okay,

748
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 2: I don't want to do that again. Great, And you know,

749
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 2: I still was a good student, Like you know, I

750
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 2: finished off, was a good student. I was. I went

751
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:28,320
Speaker 2: to college, yeah, you know, graduated all that good stuff.

752
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: You met wan, you had some kids, Yes, and you

753
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 1: met a friend named Joseelle Boo. We're here today, so

754
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: just out. Yes, Well, mine is like Cinderella in comparison

755
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: New Yors. Mine is very PG rated. I was not

756
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 1: vandalizing any cars in the streets. I think I had

757
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: a wild moment. Let me see, probably high school going

758
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: into college, and I remember like one of the nights

759
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: I was like, I can't do this anymore. I was like,

760
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 1: I was turned so in college. I happened to turn

761
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: twenty one. Being in college twenty one is a very

762
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: big difference from Robins fourteen years old. Okay for the record,

763
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: but anyway, and I was enjoying myself, living my life

764
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:17,959
Speaker 1: and doing my thing. I'm in college and the guys

765
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: I was hanging out with they was like, Youselle, you

766
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 1: turning twenty one. You have to take twenty one shots

767
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 1: h And I was like, okay, that sounds good to make.

768
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 1: It's like so I was down. I was like ready

769
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 1: for the challenge. And I don't know where in the

770
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: twenty one I literally have no idea about the rest

771
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 1: of the night, but I can promise you I tried

772
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,399
Speaker 1: to get there because it was a challenge and I.

Speaker 1: I know, I wanted to I wanted to beat the challenge.

775
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,000

00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 2: it says that it's wine, and I didn't think that

786
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 2: wine was bad.

787
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: So she's just lying on top of line, on top

788
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:17,080

789
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 2: Try and then oh my god, this is like the

790
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,359
Speaker 2: blink the victim. I was trying to victimize myself. So

791
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 2: then they're all like mad at me, and my brother's like,

792
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 2: oh that's me. I was like, I want to kill myself.

793
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 2: I've got to kill myself. That was like to get

794
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 2: them to like leave back off, Yeah, leave me alone.

795
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,440

00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 1: Were a smart juvenile to language.

797
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 2: Yes, I like that.

798
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 1: Yes, So back to a little bit of a backstory.

799
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 1: I am the youngest of three kids, so by the

800
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: time I was coming up, and we're all kind of

801
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 1: like eighteen months apart. So by time I got like,

802
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 1: you know, in my high school years or whatever, my parents,

803
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 1: like I think, were tired and they didn't feel like

804
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: dealing with me, and they didn't care what I did.

805
00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 1: So I did get away with a lot, you know,

806
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 1: maybe sneaking out the house couple of times, things like that,

807
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: but no, nothing like too traumatic. But yes, when I

808
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: was trying to take my twenty one shots on my

809
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 1: twenty first birthday, I realize I can't do this. No,

810
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: and I feel crazy. And I felt crazy for like weeks,

811
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:20,320
Speaker 1: like I felt sick, I felt like delirious. I felt

812
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 1: like God was trying to tell me something. I don't

813
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 1: know what he was trying to tell me, but he

814
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,439
Speaker 1: was just like, bitch, you don't need to be drinking

815
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 1: all this, Like that was what I was getting from God.

816
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 2: You are lucky you are alive. Yeah, I mean cause

817
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 2: and not like I guess to be serious now, like

818
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,959
Speaker 2: we do hear stories of people in college, Yeah, who

819
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 2: die from alcohol overdose.

820
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 1: Right, But whoever was giving me the challenge? I know

821
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 1: who they are to this day. Why did y'all.

822
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 2: Do that to me?

823
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 1: Like, right, that wasn't nice, That wasn't a good challenge.

824
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 2: That was the worst, and how they feel their daughter? Right?

825
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 1: And I was so crazy. I just was like, okay,

826
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 1: I'll do it right. Who agrees to this?

827
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 2: Right? Okay, so stupid Carloge students?

828
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 1: Right? And then you know, after I graduated from college,

829
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 1: and I still I didn't know what I wanted to

830
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 1: do either. I didn't know you know, where I wanted

831
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 1: to land. I do know that I did want to

832
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: like plan things. I want to be like an event planner,

833
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 1: wedding plan or something like that. And I did do

834
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: that for a little while for the NAACP where I

835
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: met Jamal got married.

836
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 2: So I didn't planning background as well.

837
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, and Mayor Royn got you know, things

838
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 1: and comings. But never in a million years if somebody

839
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 1: said you're going to be in a reality television show

840
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:32,399
Speaker 1: and you're going to be a housewife and you're gonna

841
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: be on Bravo, I would be like hell no, not

842
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:36,240
Speaker 1: only no, but I don't want.

843
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 2: To do that, right. It wasn't a desire and not

844
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:40,320
Speaker 2: some people want to be on TV.

845
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I had no desire. I was living my

846
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,959
Speaker 1: life and enjoying myself prior to our casting director calling

847
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: me and saying this is what you're gonna do? Right

848
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: and then and then I actually talked to When you

849
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: and I talked about it, you were like to say,

850
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:55,240
Speaker 1: you we only live once, Like why not? And where where?

