Speaker 1: Welcome to Reasonably Shady, a production of The Black Effect
Speaker 1: Podcast Network and iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: Welcome to another episode of Reasonably Shady. I am Jiselle Bryant.
Speaker 3: What's up? What's up everyone? I'm Robin Dixon, Robin Dixie.
Speaker 1: Thank you for being here with us once again. Yes,
Speaker 1: we appreciate you as always as all that way, never ever, ever,
Speaker 1: ever ever changed.
Speaker 2: No, our reasonably Shasters. Yes, we love them, love them
Speaker 2: so much. Yeah, what's going on with peoplelue? Oh, let's
Speaker 2: see shady moment?
Speaker 1: Yes of the week. Yeah, just happened. Yes, it did,
Speaker 1: like over an hour ago a little bit.
Speaker 3: It was very shady. Yes.
Speaker 1: So you know, as we've shared, sometimes when we record,
Speaker 1: we record two episodes at a time. Okay, so this
Speaker 1: is the second one of our episodes.
Speaker 3: Do we need to tell them all of that? No,
Speaker 3: they don't need to know that, No, remain mysterious.
Speaker 1: Well, I think we said that in response to, like, like,
Speaker 1: sometimes we can't really address certain things, We can't address
Speaker 1: things in a timely manner because you know, just to
Speaker 1: explain that, like sometimes we can't really address current events
Speaker 1: because it right exactly, So that's why anyway, Okay, but yeah,
Speaker 1: So while we were recording our previous episode, which you
Speaker 1: heard last week, we were like eleven minutes into the show,
Speaker 1: and we were like, you know, had good conversation, talked
Speaker 1: about just the response from my announcement that I was leaving,
Speaker 1: and blah blah blah ah this eleven now, Actually, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: We were probably like fourteen minutes into the.
Speaker 1: Show, okay, And I looked down at our recorder and
Speaker 1: it was on zero's yes all zeros, which is a
Speaker 1: panic yes, and when that happens, that means it's not recording.
Speaker 1: So I realized that our memory card was full, and
Speaker 1: it was just a whole frantic panic because it's really
Speaker 1: hard to like recreate what we've already talked.
Speaker 3: About, right, So we didn't want to lose that, right.
Speaker 3: We didn't want to lose it.
Speaker 1: Because when we talk, we're really talking, you know, it's
Speaker 1: just very organic, it's very natural.
Speaker 3: It's really hard to recreate that.
Speaker 1: And so fortunately I was able to check the card
Speaker 1: and see, like, first I thought.
Speaker 3: Like, oh my gosh, we didn't get any of it right, And.
Speaker 2: I'm immediately like calling Taylor, who's our producer, and he
Speaker 2: and he is like misterfix it with everything and I'm like,
Speaker 2: walk us through this.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, So I found that we actually recorded eleven
Speaker 1: minutes of the show and then the card was full
Speaker 1: and it was stopped recording. So it was like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, thank god. So at least we have these
Speaker 1: eleven minutes. We don't have to we create what we
Speaker 1: already did because it wouldn't have felt natural anymore. So
Speaker 1: we were able to like save that, we were able
Speaker 1: to clear the card off. I mean, it definitely pushed
Speaker 1: our schedule back a little bit, and Jaselle's already like.
Speaker 3: So anyway, it was just like a big frantic moment.
Speaker 3: But I want to like.
Speaker 1: Shout out to Taylor because when you listen to the episode,
Speaker 1: you guys will never know that happens. Ever, Like Taylor
Speaker 1: is a magician. Yes, I tell you, there's sometimes we
Speaker 1: might talk about something and we might be like, eh,
Speaker 1: take that out, we need to take that out, and I'll,
Speaker 1: you know, email Taylor and I'd be like, Taylor, can
Speaker 1: you find a part where Jelle said something really.
Speaker 3: Always me? Probably yes, always me, And I'm like take
Speaker 3: it out right.
Speaker 1: Take it out please, and he will take it out
Speaker 1: and it will sound like it never happened.
Speaker 3: Yeah, never happened.
Speaker 1: He actually did that one of our Patreon our recent one.
Speaker 1: Remember it was the thing that I told you that
Speaker 1: we needed to to take out because it you know,
Speaker 1: it wasn't.
Speaker 3: Really discussed or whatever you want to tell the people now.
Speaker 1: No, no, anyway, So when I listened to it, I
Speaker 1: was like, I mean, seamless, seamless.
Speaker 3: It was so crazy. I was like, Taylor is the
Speaker 3: bomb and what he does.
Speaker 1: People would these production people they don't get the credit
Speaker 1: because they're behind the scenes, you know, and not just
Speaker 1: you know Taylor with the audio, but the crew that
Speaker 1: works on any television show. They don't get the credit,
Speaker 1: but they work so imagine and they work hard. Yes,
Speaker 1: if you're not working hard, you need to leave.
Speaker 3: So that was a shady moment.
Speaker 1: It was very stressful and Giselle is like looking at
Speaker 1: me like yet done.
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, So my shady moment. I was washing my hair.
Speaker 2: I don't really do that that often, but I was
Speaker 2: washing my hair in my house.
Speaker 3: Myself do it.
Speaker 1: Often because like somebody, because you go to the hair slank.
Speaker 3: Okay, no, I just have dirty hair that too.
Speaker 2: Anyway, washed my hair and it was drying up and
Speaker 2: my daughter Grace calls me and she's like, I answer
Speaker 2: the phone.
Speaker 3: My hair is like curly and just like big. She
Speaker 3: answered the phone and.
