Speaker 1: Welcome to Reasonably Shady, a production of The Black Effect
Speaker 1: Podcast Network and iHeartRadio. Welcome to another episode of Reasonably Shaky.
Speaker 1: I am jezebe Ryant. What's up? What's up? Everyone? This
Speaker 1: is Robin Dixon, so happy to be talking to you
Speaker 1: once again. Thank you for yes, yes, how you're feeling.
Speaker 1: I'm good. You know, today in Maryland we have an
Speaker 1: unseasonably warm day. Yes, Um, it's supposed to get up
Speaker 1: to like eighty degrees today and it's February. This is
Speaker 1: February twenty third, And then in other parts of the
Speaker 1: country it's like a foot of snow, like, right, So
Speaker 1: she would be happy or sad. We should be confused
Speaker 1: and scared. Like I'm a little worried. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm worried for my kids. I
Speaker 1: might be worried for my grandkids because of global warming.
Speaker 1: But it's not warm because across the country it's like
Speaker 1: a bunch of feet of snow. Yeah, but it's just
Speaker 1: something weird going on. Our winters actually here in Maryland
Speaker 1: have been mild for a few years. Like we haven't
Speaker 1: really had no, we haven't had a huge no a
Speaker 1: very long time now. And that means there's something strange.
Speaker 1: I just think the weather might be shifting. Like people
Speaker 1: who didn't get snow before, like in Atlanta, they're getting
Speaker 1: it now. So it's just the weather might be shifting.
Speaker 1: It's not concerning to you. That's a little concerning. However.
Speaker 1: I mean, what am I gonna do with my fur coats?
Speaker 1: I should give them back to Peter, Like Peter like
Speaker 1: spray on them or something. Yeah, donate them to somebody,
Speaker 1: somebody in Atlanta. Oh okay, I send them all down
Speaker 1: to the South. That don't make no sense. And that
Speaker 1: was actually kind of like my shady moment of the week.
Speaker 1: It was going to be the fact that it's um
Speaker 1: flip flop season and it's February right now, you really
Speaker 1: have Okay, you you're a little too excited because you
Speaker 1: how you have flip flops today? Okay, free the toes,
Speaker 1: I mean eighty degrees, but you have a hoodie on,
Speaker 1: so like you're a hoodie and flip flops. Like, look,
Speaker 1: look it is what it is. Look the toes can
Speaker 1: be free. The arms need to be toasty, like arms
Speaker 1: need to be warm. Toes free. Okay, yes, all right,
Speaker 1: but we have another shady moment of the week that's
Speaker 1: more important than my toes. Yeah, it is a collective
Speaker 1: shady moment of the weak. Yes, we have never had
Speaker 1: a collective shady moment, even though I'm sure well we
Speaker 1: should have. Yes, We've had many, Yes, so this one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you know it's all over the news, so of
Speaker 1: course we're gonna talk about it. And um, we have
Speaker 1: been in the process of trademarking reasons we be shady,
Speaker 1: and it has been contested. Yes, someone's contesting it. Yes,
Speaker 1: so so as the world has seen. And it's so crazy.
Speaker 1: First of all, let me tell you, I never thought
Speaker 1: in my life that my name would be in the
Speaker 1: same sentence as Eminem's name or my picture. Yeah, so'll
Speaker 1: be on the same right next to ye, same posts
Speaker 1: on Rolling Stone or people. Take a pick, Take a pick,
Speaker 1: it's everywhere. Just take a pick. Insane, Like when I
Speaker 1: just every day I think my life can't get any weirder,
Speaker 1: it gets weirder. Yes, I'm like, how does it here?
Speaker 1: I don't know because I'm right here with you, so
Speaker 1: I don't know, right. So anyway, so of course, you
Speaker 1: as you write on the news and on the blogs
Speaker 1: and social media, Eminem has Um opposed our application for
Speaker 1: our trademark for the name reasonably Shady. Yes. So we
Speaker 1: applied for the trademark last February, over a year ago.
Speaker 1: And the process is, you know, it's it's it's a
Speaker 1: long drawn out process. So when you apply, you know,
Speaker 1: you send your paperwork in. It takes some you know,
Speaker 1: some months maybe for the Trademark office. I think the
Speaker 1: official you know terminus, well, the official acronym is like
Speaker 1: the US United States Trademark and Patent Office us TPO,
Speaker 1: So it takes you know a good few months for
Speaker 1: them to get to your application to review it, to see,
Speaker 1: you know, if there's anything else that's similar whatever, okay,
Speaker 1: and then they approve it. So our application was approved
Speaker 1: and then once it's official, then you get the trademark
Speaker 1: sple so we have we're registered. But they have to
Speaker 1: allow a certain period for people for the public to
Speaker 1: oppose our trademark. Yes, And on the last day of
Speaker 1: that I think it was like a thirty day period
Speaker 1: that you're allowed to you know that people would be
Speaker 1: given time to oppose it, right, Eminem's lawyers us for
Speaker 1: an extension of time, right, thirty days, thirty day extension
Speaker 1: of time. And then they came back and they opposed
Speaker 1: our trademark. Yep, and when I cannot tell you when
Speaker 1: that email from our lawyer. And hey, if anyone ever
Speaker 1: needs a lawyer for trademark for patents, our lawyer is amazing.