851
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 1: Why not? And who knows if we'll make it past

852
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 1: season one? Right? We on season six?

853
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 2: I didn't eve think season one was going to make

854
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 2: the light of day.

855
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: Yes, we're on season three, just for the for the

856
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 1: for the people in the in the cheap seats in

857
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 1: the back were on season three and Robin's like, are

858
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: we still on this show?

859
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:14,479
Speaker 2: Right? Is this is this real?

860
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, Robin is ceasing three? Yes. Robin didn't get

861
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:22,760
Speaker 1: it for a very long time that we were on TV.

862
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: Like she'd be like confused, Like we'd be walking down

863
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 1: the street, people screaming our name. She's like, who are

864
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:31,240
Speaker 1: they talking to? They talking to us, Robin, We're on TV.

865
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 2: I actually experienced that this past weekend at a basketball tournament. Yeah,

866
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 2: Like there's this lady like waving crazy and I'm like

867
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 2: looking behind me, I'm like what she oh she sees someone,

868
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 2: Oh you're waving at me. Hi.

869
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 1: Yes, I will never forget. And actually this was actually

870
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:48,839
Speaker 1: season one, so it was a little weird. So this

871
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 1: could this could be believable. I mean, you could, you know,

872
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 1: not be this naive. We were in Bethany Beach and

873
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,919
Speaker 1: because we went there for Ashley's that was our trip.

874
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 1: That was our trip Bethany and they got win that

875
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 1: a reality show was filming and Bethany Beach, so we

876
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:07,399
Speaker 1: were like, i think going to the boardwalk or whatever,

877
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: and it was a mob of people just like waiting

878
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 1: for us to get off the bus. And Robin was like,

879
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 1: holy shit, who are those people? Why are they here?

880
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 1: What are they doing here? It's like robbing they're here

881
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 1: for us And she was like what.

882
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 2: Do you mean. I'm like no, no, no.

883
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 1: I was like, yes, they see camera crews and they're

884
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: running now. At the time, they.

885
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 2: Nobody knew that Beyonce was getting off the bus though,

886
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:28,399
Speaker 2: and Beyonce did.

887
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 1: It was me and you, I'm just saying, but anyway,

888
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 1: so we get off the bus, and they didn't know

889
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:36,799
Speaker 1: who we were. But like after that, it's like you

890
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: know it is. This ride has been a blessing, I'll

891
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,319
Speaker 1: say for myself, and I think I can speak both

892
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: for the both of us. You know, it's ups and downs,

893
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: there's highs and lows, but we have been able to

894
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 1: showcase things that we do love and our family. I'm

895
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: proud of my family. I'm proud of the mom that

896
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:59,240
Speaker 1: I am, and I feel like that is a blessing.

897
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 1: And if anybody can, especially your story, Robin, because you're

898
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 1: so relatable, if anybody can learn from our lives, I

899
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: think the whole thing is worth it.

900
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 2: Right absolutely. One of the biggest blessings for me is

901
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 2: when I receive feedback and comments from people who are like,

902
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 2: you have helped me. Yeah, you know you, I've you know,

903
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 2: I'm not in a good place, but I watch the

904
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:24,720
Speaker 2: show and either it's for comic relief or it's because

905
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 2: they look at our stories and say, whoa I can

906
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 2: relate to that. I love how you overcame. Thank you

907
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 2: for sharing. And so for me, the best part is

908
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 2: just affecting other people's lives that I don't even know.

909
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: And let me tell you it's not easy. No, it's

910
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: not easy. No, I don't recommend reality television for anybody

911
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:46,839
Speaker 1: who does not have thick skin. When I say thick skin,

912
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:48,240
Speaker 1: like elephant skin.

913
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 2: Right right. Fortunately, and that's the thing about both of us. Yeah,

914
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 2: we don't care like you know, all of the scrutiny

915
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 2: we received. I mean, sometimes it is a little jarring

916
00:42:56,360 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 2: when we can receive so much negativity, But we know

917
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:04,479
Speaker 2: who we are, and we have the people in our

918
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 2: lives that are important to us, and we know that

919
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,920
Speaker 2: love us, and they're not going to change for us,

920
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 2: and we're not going to change for them. So fortunately,

921
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 2: I've been able to maintain friendships with all of my

922
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 2: friends that I've been friends with before the show, and

923
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 2: they don't give a damn about the show, you know

924
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:20,959
Speaker 2: what I mean. And so I can have good girl

925
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 2: time with my friends and not talk about the show

926
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:28,799
Speaker 2: and just feel like myself. And so, yes, it's stressful.

927
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 2: It's hard. Filming is hard, Watching the show is hard.

928
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 2: The you know, scrutiny is hard. But overall, the blessing

929
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 2: has been just like way more than the negativity.

930
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 1: Right right, So people, we're about to wrap up this

931
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:47,360
Speaker 1: first episode that was so fat. I know, but we

932
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 1: have a couple takes from the episode. Okay, so take

933
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: number one for me is Robin Muss. You've not delinquent.

934
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:57,839
Speaker 1: But she has come so far people, Okay, she has.