Speaker 2: She's like, whoa, what is happening? And she proceeds to
Speaker 2: tell me that my curl.
Speaker 3: Pattern ain't right right, And I'm like.
Speaker 2: First of all, how can you look at somebody and
Speaker 2: say that they're God given the curl pattern?
Speaker 3: It's not right. That is just rude. That is rude
Speaker 3: and shady, right, And I was like, well, what do
Speaker 3: you mean? She was like, it just don't look right.
Speaker 3: You just and then she blamed it on me because
Speaker 3: she said because I normally like have my hair like straightened,
Speaker 3: then I totally ruined my curl pattern. Yes, and she's the.
Speaker 1: Curl pattern queen, right, clearly right.
Speaker 2: And I have a problem with it because God gave
Speaker 2: me my little curls, right, leave me alone.
Speaker 3: So how do you feel about your curls?
Speaker 2: So she's gonna come when she comes home for spring break,
Speaker 2: I mean summer vacation.
Speaker 3: She's going she wants me to like wear my hair curly.
Speaker 3: But it's a whole process.
Speaker 2: She got like twelve different products, right, and then she
Speaker 2: got to run it through the whole from from the
Speaker 2: roof to the tip.
Speaker 3: Yes, and it's a whole thing. It's a process. She
Speaker 3: wants to walk me through that. She wants to do
Speaker 3: it for you.
Speaker 1: Yes, Okay, tell me how that works out for you
Speaker 1: because my curl pattern, Yeah, it is awful, Like.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, because we've been getting our hair straight.
Speaker 1: Right, because we can we get it straightened. We have color,
Speaker 1: and the color reallys it. Yeah, but I have like
Speaker 1: different curl patterns in different parts of my hair. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's horrendous.
Speaker 3: So I'm probably not gonna go through with this. Well
Speaker 3: I want to.
Speaker 1: I think you should, right, I think you should allow
Speaker 1: her to try, okay and see what happens. But I
Speaker 1: kind of think I don't know if yours can be
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know that you can do the
Speaker 1: same thing that she does. No, because your hair is
Speaker 1: not the same and my hair is older, right and
Speaker 1: crunchy and brittle.
Speaker 3: Yes, and it's not.
Speaker 2: But she's been wearing her hair curly because it's so
Speaker 2: hot in Florida, right, And she does say it takes
Speaker 2: more time and all that, but she loves it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, So I feel like she was just.
Speaker 1: Keeping it real with you, she will, Oh totally. And
Speaker 1: so the shadiness is your curl pattern?
Speaker 3: Oh, because mine is awful? Awful? Yeah, I hate it. Well,
Speaker 3: it is what it is. Okay. So I wanted to
Speaker 3: last week. I wanted to talk about Jamie Fox, and
Speaker 3: we didn't get the opportunity. So have you seen Jamie
Speaker 3: Fox order the chicken wings? No? Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2: Okay, So I don't know how this video got out,
Speaker 2: but it's Jamie Fox ordering I guess for his family
Speaker 2: or whatever.
Speaker 3: So he orders six hundred chicken wings.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, do you know how expensive chicken wings
Speaker 1: are these days?
Speaker 3: I think Jamie could afford it, of course I can,
Speaker 3: of course you can. What was happening? Was this a
Speaker 3: family reunion? Okay, I'm trying to turn it up to Robinica.
Speaker 4: Here two one hundred living pepper, bobecue wings. Two we'll
Speaker 4: go ahead, and oh were coming, so we got it?
Speaker 4: What else you got?
Speaker 3: Oh my god, this is a wing stop. Yeah, he
Speaker 3: ordered two hundred lemon pepper. He ordered like two hundred
Speaker 3: hot and spicy and one hundred barbecue or something crazy. Insane.
Speaker 3: That is insane.
Speaker 1: I need to know what the occasion was but I
Speaker 1: would love it if Jamie Fox called my job seeking
Speaker 1: in order?
Speaker 2: Oh yes, back to him, No, she didn't think it
Speaker 2: was him what And that's why he kept saying like, oh,
Speaker 2: you're gonna be surprised when I come up there and
Speaker 2: get these wings.
Speaker 3: Right. I'm sure he sends somebody else, but right, who
Speaker 3: the hell?
Speaker 2: And then wait a minute at the end, after he
Speaker 2: ordered like six hundred wings, right, she said, okay, thank
Speaker 2: you'll be ready for twenty minutes.
Speaker 3: Twenty minutes. Okay. That blew me.
Speaker 2: So this particular wingstop has all of these wings just
Speaker 2: ready to go twenty.
Speaker 3: Minutes, twenty minutes. Well, I would think.
Speaker 1: Six hundred wings is like their daily around wings.
Speaker 2: Right there that they're apparently not they ready to whip
Speaker 2: up six hundred wings in twenty minutes.
Speaker 3: That's kind of scary. Why are you telling? Right?
Speaker 1: That's really scary when you think about just food production is.
Speaker 2: What the scary wast wingstop for me? But I'm just
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna be shady. Now do you eat blueberries?
Speaker 3: I do? Yeah? How many do you eat? So?
Speaker 1: Like every day? So like to what did I eat
Speaker 1: today today? I had blue berries in my yogurts.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll probably put like fifteen in it.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, that's a lot. That's good, Okay.
Speaker 2: Because they Okay, so the doctor reveals that blueberries make
Speaker 2: you smarter.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 2: Yes, so the extract or even the equivalent of one
Speaker 2: couple of blueberries has improves your cognitive cognition. Cognitive cognitive cognitive,
Speaker 2: your memory, your executive functioning. Multiple studies show for even
Speaker 2: children and adults across your lifespan.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you eat.