Speaker 1: She represented someone against doctor Dre for the name and
Speaker 1: usage of the name doctor Dre and she won. Um,
Speaker 1: so she's amazing. Her name is Andrea Evans. She's actually
Speaker 1: a family friend, so um. You know, it was very
Speaker 1: easy for me to get to her for her to
Speaker 1: help it out with this. Andrea, Andrea, Andrea Andrea. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: are you sure since since she's a family friend, are
Speaker 1: you sure it's Andrea or Andrea? I'm kidding, moving on, No, No,
Speaker 1: that is amazing. But that is one of those names
Speaker 1: that it's like you can pronounce it in many ways. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she can, right, but there's only one way that's right
Speaker 1: for her, right is because that's what her mama calls exactly. Okay,
Speaker 1: Andrea anyway, Okay, so we do have a statement. Can
Speaker 1: we make a statement? Wait? Can I can we talk
Speaker 1: about our reaction? Oh? Yeah, oh yes, yes, yes, yes, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: go ahead. So, so you called me out the email. Yes,
Speaker 1: my jaw dropped to the floor. I called Jazelle and
Speaker 1: in her it went like straight to voicemen right like twice,
Speaker 1: which never really happens. That I was sitting in my
Speaker 1: on my couch, my favorite place. I don't know why, right,
Speaker 1: never happened. So I texted her and I was like,
Speaker 1: oh MG called me and now and this was like
Speaker 1: right after all of the world lost their mind that
Speaker 1: I talked about my personal business on the podcast, Okay,
Speaker 1: so it was like not talking about again, right, So
Speaker 1: it was like, oh, was like, oh my god, what else?
Speaker 1: What else happened? Right? So she calls me back and
Speaker 1: I'm like dying, laughing, like dying, Like I'm like, this
Speaker 1: is insane, I said, Eminem is opposing our trademark. Right.
Speaker 1: It was just like I mean, it was one of
Speaker 1: those things. It's like we weren't like upset or worried.
Speaker 1: We were tickled. Like I can't believe this, what Like
Speaker 1: who would have thought that Eminem would have cared about
Speaker 1: our little trademark. I don't know, I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't know, but it's a little weird. I don't and
Speaker 1: I don't know who should be offended me or you
Speaker 1: because you're the reasonable one and I'm the shady one.
Speaker 1: The shade is the part of in question, so I
Speaker 1: mean right, yeah, So of course of course it's shady
Speaker 1: that he is. Um. He has a trademark on slim
Speaker 1: shady and Shady and Shady Limited. OK. So he's pretty
Speaker 1: much saying that reasonably shady is too similar to slim,
Speaker 1: shady and shady. It's not. So let's see, I just
Speaker 1: want to read. Yes. So February fourteenth, Eminem and his
Speaker 1: lawyers submitted opposition to Brian and Dixon's application. The opposition
Speaker 1: states plainly that Mathers believes he will be damaged if
Speaker 1: the Patent and Trademark Office grants Bryant and Dixon their
Speaker 1: mark um. In response to that, our lawyer says, Robin
Speaker 1: Dixon and Gizel Briant intend to defend their trademark application
Speaker 1: as there is no likelihood of confusion and consumers are
Speaker 1: not likely to confuse reasonably shady with Mather's Shady Slim
Speaker 1: Shady Shady Limited trademark registrations. The trademarks are not confusingly similar,
Speaker 1: and these services are not related. So we are going
Speaker 1: to go down this road, y'all. Right, for us, we
Speaker 1: are going to keep our name reasonably shady because it
Speaker 1: is near and dear to us. That means it's you know,
Speaker 1: it speaks to us as individuals and our relationship and
Speaker 1: our friendship and just so y'all know, this is going
Speaker 1: to be a long drawn out process. According hopefully not,
Speaker 1: but according to the Rooky so hopefully not. But if
Speaker 1: it does go like the entire way, we may be
Speaker 1: talking about this twenty twenty six into I'm looking at
Speaker 1: like the trial, the schedule of like everything we have
Speaker 1: to do that like goes on. Um, if we go
Speaker 1: the full course, we'll be talking about this at least
Speaker 1: until August of twenty twenty four and beyond. Okay, So
Speaker 1: so yeah, y'all, we I mean were in it, were
Speaker 1: in it to win it. We're really famous now, y'all.
Speaker 1: Y'all speaking of like names and strange names. So you know,
Speaker 1: Kanye came out with, um, you know, he don't speak often,
Speaker 1: and you know we do, we kind of do talk
Speaker 1: about Kanye now because he's a different person. He's married
Speaker 1: to a new woman kind of, so he turned over
Speaker 1: a new leaf, not really, but anyway, so he somebody said,
Speaker 1: if you and Kim got back together, He said, if
Speaker 1: me and Kim got back together, her name is Kim
Speaker 1: and his new name is Yay, So everybody would refer
Speaker 1: to them as Kim Yay, right, Okay, But why couldn't
Speaker 1: it be yeah Kim. This is your idea, This is
Speaker 1: my idea, Like, why couldn't it be ya Kim? Wait?