935
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, she didn't come from vandalizing Mercedes Benz

936
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 1: to being an owner of Embellished and her hats are

937
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 1: selling I have on one right now. Her hats are

938
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 1: selling like hot cakes, honey cakes. So that's amazing. Do

939
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:12,800
Speaker 1: you have a take from this show?

940
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 2: I do. I would say thank God that Giselle did

00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 2: not overdose and she's here because won do it? Yes,

942
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,319
Speaker 2: because we wouldn't be here. We would not be on

943
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 2: season six of The Real Housewives of Potoma.

944
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 1: We would not. We would not. And you know what,

945
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 1: more importantly, like the power of friendship, Like I'm so

946
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 1: happy that we're friends and we have a sisterhood that is.

947
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 2: Unbreakable, absolutely absolutely, yeah, And that is so valuable. And

948
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 2: when you have that friendship, everyone just nurture it. Yes.

949
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 1: Yes, Now, at the end of every episode, guys, we're

950
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 1: going to be giving you our reasonable person of the

951
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 1: day or the week or the year, and our shady

952
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 1: person of the day, the week, or the year. So

953
00:44:58,000 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: who's reasonable these days?

954
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 2: I mean, this is our first podcast, ye, and we

955
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 2: just have to pay homage homage homage. Both the age

956
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:14,760
Speaker 2: is silent, right, it's it's hama homage homage. I promise

957
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 2: I went to private school. Yeah, we have to just

958
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 2: give doctor Fauci. Yes, yes, yes, yes, pribes. I don't

959
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 2: care if you believe the pandemic is a hoax. We

960
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 2: have been through hell and doctor Fauci has remained steady, steadfast,

961
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 2: factual yep. And I mean, for the most part, it's crazy,

962
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 2: like they would say, like, oh, I predict that in

963
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 2: three months the numbers are going to skyrocket, and we're

964
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 2: sitting there like, oh whatever, And then come three months

965
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:51,800
Speaker 2: and the number of skyrocket. So like I feel like

966
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 2: everything that they said would happen happens.

967
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 1: Yes, So he's a reasonable person. He is our reasonable person.

968
00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:59,360
Speaker 2: And we got to give it up to our new president,

969
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:03,839
Speaker 2: Joe Biden, just for the sake of thank you for

970
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 2: being here. Yes, thank you. One.

971
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 1: If I find myself at this point in a reasonable way,

972
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 1: not having to stalk CNN anymore to find out the

973
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: bad news, I can actually go to bed feeling kind

974
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 1: of safe and secure. About the world.

975
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 2: I knew that life was crazy when I would literally

976
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:27,279
Speaker 2: be listening to CNN in my car. Yeah, Like I

977
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 2: would be driving and turn the scene in and it

978
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,719
Speaker 2: was like almost like comforting to hear those voices that

979
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 2: I've been listening to, like all day, all night. Yeah.

980
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 2: And now I don't have to do that.

981
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean you can if you want to, but

982
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: I feel like I don't want to start the rating.

983
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, don't if y'all ratings go down. It's not

984
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:45,359
Speaker 2: our fault. No, it's not our fault. Yes. So it's

985
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:47,280
Speaker 2: because the world is a little bit better.

986
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 1: Yes, and we're feeling a little bit more secure about

987
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 1: our leadership. And then now we have our shady person

988
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 1: of the year and ooh, she been shady, shady, shady,

989
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 1: shady hoo, this thing been shady. And I don't even

990
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 1: like to say her name because I just want her

991
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 1: to go away, but that she needs to go sister girl,

992
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 1: COVID girl, you are shady. Coronavirus better known as coronavirus,

993
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 1: Miss coronavirus. You so shady. Ooh you shady, and I'm

994
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 1: a need for you to leave, Okay, So get your

995
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 1: shady tail up. Out of here. We are done with you.

996
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 2: She has outworn her welcome, Yes she has, she's never

997
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 2: welcome never, no no.

998
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 1: So we've had we've had enough of you. We're done.

999
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:34,759
Speaker 1: And I think our reasonably shady combination is a good

1000
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 1: one because I think Bauci and Biden can get rid

1001
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 1: of are shady. Oh, absolutely, miss correct.

1002
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 2: We are going to be back to normal one day

1003
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:42,840
Speaker 2: one day.

1004
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 1: Soon, one day soon, one day soon. So I think

1005
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 1: I think that's it for today. That's it.

1006
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 2: I mean, I think we should tell people thank you

1007
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 2: number one for listening to us. Yes, and I hope

1008

Speaker 2: you continue to listen to us because we have a

1009
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 2: whole lot of exciting topics to talk about. Yes, you

1010
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 2: can expect to hear, you know, just topics about relationships

1011
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 2: and business and friendships and beauty and you know, current

1012
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 2: events we're going to tackle. Yes, And so I'm sorry,

Speaker 2: your girlfriends. Oh. And then you know, at some point

1016
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:20,879
Speaker 2: we're going to have advice segments, so if you have some,

1017
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:23,839
Speaker 2: if you need your advice from me or Geselle, I mean,

1018

Speaker 1: about relationships and that animal that we call love. So