Speaker 2: Blueberries, okay, you're gonna be smart as hell. Okay, yes,
Speaker 2: all right, I just know that blueberries are what they
Speaker 2: call a superfood like it. They're very extremely healthy. They're
Speaker 2: one of the fruits. I guess they're like low glass.
Speaker 1: They're a low glacemic fruit, you know, like watermelon and pineapple,
Speaker 1: which has a lot of sugar. Blueberries is lower on
Speaker 1: the glacemic index and it has tons of antioxidants.
Speaker 3: Yes, so I need to get some berries. Yeah, you
Speaker 3: don't eat blueberry I mean not like that.
Speaker 2: I mean, if I'm if I'm out somewhere and whatever
Speaker 2: I'm eating has blueberries in it, Okay, cool, But I'm
Speaker 2: not like intentionally getting blueberry O.
Speaker 1: No, I intentionally get blueberries really, yes, and that is
Speaker 1: like in my daily Greek yogurt or cottage cheese.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you but you walk around your house in circles.
Speaker 3: So like that hasn't stopped you from doing that, Robin.
Speaker 1: I know, I'm like, I didn't know about the cognitive benefits.
Speaker 3: Yes, because I can function it white reap them. Yet
Speaker 3: what is it gonna kick?
Speaker 2: But right, I'm still waiting. I don't know, but I
Speaker 2: don't but it well, it's gonna kick in. Oh lord,
Speaker 2: I hope so oh my gosh. No, Actually the scary
Speaker 2: part is, oh my gosh, what if I didn't eat blueberries?
Speaker 2: What would my life be like?
Speaker 3: Right? Right?
Speaker 2: Look, watch out wand rob is just gonna be walking
Speaker 2: around the whole yard in circles, okay, right, why gonna
Speaker 2: be like out the wind?
Speaker 3: Though, like Robin, what's wrong with you? I'll be a vegetable?
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, this is.
Speaker 2: But I do love the fact that you know, we
Speaker 2: can pinpoint something to say, hey, that will help you.
Speaker 3: Right, there's a direct connection. But you know, it's so funny.
Speaker 1: I saw a story on the It like ran across
Speaker 1: the bottom ticker of the screen and it said eating
Speaker 1: junk food in your teenage years, Like eating a heavy, heavily.
Speaker 3: Laden diet with junk.
Speaker 1: Food or whatever, I don't know, whatever the terminology is
Speaker 1: in your teenage years leads to cognitive issues Oh wow
Speaker 1: later in life. And my first thought was, how did
Speaker 1: they determine that?
Speaker 3: Like, what will they do studies?
Speaker 1: Okay, so when they did a study on people with
Speaker 1: cognitive issues, like they found that all these people ate
Speaker 1: junk food, I was.
Speaker 2: Just like, well, they do a junk food study and
Speaker 2: they probably watch these people over decades, right, and then
Speaker 2: they see like the people that run into trees and
Speaker 2: walk backwards.
Speaker 3: When it's supposed to be going forwards. They're not drunk,
Speaker 3: they just ate lots of junk food when they were
Speaker 3: in their team.
Speaker 1: But and it's so funny because that would almost connect
Speaker 1: to maybe the blueberry things. So blueberries are natural food, healthy,
Speaker 1: have all these benefits.
Speaker 3: So if someone is eating a.
Speaker 1: Lot of junk food as a teenager, they're probably not
Speaker 1: eating blueberberries.
Speaker 3: So I need to.
Speaker 1: But it's just always it's always interesting when you see
Speaker 1: these connect when they make the when they have these
Speaker 1: studies and they make these connections between something you did
Speaker 1: as a child or you know, a young teenager or whatever,
Speaker 1: and how it is affecting you as an adult.
Speaker 2: Yes, well, I need to go to Whole Foods, and yes,
Speaker 2: buy some blueberries.
Speaker 3: That's what my kid's gonna be eating.
Speaker 2: You eat yogurt, right, eat? I can put in my
Speaker 2: open hold them her oatmeal, oatmeal, cinnamon, you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, put blueberries with your cinnamon. I put ginger dry
Speaker 3: ginger in there. Ew. Ginger is good for your stomach.
Speaker 3: I don't. And it's good benefits. Yes, I mean ginger's
Speaker 3: is strong. It's an acquired taste.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: You know what else?
Speaker 1: Okay, get get fresh blueberries, but also get frozen blueberries
Speaker 1: because if you put them in the microwave, microwave, they
Speaker 1: thaw out, but they also create like a blueberry kind
Speaker 1: of syrup. Okay, so it's like that is like a
Speaker 1: natural sweetener. So that's that's a good.
Speaker 3: You're smart, Robin. Blueberries are paying off. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I sent this to Ashley because she lives in Arlington, Okay, Virginia. Yeah,
Speaker 2: she lives in Arlington, Virginia. Arlington neighborhood named as the
Speaker 2: best place to live in America.
Speaker 3: Okay, can you believe that? Yes? Really, yes, why what's
Speaker 3: so great about Arlington?
Speaker 1: Arlington is very close to d C. Okay, but has
Speaker 1: a suburban neighborhoody feel true? You know, it's it's generally safe, Okay.
Speaker 1: I mean I think you know, if you look at
Speaker 1: a lot of those kind of poles or whatever or stories,
Speaker 1: or a lot of areas in our area hood, you know,
Speaker 1: DMB surrounding areas are rated really high, and that's why
Speaker 1: it's expensive to live.