Speaker 1: He actually entertained this conversation. He think he brought it married. Well,
Speaker 1: she don't count clearly, but I think he brought it up. Okay, So,
Speaker 1: and this is the reason why him and Kim can't
Speaker 1: not get back together. Didn't we already called them Kim
Speaker 1: yay like when people had nicknased. Well, I mean I didn't,
Speaker 1: but like that was already and that was a thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was a thing already. Oh okay, Oh he misses her. Yes,
Speaker 1: I think I want him to call I want the
Speaker 1: new name to be Yakim Yakim, Yes, yea yeay Kim Kim.
Speaker 1: That's that's cute. Yes, But I feel like like a
Speaker 1: narcissist like Kanye would not like that. Well, he would
Speaker 1: be first in the sentence. True, yes, So I thought
Speaker 1: he would appreciate that yeah, okay, yes, anyway, it is
Speaker 1: Black History Month, guys, and we were or at the
Speaker 1: final days of My History month, so you know that
Speaker 1: there's some things we need to say. Yes, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: I do want to read one quote because I feel like,
Speaker 1: you know, we need to remember people from from way
Speaker 1: back when. Okay, Okay, I think I read this before.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna read it again. I might have, but guess what,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna read it again, and y'all gonna like it. Okay,
Speaker 1: Shirley Chisholm said, And I don't even think this early
Speaker 1: and I don't even think this was Shirley Chism you
Speaker 1: know who this was. I to be well, anyway, if
Speaker 1: they don't give you a seat at the table, god
Speaker 1: damn it, bring a fold in chair you She didn't say,
Speaker 1: God damn it. You said this already. Like again, I'm
Speaker 1: saying it again. You said, God damn it, bring a
Speaker 1: fold in chair or make your own table. I'm adding
Speaker 1: to it, Robin, this is Shirley Chisholm slash Jelle Bryant.
Speaker 1: If they don't bring give you a seat at the table,
Speaker 1: damn it, bring a fold in chair or a picnic
Speaker 1: tables or table claw, Davin, bring your own chip. Okay,
Speaker 1: you know what I don't know. I don't know if
Speaker 1: I'm more upset than you add lived Shirley Chisholm, or
Speaker 1: that you forgot that you literally said this last week.
Speaker 1: It needed more emphasis, It needed a little bit to
Speaker 1: make You wanted to make sure, Yes, people bring their
Speaker 1: fold and chairs. I want I want to make sure
Speaker 1: that people get to what they are do what they
Speaker 1: are supposed to have. Okay, Okay, anyway, do you have
Speaker 1: something to say let me let me give the people
Speaker 1: what they really need. Okay, So we gotta um. An
Speaker 1: email from a listener and I appreciate it. This is
Speaker 1: from Katie Simmons. She says, Hi, ladies, my daughter and
Speaker 1: I just listen to your podcast for Monday. I always
Speaker 1: like to learn and I love a good challenge. I
Speaker 1: am a white woman from the South and I'll admit
Speaker 1: I don't know much about black history. You challenged white
Speaker 1: people to learn more about black history. I wanted to
Speaker 1: ask you, guys, who do you recommend our research or
Speaker 1: are there any certain events in black history? Any help
Speaker 1: would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again and keep up
Speaker 1: the great work. We look forward to hearing you every Monday,
Speaker 1: Katie Simmons. She's from Greenwood, Mississippi. So I really appreciate
Speaker 1: this email because it's it's I think sometimes because black
Speaker 1: history is our history and we know it. We know it,
Speaker 1: you know what we've gone through as a as a culture,
Speaker 1: and the you know the what we appreciate listening to
Speaker 1: and stuff that we assume that everyone else knows it too,
Speaker 1: and we don't understand why they're not understanding what's going
Speaker 1: on in the world, what's going on in the community,
Speaker 1: and all of that type of stuff. So I appreciate
Speaker 1: hearing from her saying, you know what, I really don't
Speaker 1: know that much about black history, but can you tell
Speaker 1: me where to go? Where to start? Like where do
Speaker 1: I you know? Where do I start? So I appreciate
Speaker 1: someone that can acknowledge I really don't know and I
Speaker 1: would like to know more and where do I go?
Speaker 1: I want you to start from like the beginning. Clearly
Speaker 1: you can't learn black history and one day, one sitting,
Speaker 1: nothing like that. But I think you to kind of
Speaker 1: understand black African American history from the beginning and go
Speaker 1: from there. So I will suggest watching certain movies or
Speaker 1: series or documentaries. If we want to start, I mean
Speaker 1: it's very raw and very you know, eye opening. But
Speaker 1: maybe start with twelve Years of Slave. Okay, I could
Speaker 1: watch that. I was just so disturbed, okay, or the Roots.
Speaker 1: Couldn't watch the Roots Mini Series. I got like to
Speaker 1: three episodes down. I just was disturbed, right, but you
Speaker 1: already knew that history line. I think it's important for
Speaker 1: someone like Katie to understand what black people endure. Okay, amistad, Amistad, Yeah, okay, horrible,
Speaker 1: start with horrible? Can you start? Okay? I'm sorry, my
Speaker 1: fists in the air right now, I can just okay,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Okay, okay, okay, So watch the Roots Mini series.
