Oh I haven't done that yet. 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:14.400 Oh reasonably shady moment. Okay. So remember last week I 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:20.440 told y'all's Grace's birthday. So for my kids when it's 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:22.600 a birthday, I always get them, you know, a bunch 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:27.160 of big balloons. I was gonna say helium balloons, but 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:30.760 what other kind of balloons are there? Right? It's it? Okay, 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:32.600 so a bit like the big ones, right, I got 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:35.160 a bunch of those. Um, they're waiting for them as 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:37.960 soon as they open their eyes on their birthday. Okay, 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:40.400 So I'm in. I'm actually got this because I was rushing. 0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:41.800 I didn't go to like a balloon store. I just 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:44.000 went to like safe for it and got what they 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:46.720 had blown up. And I go to I saw I'm 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:52.080 holding six humongous happy birthday balloons. The lady at the 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:59.680 counter says, so, is it somebody's birthday? So it wouldn't 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:06.040 is to me off, but I cannot stand stupid small talk. Yeah, 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:09.320 that was that was she was trying to make small talk. Yes, 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:14.440 and it was done. So I, being a smart ass, 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:18.560 said no, no, it's no one's birthday. I'm just holding 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:24.000 six happy birthday below that are as bigger than my head. Okay, lady, 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:26.719 ring me up and get me out of here. Yes, lady, 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:31.000 you're shady. Okay, Wait, is it possible that like the 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:34.760 balloons were turned around they say happy birthday on both sides, 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:40.880 both sides, and there's six huge ones like stop it, lady, 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:43.400 don't talk to it. How about we just don't talk? 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:46.039 Does you do your job? I pay the money. I'm out. 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:50.200 That's hilarious. That's right. She should have said whose birthday 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:51.919 is it? That would have been a better question. That 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:55.280 would have been a better question, And then that's what 0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:57.360 she meant to say. She followed up with like, so, 0:04:57.400 --> 0:04:59.640 we're all your kids doing great? I was like, what, 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:03.080 you cannot be talking to me right now? You're trying 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:05.000 to have a conversation with me. She clearly knew who 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:08.000 you were. She knew who you were, and he was 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:12.440 I'm there all the time. Really, yes, has she waited 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:14.920 on you before? She hasn't. Guess what, I'm never going 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:17.320 to your line again, lady. That's it for me. She 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:20.279 knew who you were. She probably was a little nervous 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:23.479 because she probably was excited, and she came up with 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:27.440 the dumbest things to ask you, dumb where she should 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:29.839 have just been like, oh my god, whose birthday is? 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.039 The twin's birthday?

And that's 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:35.160 the other part of the It depends on which when 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:36.680 you go to. But you might go to one and 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:40.720 they are terrible, right, So so this one so when 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:43.040 I when I Okay, so first of all, I first 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:46.200 went to the hospital. I went to St. Agnes, which 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:49.480 is in Baltimore. Right off, I just went to the 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:52.640 hospital and the line for the emergency room was out 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:55.919 the door, okay, And I was like, oh, yeah, no, 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:58.080 I'm not going to do it. So then I was like, 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:00.360 let me go to patient first, okay. So I drove 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:04.120 the patient first and I pull up the parking lot 0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:07.120 is completely full, like in the waiting room is so 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:09.320 apparently you know that like it's flu season, that there's 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:16.320 some like respiratoryy retrograde. It's Mars retrograde mark maybe maybe 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:20.640 that's what it is. Um, it's so crazy busy, right, 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:24.080 So I'm like, I'm like, Carter, it's crowded. We're gonna 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:27.880 be here forever, Like, can we can we go home with? Well? 0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:29.440 This is because he did it two days ago. He 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:31.560 did a two days prior. So I'm like, I'm like, 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:34.760 all right, we're just gonna go, you know, tomorrow to 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:38.080 like the place around the corner during the days fired. 0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:41.640 I'm taking your mommy card. So so anyway, so I 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:43.960 was and oh, gosh, on top of him with the 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:48.400 wrist injury, he also was had a swordthroat um congested, 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:50.960 and so I'm like, there for two reasons, okay, So 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:54.200 it's because his wrist hurts, isn't I don't know. I'm 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:56.320 just making this up. A sword you get a swordthroat 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:58.360 when you when when your mommy doesn't take you to 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.280 get your wrists hand old, all of a sudden you 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:04.960 tho't start hurt, that's okay, right, and ever your ailments, yes, 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:08.560 all your ailments come forward. So anyway, so so I'm like, 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:10.360 all right, you know what, let's go in. Let's just see. 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:12.800 So I went in and even though it was a 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:14.920 lot of people, they actually had a really good system 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:16.880 in place, you know what I mean. So like you 0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:20.720 check in and then so one person then like check 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:22.560 you in, they you know, typing all your stuff up, 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.200 blah blah blah, and they're like, okay, um, you know, 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:27.080 go back and wait.

So then literally it's probably like, 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:34.520 you know, I waited five minutes and then they're calling 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:36.480 me to get the vitals. So then they get the vitals, 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:38.840 then they send you back and then you know, you 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:40.480 wait a little bit longer and then they're coming for 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:43.280 the X ray and they send you back and then 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:45.400 you know, and then they waiting again.