Speaker 3: I remember when.
Speaker 1: But I think it's the proximity of d C. So
Speaker 1: it's like you can have like, you know, you can
Speaker 1: go into d C and do all the urban type
Speaker 1: stuff and you're really close. You can go home into
Speaker 1: your Arlington neighborhood and live a suburban life.
Speaker 3: Okay, I like that.
Speaker 2: And the schools are probably great and all that for
Speaker 2: the kids, okay, and the parks are clean and so.
Speaker 1: Ashley's response was like, yeah, that's why my house is
Speaker 1: so damn expensive.
Speaker 2: Right, Well, she didn't say that, She's like, yay, but
Speaker 2: I remember when she was moving out of living with Michael,
Speaker 2: even though they lived in Arlington with you know, the
Speaker 2: two of them did she was adamant about staying in
Speaker 2: Arlington and I was like, I don't get it, sis,
Speaker 2: but now I do.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I get it.
Speaker 1: I mean, but I bet you, but that is probably yes,
Speaker 1: two slots behind and Columbia's probably number ten.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying? Like, very true. All right,
Speaker 3: we got some we got some emails and stuff to read.
Speaker 3: You guys, keep before.
Speaker 1: We get to the email. Yeah, I have a question. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's like a dating flirting. Oh yes, of my favorite subject.
Speaker 3: Yes, because this I.
Speaker 1: Actually experienced firsthand. It was very it was very interesting
Speaker 1: to see.
Speaker 3: Okay, So why was flirting with you? No?
Speaker 1: Okay, So Wan and I were sitting at a bar
Speaker 1: eating dinner recently recently, and we were actually at Xenia.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yes, we were at the bar Xenia. And
Speaker 1: then so to our right it was three dudes, one
Speaker 1: older man.
Speaker 3: And then two younger two younger guys. So they were
Speaker 3: and the bartender is a female.
Speaker 1: Okay, So the dudes, the three dudes, all of them,
Speaker 1: and the female bartender are.
Speaker 3: Just chit chatting it up, talking about that whatever.
Speaker 1: They're talking about food and drinks and music and all
Speaker 1: this type of stuff.
Speaker 3: Right y'all, you're listening to their conversation we're I mean,
Speaker 3: are y'all adding to the conversation. Y'all are talking them?
Speaker 3: What is happening?
Speaker 1: We're just we're not No, we're not participating in their
Speaker 1: conversation yet.
Speaker 3: Right, yes, but but we can hear.
Speaker 2: It's like, I mean, they're right next to us, you know,
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just we go there a lot.
Speaker 1: So you know, that's just kind of what ends up happening.
Speaker 1: You sit at the bar and the end up having conversations.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I could add a shady moment in
Speaker 1: that moment too. Anyway, Yeah, I'll just talk about it later,
Speaker 1: I mean after the story. So so they're they're like
Speaker 1: chit chatting whatever.
Speaker 3: Talking.
Speaker 1: So at one point, one of the guys says to
Speaker 1: the bartender like, oh, yeah, what's your Instagram? Yeah, so
Speaker 1: she tells her his Instagram. Okay, so he's like, you know,
Speaker 1: it's follows her on Instagram, right, So they keep talking
Speaker 1: and blah blah blah blah, and then she said something about, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: well my boyfriend said blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 3: And so the dude was like, your boyfriend, your boyfriend?
Speaker 3: What He's like, you just gave me your Instagram what
Speaker 3: do you mean your boyfriend? You have a boyfriend. Okay,
Speaker 3: I need to know the race of these people, Okay,
Speaker 3: because I feel like this plays into all of this. Okay,
Speaker 3: this is hilarious. Okay. If I had told guess these
Speaker 3: were these guys were white, yes, okay, because I don't
Speaker 3: know a black man. The older man was black. I
Speaker 3: don't know a black man being like your boyfriend, why,
Speaker 3: oh my god. I'm like, a black ey would play.
Speaker 2: Cool, right, A black guy would have been like, oh
Speaker 2: damn you, I had a boyfriend, Like that's what black.
Speaker 3: He was like a boyfriend. He was mad, he was
Speaker 3: so it's Larry. So that leads to.
Speaker 2: Like my question, So then you know, I'm like, wait
Speaker 2: a minute, So because she gave you her Instagram, right,
Speaker 2: which is public by the way, I'm sure, yeah, it's public.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: I'm like, so, because she gave you her Instagram, that
Speaker 1: means that she was like interesting, single and.
Speaker 3: Open to dating. Yeah, and he was like yes really
Speaker 3: yes No.
Speaker 1: So apparently with and he was probub did you he's
Speaker 1: in his thirties like early tradies.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: Apparently this is the new way of people trying to
Speaker 1: like to know get with one another like, this is
Speaker 1: the new way that god. No, no, okay, this is
Speaker 1: the new way that guys instead of asking for their
Speaker 1: phone number.
Speaker 3: They asked for your Instagram.
Speaker 1: For your Instagram it's And the girl was like what,
Speaker 1: She's like, it's just my Instagram.
Speaker 3: I give you my phone number. I mean just asked
Speaker 3: my Instagram. I'm like what, I think this guy's on
Speaker 3: his own. He the only one to feel it was.
Speaker 1: It was like a debate, a conversation, and it was like,
Speaker 1: you know, so then we came to the So then
Speaker 1: I kind of determined, like, Okay, I guess these men
Speaker 1: expect you to say, like when they're like, hey, what's
Speaker 1: your Instagram? For you to say, hey, you know, just
Speaker 1: just want to let you know I have a boyfriend.