Speaker 1: Ok they remade it in twenty sixteen. I sat and
Speaker 1: watched with my kids. They were so enlightened. You know.
Speaker 1: It really helped them understand certain things that they in
Speaker 1: the present day. But we saw it. Were you angry
Speaker 1: as a did you want to did you want to
Speaker 1: fight somebody? Did you want to go outside and fight people? Yes? Okay.
Speaker 1: I just want to make sure yeah, okay, but but
Speaker 1: I think everyone needs to see that they they do
Speaker 1: understand why we are angry. Oh Okay, got it? Okay,
Speaker 1: got it? Okay, so Katie, yes. So whether it's the
Speaker 1: Roots mini series, which um they remade it in twenty sixteen,
Speaker 1: so it's nice and modern and updated, um, twelve years
Speaker 1: of Slave, I'm as stide any of that. Then I
Speaker 1: want you to progress to watching something centered around the
Speaker 1: civil rights era. Um. So I suggest something like a
Speaker 1: documentary like Eyes on the Prize. Okay, you can also
Speaker 1: maybe watch the movie selma Um. Then then watch Friday
Speaker 1: you know what? Then watch this is she is the
Speaker 1: bad kid in the back of the classroom has to
Speaker 1: put in the corner. Go can you go sit in
Speaker 1: a corner with your back turn to us? Please write now? Okay?
Speaker 1: All right? Then I have a telling to go go
Speaker 1: on the Boss up and the show No okay, the
Speaker 1: Jasmine Brand in Hollywood on lot get your Life, no okay,
Speaker 1: Malcolm X. And then from there I think you'll be
Speaker 1: able to navigate you a little bit more on like
Speaker 1: you know what else you want to learn? Have we
Speaker 1: talked about paint? No? Have I told y'all how much
Speaker 1: I love her? No? Okay? So she was on the
Speaker 1: Kelly Clarkson Show the other day and she was singing,
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, that is because she's been
Speaker 1: gone for a minute, okay, And I was like, that
Speaker 1: is like her voice is just yeah, like it's it's
Speaker 1: like it comes from the depths of her toes. And
Speaker 1: I appreciate you, Pink, And I just want let the
Speaker 1: people know. I really like, are you were excited to
Speaker 1: hear her sing? Yes? So can I tell you this.
Speaker 1: I saw a very short clip of a commercial for
Speaker 1: The Masked Singer. Okay, she in it. I believe she is.
Speaker 1: Like I literally saw one commercial and I heard of
Speaker 1: I was like that. I was like, that's Pink. I
Speaker 1: have not watched any of the episodes, so like, somebody,
Speaker 1: if y'all are watching The mask Singer and y'all know
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. If y'all think what I heard
Speaker 1: was Pink and all right, let me let me know, um,
Speaker 1: because I literally heard like it was literally like two
Speaker 1: second clip on a commercial and I just said, that's Pink.
Speaker 1: I think, well, I don't know how you go from
Speaker 1: because she sells out arenas like football feels because but
Speaker 1: because it's fun because she ain't doing nothing else right now, Okay,
Speaker 1: she fun, it's something fun to do. I would go on, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm quite sure you're not getting that phone call. They're
Speaker 1: gonna call eminem first anyway. So California, the state of California,
Speaker 1: in the past two years, five hundred thousand people have left, vacated,
Speaker 1: moved away. Sounds like Florida too, right or no, No,
Speaker 1: people are moving to Florida. I heard they're moving. Now
Speaker 1: they're leaving again. But they're leaving Florida. But in two
Speaker 1: years they can they can you know, they've done their
Speaker 1: little I don't know reports or whatever. Five hundred thousand
Speaker 1: people have left that is I don't know. Oh, crime, wildfires, wildfires, routs, taxes,
Speaker 1: Kim yay the ya Kim yake him. Those are the reasons.
Speaker 1: So like I want to know, like where are they going?
Speaker 1: Where are Florida? I guess if you said people are
Speaker 1: moving to Florida, Yeah, yeah, they're moving to Florida. They're
Speaker 1: moving to Okay, Potomac. They're not coming here. No, No,
Speaker 1: they're not going. Can you imagine what depends on what
Speaker 1: part of California? I just can't imagine anyone moving from
Speaker 1: like a beautiful weather yes place and moving here like no, well,
Speaker 1: I mean our weather isn't bad. The humidity in the summer. True,
Speaker 1: it's got all, but they have the fog that m
Speaker 1: hayes in the morning that I can't stand. You know,
Speaker 1: when your eyes start burning, when you wake up in
Speaker 1: the eyes are burning. No, I've never we never talked
Speaker 1: about this. I do want to talk about my eyes burning.
Speaker 1: So we were in Mexico on The Real Housewives Potomac.