So she was like, mommy, 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:45.560 she's calling me, like barely called mommy. So I was like, 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:48.080 a door, it's Angel calling me. She was like yes, 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:50.880 I said, call Angel, and I was exhausted. I said, 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:52.599 called Angel and tell her to come upstairs because she 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:56.240 need to go to bed anyway. So Angel was screaming, Mommy, 0:11:56.320 --> 0:12:00.640 come come. So I go downstairs. She's all out on 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:03.760 the floor and I'm like, Angel, what can I Can 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:07.840 I get you something? She's like no, I just want 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:12.320 to say hi. I was like, oh my gosh, this child, 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:18.720 she's the worst. Shekes it all absolute? Is that the 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:21.920 one where were we Andy calling from the school and 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:24.760 we were here. I was sitting in this very seat. 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:29.160 B ch'all. The school nurse was calling and there was 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:34.320 nothing wrong with the child in any way. Yeah, we 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:42.520 love the children. Okay, there's a national holiday that we 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:47.280 didn't talk about. Robin last week, Rihanna dropped a song 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:54.800 Oh and it became a national sigh of relief. Thank 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:59.240 you Rihanna.

I think it's beautiful. 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:09.120 But I think when people were thinking hearing Rihanna and 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:12.120 new music, they thought it was going to be something 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:16.320 a little like like her own music, like Umbrella Ella Ella. 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:20.320 We're going gets okay, but this song is for the movie. 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:23.120 What conte it is? It has great significance. I'm sure 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:24.880 when you see the movie and you have and the 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:27.800 music is like whatever, Whenever they decided to play this 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:30.560 song in the movie, it's going to be like, it's 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:39.559 gonna be epic. It's a tribute to chat with Boman. Um. 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:42.480 Now are you going to go see the movie? Um? 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:46.200 You know, I don't really like going to the movie theater.

Because she was okay, 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:04.400 so it's like nine days, so we're gonna we're gonna 0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:07.680 take our time climbing.

So I was like strike one okay. 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:32.240 So then I was like so yeah, yeah. So I 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:34.680 was like, so you expect me not to bathe for 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:37.600 nine days and she was like, well, yeah, like we'll 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:42.040 have wipes. What that was strike two and three okay? 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:44.440 So then I was like, so then at night, where 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:46.840 am I sleeping? And she was like okay, So we 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:49.760 have these tents that the the charman's or the people 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:52.280 carry up. So what's in the tent? Like it's in 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:55.400 a mattress. She's like, oh, well, like you know, it's 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:58.240 a tent and what strike four or five and six? 0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:03.480 It's not happening. So she put this out, this email 0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:06.880 out to like a bunch of ladies and she got 0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:09.680 fifteen people to go, right, fifteen crazy people. No, I'm sorry, 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:14.160 fourteen fourteen crazy people to go. Mount Kilimanjaro is in Tanzania, 0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:18.200 in Africa, in Africa, and it is the highest mountain 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:20.400 I think in the world. Yeah, I think so. Yes, 0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:23.399 So you're you're dealing with elevation issues. You're dealing with 0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:26.479 a whole lot of stuff air, like the lack of 0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:30.719 air and everything cold. And yes. So at the end 0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:35.480 of it, she got so these are all black women, successful, beautiful, 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:40.000 accomplished black women. And out of the fourteen, twelve made 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:43.919 it to the highest point because they had the option 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:47.840 to stop and do what because two people said I 0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:50.280 can't do this some more and they had to. I 0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:51.920 guess they helicopt them out of there. I don't know 0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:54.639 they got them out of there. Um that would probably 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:59.639 twelve made it. Say like two people died, No, okay, 0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:04.760 no one died. Like fourteen people. I've made it to 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:06.840 the top. They made to the top. Now on the 0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:08.440 way down, I do know that some people had to 0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:12.240 be carried down and people were having like the elevation 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:16.840 made people have horrible headaches. They were throwing up. Um. 0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:19.480 But long story short, it is the biggest group of 0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:23.679 black women to ever climb Mount kill Ever. I was 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:26.480 watching her stories and first of all, I was like, 0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:30.119 how do you get a cellphone out there? Okay, so wait, 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:32.879 so wait. So she knows somebody who um does a 0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:36.600 lot of work in Tanzania and in just Africa in general, 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:39.680 and they were able to get like some hotspots and 0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:42.600 maybe they brought can you bring WiFi with you in 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:46.240 as they brought WiFi in a box or something, I 0:18:46.280 --> 0:18:49.080 don't know. They had special cell phones, special cell phone 0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:51.199 so they were able to there were some areas that 0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:54.200 they were able to get cell service. One night, I'm sorry, 0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:56.399 one night she FaceTime me. A couple of nights she 0:18:56.480 --> 0:18:59.640 FaceTime to me. It was her night. It was during 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:02.440 the day of me and she was so at night 0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:06.879 was like the worst time because it was very very cold, 0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:10.280 so they would like layer up. She was like, Giselle, 0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:13.560 I'm on like seven layers and I mean, I'm just 0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:16.439 trying to make it through the night. And I'm like, girl, 0:19:16.840 --> 0:19:19.479 no one told you to do right. This is your 0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:23.639 torturing yourself. And I was thinking, like this makes no sense, 0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:26.800 but at the end of it, you accomplished it. So 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:29.199 it did make sense. Oh yeah, sure, I mean I 0:19:29.240 --> 0:19:32.240 saw I was watching her stories and I was just 0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:35.119 I was amazed. I was amazed. I was impressed. I 0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:38.679 was very proud of them. I mean, it's that was 0:19:38.760 --> 0:19:42.080 a lot. And I reflected. So, Giselle, you remember when 0:19:42.200 --> 0:19:45.480 you and I went camping?