Speaker 1: But this is my Instagram handling what I don't know.
Speaker 1: But now it's like so questioned to you all listening, Yeah,
Speaker 1: is this the new way of gods trying to holler
Speaker 1: by getting your Atagram?
Speaker 3: And it's so crazy.
Speaker 1: So then a week later, I'm in line in Chipotle
Speaker 1: and I literally peeped the same thing happened. It was
Speaker 1: a pretty young girl in front of me and there
Speaker 1: was a guy. He was on his way out the
Speaker 1: door and he saw her and he turned around and
Speaker 1: he went up to her and I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't you know.
Speaker 1: They were having like he asked her something, right, and
Speaker 1: then he mentioned something about church or whatever. And I
Speaker 1: heard him say what's your Instagram?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 3: Yes? And what she said, I got a boyfriend?
Speaker 1: And she gave it to him, okay, and then he walked,
Speaker 1: you know, and then they closed the conversation and he
Speaker 1: walked away.
Speaker 3: Oh wow. Then I asked her, I.
Speaker 1: Said, I got to ask you something. I said, I
Speaker 1: just heard him ask you for your Instagram? Is that
Speaker 1: Does that mean that he's trying to holler?
Speaker 3: Like? What does that mean?
Speaker 1: Is that how you all now start dating? And she
Speaker 1: was like, honestly, I don't know.
Speaker 3: See, yeah, this is a new phenomenon, right yeah.
Speaker 2: We need we need for our listen I mean o yeah,
Speaker 2: our listeners to write us.
Speaker 3: Right now, right right. It was so crazy with the
Speaker 3: I was he was pissed. Maybe he was dressed a
Speaker 3: drinks that he had they were, I don't know, they
Speaker 3: were drinking. I think he was like drinking beer. I
Speaker 3: mean he wasn't like he.
Speaker 2: Was just because it was my thing Instagram is public
Speaker 2: or it can be public, right, right, but your phone
Speaker 2: number is private, right, So I'm not going to give
Speaker 2: you my phone number if I'm not interested exactly.
Speaker 3: But you can go on you can go stop me
Speaker 3: on Instagram you want, you.
Speaker 1: Can go look at my Instagram page. Yes, it was
Speaker 1: so funny, So this is a thing. I thought that
Speaker 1: that's crazy.
Speaker 3: We were just like we were just dying.
Speaker 2: Like I'm like, well, I didn't know, so you know,
Speaker 2: the twins just got Instagram recently and Angel posted a picture.
Speaker 3: This is new to me too.
Speaker 2: Angel posted a picture and a boy that's interested in
Speaker 2: her in her commented on her picture. But the comment
Speaker 2: was like very generic, but it was the mere fact
Speaker 2: that he commented, so she was so then the door
Speaker 2: was like, mom, he's interested in Angel. I was like,
Speaker 2: off of this dumb comment, no he's not. And so
Speaker 2: they were like yes because if he wasn't, he wouldn't
Speaker 2: have said anything.
Speaker 3: I'm like, Okay, guy's gotta try harder, right, because this
Speaker 3: is absurd.
Speaker 1: Right, And that's so crazy to me. It's like you're
Speaker 1: you're giving these guys a cop out. Really, you're really
Speaker 1: making it easy for them.
Speaker 2: But I mean, yeah, well you know what, I'm not
Speaker 2: mad at that because let's I'm talking about for the
Speaker 2: church girl the girl in Chipotle. They can start instant
Speaker 2: DM at each other and then you graduate to phone number.
Speaker 3: Yes I agree with that.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I like that, And that's kind of like
Speaker 1: a way to weed them out. Yeah, And it was funny,
Speaker 1: it was interesting. So she was open to it because
Speaker 1: she said they were aligned. So he came up and
Speaker 1: talked to her about church. Yeah, And so when I
Speaker 1: asked her, you know, is this his way of trying to.
Speaker 3: Get with you?
Speaker 1: And she was like, I don't know, because you know,
Speaker 1: for a long time, like maybe like a couple of
Speaker 1: years now, I was I can't remember the terminology she used.
Speaker 1: But she's also into church, and so she was like,
Speaker 1: you know, I wasn't into dating, Like I cut that
Speaker 1: part out of my life, and I just recently asked
Speaker 1: God to send me you know, I just recently told
Speaker 1: God that I'm open now to meeting people in dating
Speaker 1: and to send me whatever.
Speaker 3: And then here he comes, and I was like, all
Speaker 3: she had to do was go to Chipotle?
Speaker 1: Right, And so I almost like, what I should have
Speaker 1: gotten her numbers so that I could have found out
Speaker 1: if they connected.
Speaker 3: We can't be that.
Speaker 2: We can't be that invested, Robin, Okay, we got to walk.
Speaker 2: It was just it was so crazy. So that's a
Speaker 2: good scenario.
Speaker 3: Y'all tell us about that. So then, so now I
Speaker 3: have another question.
Speaker 1: Yes, a couple, yeah too. There's all like dating stuff.
Speaker 1: So I saw a post on Instagram. It felt like
Speaker 1: it was all right. I'm a very skeptical, skeptical Instagram
Speaker 1: watcher because I feel like everything is a skit.
Speaker 3: Everything.
Speaker 1: I feel like everything is planned, everything is opted out,
Speaker 1: Everything is a skit.
Speaker 3: So I feel like this was a skit.