Speaker 1: We were sitting at that table and we're talking and
Speaker 1: when they were cooking that food and we're cooking the
Speaker 1: food is very colorful. That night, all of our eyes
Speaker 1: were burning and our eyelashes burned off. It was horrible. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it was hot, and nobody could really tell. Like,
Speaker 1: this is what I don't like about television. Y'all can
Speaker 1: never tell how cold it is, how hot it is, right,
Speaker 1: or like what we're really going through, Yeah, how uncomfortable
Speaker 1: it is anything. Yeah, yeah, that's true. Right. It's like
Speaker 1: because even um shooting that Miami trip, well you couldn't
Speaker 1: really tell. I guess they showed us like getting rained on,
Speaker 1: but it wasn't like they didn't show like the magnitude
Speaker 1: of the rains. Yeah, no, they didn't like you, And
Speaker 1: I got like poor, I got demolished. But anyway, yeah, yeah, anyway,
Speaker 1: but the burning, Yes, eyes were definitely burning because they
Speaker 1: were cooking food right next to us. And then it's
Speaker 1: like you you leave California and were and if you
Speaker 1: let's say, you say, why do your eyes burn in
Speaker 1: California from the pollution in the morning? You know? The fall?
Speaker 1: The haze you know how in California is small. That's it.
Speaker 1: That's it. That's what do I call it? Fall? Fall?
Speaker 1: It is small? Oh smog, small smog, It's one of them.
Speaker 1: It is horrible in the morning. Yeah, so you have
Speaker 1: to wait for that to burn off, that's what they
Speaker 1: call it has to burn off. Oh really yeah, which
Speaker 1: is about eleven o'clock. Oh wow. Maybe, So you can't
Speaker 1: go outside until them you do. But you gotta close
Speaker 1: your eyes. I'm like, real tight, or put your glasses on.
Speaker 1: But glasses don't protect you gotta have goggles like yes,
Speaker 1: your big jackie yos put those on. Anyway, I kind
Speaker 1: of I'm gonna do some research and find out where
Speaker 1: these five hundred thousand people are going. Yeah, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: coming here. I'm gonna circle No, they're not coming here,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna circle back. Maybe it just got to explain. Oh,
Speaker 1: you know they're probably going to like Montana and North Dakota,
Speaker 1: like Alaska, like all these like yeah, and living like

Speaker 1: what hunt because I was waiting for my code. Mike.
Speaker 1: You know, I had the email with the code because
Speaker 1: I had registered and all that good stuff, and I

Speaker 1: do anything important, you got to sit in the corner
Speaker 1: and concentrate and concentrate and make sure your feet are
Speaker 1: warm for whatever reason, and like, get it done. So
Speaker 1: I got it done. Okay, okay. Yes. So so a
Speaker 1: wonderful listener and Instagram follower messaged me and said, the
Speaker 1: tickets for the Maryland show are open. You don't need
Speaker 1: a code, you can go on there. And I was like, oh, yes.
Speaker 1: So I went right on there and it was right
Speaker 1: low and behold, it was right I was going down.
Speaker 1: I got found my tickets and then a screen popped
Speaker 1: up and it was like into your coat, and I
Speaker 1: was like, I'm like, I don't have a code, and
Speaker 1: then I just hit the X button to close it
Speaker 1: out and I kept on going. Oh, they didn't ask
Speaker 1: me for my code. They did, what dare you faith? Fifth? Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm the sex oh man, I know because like because
Speaker 1: of why I went on the fifth, you probably bought
Speaker 1: up all the tickets, all the good tickets were gone. Well, no,
Speaker 1: there were still tickets. I probably didn't. Like, I don't
Speaker 1: want where you want, like you want to be on
Speaker 1: the floor. I want to be up close from personal
Speaker 1: where where you sitting. I'm like row four huh of
Speaker 1: like of one hundred level like one hundred level section. Okay, yeah, no, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't I want to be like I don't want
Speaker 1: to be like this, like my neck craned and like,
Speaker 1: you know, I want to be like Okay, so I'm
Speaker 1: like row four huh of a one hundred level sections
Speaker 1: like kind of like they're good seats, they're great seats. Actually,
Speaker 1: they're they're really good. So yeah, so I got the tickets, right,
Speaker 1: So I bought two tickets. Yeah, and then when my
Speaker 1: kids came over school, I was like, I gotta be
Speaker 1: yance tickets and they were like, I'm going, I'm going
Speaker 1: both I'm were like I'm going, and I was like, um,
Speaker 1: I want to think about y'all. But I'm like, shit,
Speaker 1: now I need to buy two more. Okay, you're gonna
Speaker 1: put them in a four hundreds. So no, I actually
Speaker 1: literally bought So I turned around and bought two more
Speaker 1: tickets in the row right in front of me. Okay,
Speaker 1: in the same section, right and yeah. Now I have
Speaker 1: buyer's remorse. You have buyers remorse. I've spent a lot
Speaker 1: of money on his freaking tickets. Listen. I'm like, ain't
Speaker 1: no freaking way. I'm like, I don't. I don't spend
Speaker 1: as much money on a handbag, Like I don't. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: hell no, I don't have buyers remorse, and I spent
Speaker 1: a lot for mine. I have buyers remorse. But you
Speaker 1: bought two about two? I didn't buy four about two four? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you bought four. What you can sell it? I might
Speaker 1: be selling two of them. Yeah, Okay, I might be
Speaker 1: selling too, but the boys want to go? Do they
Speaker 1: really want to go? If I asked him to sing
Speaker 1: a Beyonce song, they probably cannot do it. Why why
Speaker 1: why we always gotta sing the song? I mean, okay, true,
Speaker 1: but I'm just like, I don't even do they really
Speaker 1: want to go? I don't even think these are your kids,
Speaker 1: I know. So I'm going to put them to the test.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make them sing. Yeah, they go ahead to
Speaker 1: do that because I have buyers remorse. I spent way
Speaker 1: too much money on these damn tickets. Okay, well over
Speaker 1: something that I originally said I wasn't ever going to.