Speaker 1: But the girl was holding her camera and she was
Speaker 1: a guy was picking her up for a date and
Speaker 1: he's in the driver's seat and he just reaches across
Speaker 1: the car and pushes the car door open, and she's
Speaker 1: standing out there holding her phone and she's, you know,
Speaker 1: filming him. And she's like, you're not going to open
Speaker 1: the door for me? And he's like, I mean, what,
Speaker 1: like get in, like doors open, the doors open, and
Speaker 1: she's like, you're not gonna get You're gonna you're not
Speaker 1: gonna open the door for me.
Speaker 3: I'm not getting in.
Speaker 1: He's like, I just drove thirty minutes here to take
Speaker 1: you on a date, and I'm about to take you
Speaker 1: to a restaurant and pay for you.
Speaker 3: She's like, but you're not going to get out and
Speaker 3: open the door for me.
Speaker 1: Like so it just they kept going like back and
Speaker 1: forth about him not opening this door okay, and then
Speaker 1: finally he like gets out the car, opens the door,
Speaker 1: and then closes the door. And it was like, you
Speaker 1: know what, I'm leaving. You're being too difficult.
Speaker 3: I'm leaving.
Speaker 1: I'm not taking them the date. I came all the
Speaker 1: way here and ah blah blah.
Speaker 3: Was she in the car? No, No, she didn't get
Speaker 3: in the car. So he like got out, opened the
Speaker 3: door and then like well yeah, and then he like
Speaker 3: changes mind. Yes, this was a skit, right yeah. But
Speaker 3: the question is, so, my question is.
Speaker 2: If someone picks you up, you're going on a date,
Speaker 2: it's your first date. They pick you up, and they
Speaker 2: don't get out to open the car door for you,
Speaker 2: what are you thinking?
Speaker 3: What do you do? Is that a deal breaker? Right away?
Speaker 3: Do you say something that would never be a first
Speaker 3: date for me?
Speaker 2: You're never picking me up ok from my house or
Speaker 2: picking me up from anywhere on a first.
Speaker 3: Date, right that So that's so let's just say this
Speaker 3: is a date four okay, and you pick me up, right, Yeah,
Speaker 3: you need to you need to open up my car door, right, okay? Sure?
Speaker 1: So if he does not, yeah, are you saying something
Speaker 1: in that moment? Are you making a mental note? Are
Speaker 1: you you know? Are you like going on the date
Speaker 1: and saying this is the last like this is the
Speaker 1: last time.
Speaker 2: I think I would make a mental note, okay, and
Speaker 2: then if it when it had, if it happens again,
Speaker 2: I'd be like playing, you got to open my car door,
Speaker 2: like that's the gentleman, Like I'm an old school girl
Speaker 2: and I like for the man to open my car door.
Speaker 3: Yes, I would have that conversation.
Speaker 1: I guess the telling part would be if Okay, so
Speaker 1: if he picks you up, you get in the car,
Speaker 1: you go on the date, and now you're both in
Speaker 1: the restaurant or wherever, and then you're both walking to
Speaker 1: the car.
Speaker 3: Does he open your car door? Then he better? Right?
Speaker 3: So that's right.
Speaker 1: So so I feel like I would wait and see
Speaker 1: what would happened then.
Speaker 3: Yes, before I like go yeah, and I would not
Speaker 3: go off. It'd be a conversation. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So It was funny because like I'm looking like I
Speaker 1: read through the comments and a lot of people were
Speaker 1: like on the guy's side, they were like, Oh, she's
Speaker 1: being too difficult, she's being too demanding, Like yeah, forget her, forget.
Speaker 2: Her, And that's why none of them have a date, right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's why they all on Instagram as supposed to on
Speaker 2: a date.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: I was like so shocked, but then I'm like okay,
Speaker 1: But then I'm like, but she's standing there recording.
Speaker 3: It was just the whole part.
Speaker 1: That she was recording in didn't feel genuine to me.
Speaker 1: But I thought I thought it was a good.
Speaker 3: Yeah scenario, like a good question.
Speaker 2: But some guys don't know that that's what they're supposed
Speaker 2: to do, right, So you know, it's a little like
Speaker 2: lets and some women, I think it's not important to them, right,
Speaker 2: So it's about learning who you're dating, right, right.
Speaker 3: But I think.
Speaker 1: Nowadays when people are getting our dating, they're like picking
Speaker 1: apart every little thing, you know what I'm saying, Like
Speaker 1: they're like looking for red flags.
Speaker 3: To begin with.
Speaker 1: I think I probably would have opened the door myself,
Speaker 1: gotten in the car, and then maybe later on been
Speaker 1: like you know what, I just want to let you know,
Speaker 1: like when you pick me up and you didn't open
Speaker 1: my car door, especially on the first date, that was
Speaker 1: kind of a turn off, And I would hope you
Speaker 1: don't do that anymore for anyone else or for me,
Speaker 1: you know, you know what I'm saying, Like I think
Speaker 1: I would just but I don't think I would have
Speaker 1: stood there and been like, you're not going to open
Speaker 1: my door?
Speaker 2: No, And he was right for not wanting to go
Speaker 2: out with her because it was the way she handled it, right, Yeah.
Speaker 2: You don't have to handle things like an asshole, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like she didn't have to come at him in
Speaker 1: that way. She could have even if she wanted him
Speaker 1: to open the door, she could have been like, you
Speaker 1: know what, gentlemen are supposed to open the door for
Speaker 1: the ladies. It would be nice if you open my door,
Speaker 1: right right, right right?