Speaker 1: But I've done seeing her fifty million times a concert.
Speaker 1: But you know, this could be the last one. This
Speaker 1: could be And okay, so have you have you seen
Speaker 1: the debate with Stephanie Mills, Diana Ross and Beyonce talking
Speaker 1: about Diana Ross and Beyonce, No, so, step somebody was
Speaker 1: interviewing Stephanie Mills, and y'all if y'all don't know who
Speaker 1: she is, because she's been kind of like out of
Speaker 1: the game for a minute, but she was huge years
Speaker 1: ago and she was like, I think the original Dorothy
Speaker 1: for the Whiz on Broadway. Yeah, beautiful, strong voice. Yes,
Speaker 1: small body, big big voice, big voice. She's great. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Somebody asked her about I think Diana Ross, and she
Speaker 1: was saying, how Diana Ross is so classy and glamorous,
Speaker 1: and Diana Ross was like the epitome in her time
Speaker 1: of just being that right, and so then the guy
Speaker 1: was like kind of wanting her to compare Diana to Beyonce,
Speaker 1: and she was like, I don't think you can compare
Speaker 1: Beyonce to Diana Ross. I mean in terms of stardom,
Speaker 1: it's still different. It's hip hop. I consider Beyonce hip hop.
Speaker 1: I consider Diana R and B and pop, and just
Speaker 1: I consider her royalty. By the way, the Beehive is
Speaker 1: coming for Stephanie Mills. So this is why we're talking
Speaker 1: about this. But um, it's kind of like in my
Speaker 1: mind Michael Jordan and Lebron. Yeah, it's a different day
Speaker 1: in time exactly because Stephanie Mills was like Beyonce's hip hop,
Speaker 1: which I don't really feel like she's hip hop, especially
Speaker 1: not She's far more urban. Yeah, but like this last
Speaker 1: album I didn't think was hip hop. That was more
Speaker 1: like R and b ish No, yeah, yeah, yeah, um no,
Speaker 1: it's not. Beyonce's not hip hop. I mean, she definitely
Speaker 1: has songs that would qualify as hip hop, but I
Speaker 1: wouldn't call her a hip hop artist. But like, why
Speaker 1: do we even have to compare? They're both fantastic. Well
Speaker 1: that's what people do. I mean, you know what I'm saying. Like,
Speaker 1: so I think it's I think and I think it's
Speaker 1: interesting for someone to compare for her, to compare the
Speaker 1: two because she has seen them both in their prime
Speaker 1: right right, and appreciated them both in their prime, and
Speaker 1: so it's like, okay, well what's your perspect kinda, So
Speaker 1: it's not it's not like okay, I mean whatever, Stephani Emils.
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean like okay, that's solid gold or whatever.
Speaker 1: It's just interesting to see her perspective. But I do
Speaker 1: agree it's like comparing Lebron to Michael Jordan, like it's
Speaker 1: two totally different eras, Yes, two different genres kind of yeah,
Speaker 1: style of play, yes, all of that. So with Beyonce
Speaker 1: and Stephanie Miles two different genres. Two yeah, Beyonce and
Speaker 1: Dana Ross two different genres. But also like technology was
Speaker 1: just different, right, you know, they're both classy, they're both glamorous,
Speaker 1: but I don't think I just think they're different. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but let me just say I don't want the behalf
Speaker 1: to continue to come for Stephanie Miles like she was
Speaker 1: giving them both love. Right, you know what I don't
Speaker 1: like And I mean just hearing that, Like I don't
Speaker 1: like when someone says something that you don't agree with
Speaker 1: that you have to attack them. Yeah, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. Like, and that happens a lot in our industry.
Speaker 1: Like you know, I know people that support us get attacked,
Speaker 1: and that's just not right, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: It's just like it's it's that is is like like
Speaker 1: why can't people have a difference of opinion? Why can't
Speaker 1: people like you know, the color blue instead of the
Speaker 1: color orange, or you know, like Beyonce or or Diana Ross.
Speaker 1: Like that's it's just let's appreciate each other's differences. Yes,
Speaker 1: people need to stop that, like harassing people because they
Speaker 1: like something that you don't like, Right, that's extremely childish.