Speaker 3: Okay. I want to read this. I saw this.
Speaker 2: This is from Shamarion who we love Gladden Gladen, Gladden Gladden.
Speaker 3: Okay. So the subject is what would you ladies do?
Speaker 2: Okay, So your husband and you are divorcing because he
Speaker 2: cheated and had a side baby on you his side

Speaker 2: for that one hour a day, all these.
Speaker 3: Fights to break out because everybody's just pinned up as
Speaker 3: everybody's it's call, So all these fights to break out.
Speaker 3: So the sheriff was like, you know what, We're gonna
Speaker 3: do something different.
Speaker 2: And in other countries, because they don't have such stringent lockups,
Speaker 2: it helps whoever is locked up get back into society better, right, Okay,
Speaker 2: and they don't they don't have as many resimvaitism.
Speaker 3: So what's that word.
Speaker 2: Revisits when you when you when you're when you get

Speaker 1: don't know that it's not the word that I'm saying, Okay,
Speaker 1: but it's a word.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: Anyway, long story short, he was like, all right, in
Speaker 2: a week, we're gonna open up the doors. Okay, seven day,
Speaker 2: I mean six days. They did a countdown, and then
Speaker 2: finally the sheriff came in and said, guess what, guys, Tomorrow,
Speaker 2: I'll open up the doors and y'all are gonna be
Speaker 2: free to maintain your own community. And there's gonna be
Speaker 2: no guards.
Speaker 3: The guards are going to leave, okay all day twenty four.
Speaker 2: Twenty five, seven, three sixty five. One time somebody comes in,
Speaker 2: it's to give them food, okay, So they can't leave there.
Speaker 2: They have the outside and they have like the inside area. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so they're not like in their little set, their twenty
Speaker 2: four hours a day. So it was like our one,
Speaker 2: Oh my god, what's gonna happen?
Speaker 3: Hour two? Oh my god, oh my god. Our three?
Speaker 2: No fights. There have been no fights. Everybody's good in
Speaker 2: the hood. I'm only on day two, Okay, I don't
Speaker 2: know what happens how many days. Is that this is
Speaker 2: a project for six weeks.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, yees okay, and if they can maintain they
Speaker 3: will keep it this.
Speaker 2: So this is what's driving the guys. They're all accountable
Speaker 2: for each other, okay, So they're like, don't mess it up,
Speaker 2: you better not fight, better not mess it up.
Speaker 3: So they're all like really being accountable. Okay.
Speaker 1: So so what makes it so if there's no fighting
Speaker 1: or anything happening, then what makes it good?
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it ain't given second, somebody gonna go to
Speaker 2: hell off. Really, and right now, the young, the older
Speaker 2: the older dudes are trying to like be like the

Speaker 3: You better not say no more.
Speaker 2: Words to meet Claire partner. And it's like they're about
Speaker 2: to fight any given minute. Really, So you're just petrified.
Speaker 2: Are there any intimate moments? One guy in the middle
Speaker 2: of the night, and I think they forgot that there
Speaker 2: was cameras because one guy that you wouldn't suspect, not
Speaker 2: that I can't, right anyway, one guy goes to second
Speaker 2: night to his friend and so he goes He's like,
Speaker 2: all right, sweetie.
Speaker 3: I'll see you in the morning. Okay. So I'm just like, well, y'all.
Speaker 2: Have just slept together, right, since all the doors are open.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, see, I would think that since all the doors
Speaker 1: are open, they can do whatever. I would think we
Speaker 1: would be seeing some of that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, going on, so some phoning. Right.
Speaker 2: So I saw on the Sopranos, you know, I binged
Speaker 2: the Sopranos, which, by the way, Tony Soprano rest in peace,
Speaker 2: but like he was playing on him.
Speaker 3: He was like a man. Yes, you know. One day
Speaker 3: I was like, Jamal, this is so freaking funny.
Speaker 2: I was like, Jamal, did you ever see the Sopranos,
Speaker 2: because like back in the day, like I think we
Speaker 2: we didn't watch the Soprano I think I need to
Speaker 2: rewatch it because I was a lot younger and I
Speaker 2: didn't really know what I was watching, right, So that's
Speaker 2: probably a good one to rewatch.
Speaker 3: Okay. He was like, yeah, just I saw it with you.
Speaker 3: I said, Jamal, what are you talking about? Your lying?
Speaker 3: He said, you were laying the bed next to me.
Speaker 3: We watched the Sopranos.
Speaker 2: Every married, right, every week I waited for I don't remember,
Speaker 2: so you didn't make a memorable player. Anyway, what was
Speaker 2: I talking about? I can't remember what I was talking about.
Speaker 2: Tony Soprano. Oh, Tony Soprano said, Okay, if you're in
Speaker 2: jail and you do any mail on mail stuff, yeah,
Speaker 2: it doesn't count. Okay, because you can't get it any
Speaker 2: other way. Okay, so that's overlooked. You can use your hand,
Speaker 2: you can, but okay, overlooked, that's the rule.
Speaker 3: Okay. That does not mean because they had this on
Speaker 3: Tony Soprano. They had this big on the sopranos. They
Speaker 3: had this big because.
Speaker 2: Tony had somebody in his crew that was gay and
Speaker 2: they didn't know back in the day. I was like, wow,
Speaker 2: this is amazing.
Speaker 3: So they ostracized him. I was like, okay, that was
Speaker 3: just ridiculous. Yeah. Anyway, so Tony said, when you're in jail, okay,
Speaker 3: it doesn't count. It doesn't count. No, Okay.