Speaker 1: Just respect that people have a difference of opinions, a
Speaker 1: difference of experiences, a differing of values, a differing of
Speaker 1: things that they like like it's just it's just that's
Speaker 1: just crazy to me. But anyway it is. I mean,
Speaker 1: if I had to pick one or the other, I'm
Speaker 1: going to pick Beyonce, Yes, I mean week I'm sure
Speaker 1: my dad will pick Diana Ross. Yes, we will definitely
Speaker 1: pick the queen Bee. But no shade to Diana. She
Speaker 1: Diana Ross was the boss, right, okay, the original boss
Speaker 1: right the end. We ask you guys to ask us anything,
Speaker 1: and you all, you know, y'all never disappoint y'all. We
Speaker 1: got questions of all questions of all questions. So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna read a couple that are quick. This one says
Speaker 1: from Pink Pop Box, who we love the Pink Pop
Speaker 1: Pop Boxes asked, are the deer still a problem in
Speaker 1: my house? Like in my yard? Because you know, the
Speaker 1: deer eat up all my foliage? Is that right? Foliage? Foliage? Um, foliage,
Speaker 1: not flowers, roughage. Anyway, they eat up my stuff outside
Speaker 1: my house. So there, let me tell you what the
Speaker 1: problem is now. Yeah, so I have lights that go
Speaker 1: down my driveway and around my little circular thing, and
Speaker 1: I think in them frolicking, they kick my lights, so
Speaker 1: like I am constantly trying to like put my lights
Speaker 1: back up. They're kind of they've broken a couple, and
Speaker 1: I know it's them because they're mad at me, and
Speaker 1: I'm cool with them being mad at me. Just go
Speaker 1: frolic somewhere else. Why are they mad at you? Because
Speaker 1: they because I didn't take it away all their food,
Speaker 1: anything that they try to eat, I have replaced with
Speaker 1: something else that they don't like. Okay, yeah, so they're mad,
Speaker 1: so they just want to kick my lights. So you
Speaker 1: replace it with like another some sort of plant or
Speaker 1: flower that they know that they don't like. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: if you go to like American plant or any nursery, yeah,
Speaker 1: they'll tell you the ones that the deer will not
Speaker 1: mess with. Okay, yeah, because either they don't like it
Speaker 1: or make them sick or whatever. Okay, but are they
Speaker 1: still like attractive like pretty plants or flowers. Not as much,
Speaker 1: but I have to you know, I'd rather it's something
Speaker 1: be there than it just be a stick because they
Speaker 1: didn't ate eating all the leaves. Right, So yes, so
Speaker 1: answer your question, pink box, they're mad at me. Okay,
Speaker 1: So are you going to um in the spring like
Speaker 1: plant more flowers or something and just use some sort
Speaker 1: of deer deterrent. Okay, this is the problem with the
Speaker 1: deer deterent. Okay, the we've hair, I still don't know
Speaker 1: if that works. The deer spray smells so horrible. It
Speaker 1: smells like rotting meat. Okay that yeah, that would deter
Speaker 1: me too. Yes, no one's coming in my house, not
Speaker 1: even the ups man. Um. It smells so bad that
Speaker 1: I don't even want to go there with that. Um.
Speaker 1: And if you get it on your hands, that spray
Speaker 1: on your hands, your hands are left for a minute. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that's very unattractive, especially if you trying to have
Speaker 1: sex with somebody anyway. So that's where the d are
Speaker 1: mad at me and they're kicking over my lights. Um.
Speaker 1: This is a This is a nice question because we've
Speaker 1: never talked about this, Robin. If if we had to
Speaker 1: add a third host to the show, who would an
Speaker 1: ideal host be? Oh, that's fun, Okay, maybe a guy?
Speaker 1: Would you want a guy? Maybe? Um? But like, who? Like?
Speaker 1: What guy we can add? Charlomagne? Thanks, we could just
Speaker 1: go and just call it reasonably shady breakfast club, let's see, Okay, Like, honestly,
Speaker 1: we need to get cow on here one day. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: cow would be fun because Cow is so funny. Yeah energy,
Speaker 1: it's like off the charts, yes, yes, so infectious. And
Speaker 1: yeah he's just as shady as you. But he's so
Speaker 1: sweet he is. He's a nice shade. Yeah. I think
Speaker 1: we should. Cow would be good. Yeah. I think we
Speaker 1: should have him like as a regular light. Sometimes we're like, okay,
Speaker 1: we can get him. Yeah, yeah, we'll get Cow. Okay
Speaker 1: when it Okay, he's in the he's in his hair salon.
Speaker 1: We would have to do it on Tuesday through Friday. Okay, yeah, Cow,
Speaker 1: Cow works Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. That's it. Half day Tuesday.
Speaker 1: Cow's making all the money. Y'all are in right? Oh? Nice? Um? Okay, Um,
Speaker 1: let's see anyone else? What about you? I think of anyone, Well,
Speaker 1: the only person I can think of, like in our
Speaker 1: world is Ashley. I think Ashley would add a young, perky,
Speaker 1: dynamic huh okay um, but what about someone not in
Speaker 1: our world? Like, okay, so someone not in our world? Um,
Speaker 1: I think we've talked about her before, but like Regina
Speaker 1: Hall of the actress. Oh yeah, she's funny. Yeah she's
Speaker 1: really funny. Yes, so appreciate her. Yeah, just someone that
Speaker 1: has like a funny personality. Yes, and even if we're
Speaker 1: gonna do if we're speaking a little bit more intelligently,
Speaker 1: because you know, we kind of speak kind of crazy
Speaker 1: like Sonny from the view, Like she has that like
Speaker 1: legal background and she can be shady, but she her
Speaker 1: shade is always from like facts, right yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that would be interesting. Yeah, she would be fact checking
Speaker 1: you all the time. She's like, um, just out that's
Speaker 1: not true, not correct. So anyway, my my number one
Speaker 1: would be, um, Charlottagne, but or maybe maybe Wendy Williams,
Speaker 1: you know what. Well she came out the other day
Speaker 1: and moving on. Uh so this okay, I'll let you
Speaker 1: do one. Okay, um, let's see Okay, we gotta are

Speaker 1: I think we have time for like one more or
Speaker 1: a couple more. So if if any and we'll do
Speaker 1: we'll do more of these later on another show. But anyway,
Speaker 1: if any of your five children we have five, yeah,
Speaker 1: we have five kids. Oh yeah, because I want to
Speaker 1: talk about a door really quickly. If any of your
Speaker 1: five children said that they would like to do reality
Speaker 1: TV one day, what would you say, Yeah, your name? Um,
Speaker 1: I would I mean yeah, like I mean you know,
Speaker 1: it's so funny, like when people like message us sometimes
Speaker 1: and like, how can you say that you got kids
Speaker 1: and your kids this and your kids that. I'm like,
Speaker 1: my kids don't watch the show. They don't watch the show.
Speaker 1: My kids have never talked to me about the show, right,
Speaker 1: so when someone else on our show, I won't really
Speaker 1: say who recently is like my kids said this and
Speaker 1: their teacher said this, and I'm like, that's weird. My
Speaker 1: kids never has never, not once said one thing to
Speaker 1: us about the show. And like you can imagine a
Speaker 1: lot has been said about the show, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Like and you individually me individually, Yeah, wan,
Speaker 1: all of that, and I'm like, no teacher has ever
Speaker 1: said anything to my kids about what happens on the show.
Speaker 1: They might say, oh, I love the show, I love
Speaker 1: your parents, blah blah, but they're not talking like it's
Speaker 1: I'm just like, so that's kind of like a different
Speaker 1: answer to that question. My kids don't have a bad
Speaker 1: experience with reality TV. And yeah, like I mean, it's
Speaker 1: of course I would tell them just to you know,
Speaker 1: use their um, you know, whatever feels right to them, right,
Speaker 1: Like my experience with reality TV, Yes, it's is it hard?
Speaker 1: Is it? You know? Invasive? But I feel like I've
Speaker 1: remained myself like it hasn't um You know, of course
Speaker 1: you have bad experiences, but you also have great experiences.
Speaker 1: I think as long as you are confident in yourself
Speaker 1: that I would just I would be fine with them
Speaker 1: doing whatever. I agree. I agree Now artemists mo move.
Speaker 1: You obviously don't listen to the podcast because you're asking

Speaker 1: because yes, because I want to this is I have
Speaker 1: a lot of questions. Okay, okay, all right, all right,
Speaker 1: but lastly, I want to talk about a door really quickly,
Speaker 1: if you don't mind. A door is a junior in
Speaker 1: high school. When she was maybe in fifth or sixth grade,
Speaker 1: maybe seventh grade, she was like, I want to play lacrosse.
Speaker 1: And I was like, okay, great, ye now to start
Speaker 1: lacrosse at that age, you're behind in Maryland for sure. Yes,
Speaker 1: you're totally behind. So she's and they didn't have it
Speaker 1: at her school. So she would take all of these
Speaker 1: camps and stuff. So she started this camp and every
Speaker 1: day I can buy pick her up and she get
Speaker 1: in a car and she started crying. She was like,
Speaker 1: I'm not as good as anybody else. They are all
Speaker 1: laughing at me. She she just would think that they're
Speaker 1: laughing at her. And every day she would just cry,
Speaker 1: and I'd be like, a door, just you know, one
Speaker 1: day at a time, just practice because nothing lacrosse is
Speaker 1: very much a running sport and a stick sport. You
Speaker 1: got to practice. Yeah, So she would she made me
Speaker 1: buy her those one of those big bounce back the
Speaker 1: thing that I hate. But she would out there practicing
Speaker 1: and practice and practice. She was like, you know, at
Speaker 1: the time, she was like, I just want to play
Speaker 1: varsity lacrosse when I get to high school. And she
Speaker 1: just called me because she made the team. She started
Speaker 1: trying out two days ago, and the coach comes out,
Speaker 1: it's everybody's JV. It's anybody that wants to play. And
Speaker 1: last year she played JV. Last year she played JV
Speaker 1: and was her captain of the team. She has gotten
Speaker 1: so much better. So the coach comes out and the
Speaker 1: coaches like, um, everybody who played varsity last year goes
Speaker 1: stay into the right and so they did one drill
Speaker 1: and then the coach was like, all right, Adore, you
Speaker 1: go stay in a varsity. At that point, she was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm gona make it. I think I'm
Speaker 1: gonna make it. So after that tryout the first day
Speaker 1: she was she like jumped into the car. She was like, Mommy,
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna meet ye Oh my gosh. It's
Speaker 1: just so amazing. So it's just like a journey that
Speaker 1: she was born and she got there. So, like long
Speaker 1: story short, if you're crying in the beginning of whatever
Speaker 1: it is that you're doing, just keep doing it, yes,
Speaker 1: and just keep working hard because it will pay off. Yes,