Speaker 1: So so if we have any listeners in jail or
Speaker 1: out of jail, subscribe anyone who has been in jail
Speaker 1: or out of jail, whatever, send us an email and
Speaker 1: let us know and let us know, you know, if
Speaker 1: that's your thoughts on what tony'sprano said, it's true your
Speaker 1: thoughts or just like school us, let us, let us,
Speaker 1: because that that is a I think that's a reasonable
Speaker 1: thing to be curious about.
Speaker 3: I'm curious about that. Yeah, yeah, whether that is because
Speaker 3: I didn't know that because Tony said it like.
Speaker 2: It was a discussion, like all the men in the
Speaker 2: world had a discussion, and they all said it in jail.
Speaker 3: Right, you get a pass. That's what you said, You
Speaker 3: get a pass? Right?

Speaker 2: All right, so she said, and before you ask, yes,
Speaker 2: there are there is a black community in Copenhagen, mainly
Speaker 2: second and third generation immigrants from Africa.
Speaker 3: Okay, who knows that makes sense? We are just we're
Speaker 3: just very few, probably due to the weather. Must be cold. Okay, yes, I.
Speaker 2: Can confirm the health care is free since we do
Speaker 2: pay high taxes.
Speaker 3: But it works really well that way. I like that.
Speaker 2: It is no secret that oftentimes lack of access to
Speaker 2: heal health care affects the educational rates. That's a whole
Speaker 2: topic of its own. Yes, it is anyway, love and
Speaker 2: support from Copenhagen.
Speaker 3: Copenhagen. Oh, that's so nice. That's so nice.
Speaker 1: So that made me think about when I was in
Speaker 1: Toronto the healthcare. Canada has free health care, and my
Speaker 1: short period in Toronto I was pregnant then with Corey.
Speaker 1: Because I want to play for the Raptors. I didn't
Speaker 1: really like it. I guess it's just as an American,
Speaker 1: we're used to like our private our doctors with their
Speaker 1: private practices and stuff. But it just felt like very
Speaker 1: it was routine.
Speaker 3: You didn't get like any love.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it felt like I was a number, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. Yeah, And I was in a factory
Speaker 1: like when I would go to the doctor's office, and.
Speaker 3: It just I didn't like it.
Speaker 1: But you know, I mean, that's not to say that
Speaker 1: there's anything wrong with it.
Speaker 3: I'm sure the people in.
Speaker 1: Denmark and Canada who have their free public health care
Speaker 1: like it, yea, because that's what they know. But I
Speaker 1: just for me personally, I didn't like it. I really
Speaker 1: liked having like the more private practice experience.
Speaker 2: When I was in France, the girls and I were
Speaker 2: with my girlfriend Erica and her kids, and one of
Speaker 2: her daughters hit her head and it was bleeding. We
Speaker 2: had to go to the hospital. Erica took her to
Speaker 2: the hospital. The stitches and the whole process eighty six dollars,
Speaker 2: Oh wow, insane.
Speaker 3: Wow America, Yeah, would have been outrageous.
Speaker 2: Thousands, yes, yeah, So I think there's something too like
Speaker 2: this kind of you know, healthcare that doesn't like break
Speaker 2: the bank.
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, and how much?
Speaker 1: And you have to just wonder, like how much are
Speaker 1: they marking up everything the healthcare here?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: You remember my this is the last thing remember my
Speaker 2: HYS directed me with that was like eight eight hours.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had to pay for those eight hours. You did?
Speaker 2: So my healthcare is I mean the surgery. It was
Speaker 2: going to be where I have my healthcare set up,
Speaker 2: it was going to be a percentage that they paid
Speaker 2: for maybe like eighty.
Speaker 3: Twenty split, right something like that. Yeah. Yeah, I had
Speaker 3: to pay thousands.
Speaker 2: Thank god I had the money to pay for but
Speaker 2: it was thousands of dollars because my surgery was so long,
Speaker 2: and I can just imagine the number of people that
Speaker 2: like I went and they go into But more importantly
Speaker 2: I didn't. My surgery we thought was going to be
Speaker 2: three hours, right, it was eight hours.
Speaker 3: So you can't predict that.
Speaker 2: No, And yes, thank god, I'm grateful that I'm able
Speaker 2: to pay for it. But people that are in a
Speaker 2: situation in which they can't, it's affed up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that so in that sense, the public, it's like,
Speaker 1: so for me, I'm like, you know, I didn't like
Speaker 1: the public health care experience, but look at on the
Speaker 1: other side, it's like people have access to it where
Speaker 1: you know, only really the privileged have access to the private,
Speaker 1: you know, comfortable health care situations.
Speaker 3: It's messed up. It's messed up.
Speaker 1: And that's in you know, I talked about the NBA
Speaker 1: players who were scamming the NBA healthcare insurance program, but
Speaker 1: your surgery, like what you paid on thousands of dollars for, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the ones NBA healthcare plan would have paid for that.
Speaker 1: So when you have these NBA players who are scamming
Speaker 1: from their own healthcare insurance, it's like the worst. Why
Speaker 1: we're gonna get old, we're gonna need stuff like that? Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: the worst, But it's definitely a blessing like that's the
Speaker 1: NBA has great benefits and that's one of them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we love y'all in Denmark and everywhere.
Speaker 3: We love y'all. We totally appreciate y'all.
Speaker 2: Don't ever forget to live your life either reasonable or
Speaker 2: it's shady or both.
