Speaker 1: I want her to be like because I don't like him. Exactly.
Speaker 2: That's what I was like, Please say that, right, because
Speaker 2: that's in my mind what it really is exactly.
Speaker 1: But she harped on more so like the fact that
Speaker 1: people were assuming that something was wrong with their.
Speaker 2: Marriage, right, which, like, no, I didn't get that at all.
Speaker 2: I felt like, you didn't go because you didn't want

Speaker 1: it's just them being like, oh, I want to do
Speaker 1: something for myself or no, she harped on, like you know,
Speaker 1: when you say no, no, no means not not no
Speaker 1: means no. But like like people should be able to
Speaker 1: say no, people should be able to respect your no
Speaker 1: for whatever it is.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, but I wanted it to be because he
Speaker 2: because they say he smells like bad burgers.
Speaker 1: That's what I wanted her to say. I mean, but
Speaker 1: I would have a hard time in that position going
Speaker 1: to an inauguration of someone who has totally disrespected me
Speaker 1: and my husband right because he ridiculed. It's like the
Speaker 1: disrespect is not even based on like policies. It's it's
Speaker 1: like he's like ridical ridicules or like insults or like yes,
Speaker 1: you know, no, I don't. I don't want to be
Speaker 1: in that environment. I'm not participating in that nonsense, that foolishness.
Speaker 2: She should have the freedom to say that, you know, yeah,
Speaker 2: first of all, she'd have to say nothing.
Speaker 1: But I just want her to be like because I
Speaker 1: didn't want to right anyway, we got off track. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so shady moment for me, Okay, y'all. I really it's
Speaker 1: so crazy. My brain is soaked up, Like I had
Speaker 1: a shady moment, yeah, and you forgot it and I
Speaker 1: totally forgot it. I cannot think of it, and it's
Speaker 1: so and so. Now the guy, I don't remember your name,
Speaker 1: I can't remember if you emailed or if you messaged
Speaker 1: me on Instagram, but you were like, Robin, how dare
Speaker 1: you not have a shady moment, because like a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, I didn't have a shady moment? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was like, I mean, at least like fake one
Speaker 1: or pretend one. Yes, real shady moments people do them.
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, our life doesn't have to be
Speaker 1: shady every single week, Like something crazy doesn't have to happen.
Speaker 1: Mine does. For whatever reason, you get out of the
Speaker 1: house more than I do. I'm like, that's true. But
Speaker 1: I do want to say there are tons. I actually
Speaker 1: have tons of shady moments that I wish I could
Speaker 1: share with you guys. But as a business owner, and
Speaker 1: you know, the customer is always right, I want to
Speaker 1: say tons or like I just I just have to
Speaker 1: keep them to myself. Yeah, no, I get that because,
Speaker 1: let me tell you, just being a business owner, you
Speaker 1: meet all types of just people and encounter all types
Speaker 1: of scenarios and it's quite entertaining and just interesting. But
Speaker 1: I can't really can't divulge. But that's okay.
Speaker 2: So I saw this Instagram post and it said deleting
Speaker 2: your long paragraph and texting back okay, just okay is
Speaker 2: a different kind of self control.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, that's me all day long. Yes, but I don't.
Speaker 2: I'm so good at it at the self control. I
Speaker 2: don't because I used to get the law paragraphs and
Speaker 2: then I'd be like delete. I just to be like, okay, right,
Speaker 2: I don't have the long paragraphs no more. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: just like okay, And I don't know, right, I don't
Speaker 2: give a damn right, or I'm just I'm just self
Speaker 2: control to the one hundredth power.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean I yeah, I'm I think we've
Speaker 1: all done that. We've all I don't know, if it's
Speaker 1: a long paragraph, it just like you start trying to explain,
Speaker 1: and you know what, like I don't even want to
Speaker 1: do this back and forth. I don't even want to
Speaker 1: lead to any more. Like discussion or confusion or whatever
Speaker 1: like no, okay whatever, Yeah, it's just okay, yes, okay,
Speaker 1: So that has self control for sure, some people will you,
Speaker 1: I mean you you know of course people put on
Speaker 1: Instagram like their little oh look at this scenario who's
Speaker 1: right and who's wrong, and people just going back and
Speaker 1: forth and back and forth and back and forth, and.

Speaker 1: tried that, and he kept coming at me, and then
Speaker 1: that's when I'm like, wow, that's so, that's when it's funny.
Speaker 1: So that's like, so when you hit okay and then

Speaker 2: Yeah, that's like absolutely hilarious. Okay, so we got some
Speaker 2: stuff to read.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, so so we have some people who
Speaker 1: wrote in all right, A lot of people responded to
Speaker 1: this A couple episodes ago. I said, you know, I
Speaker 1: often have the question of like why do people have
Speaker 1: a baby on board sticker? Like what is the point? Yes? Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: A lot of people responded, So just gonna read one.
Speaker 1: This is from Logan HM. She says, Hi, Giselle and Robin,
Speaker 1: I'm new to writing into podcasts, but not new to listening.
Speaker 1: I binge watched The Real Housewis of Potomac and was
Speaker 1: so sad to finish it as well as see Robin go.
Speaker 1: So I had to find your pod. Okay, thank you
Speaker 1: Logan for joining us. Not sure if you'll get this,
Speaker 1: but I listened to your Bras and Toes pod today
Speaker 1: and was bus laughing hearing your comments about baby on
Speaker 1: board stickers. I'd like to say I've used those stickers
Speaker 1: a little bit out of excitement, like Giselle said, and
Speaker 1: wanting everyone to know, but also to inform first responders
Speaker 1: in case of an accident, and I placed the sticker
Speaker 1: on the side of the car where my child's car
Speaker 1: seat is placed. Although my husband ridicules the stickers because
Speaker 1: he is convinced hundreds of bad drivers put them on
Speaker 1: their cars so people don't get mad when they've up. Anyway, right, anyway,
Speaker 1: y'all are so entertaining. Thanks for your hard work, ladies,
Speaker 1: Sending lots of love. So a lot of people wrote
Speaker 1: in and said it's for verse responders that when people
Speaker 1: get in an accident, you know, sometimes the baby, the
Speaker 1: baby can be ejected, or you know, you just just
Speaker 1: for them to know that there's a baby on board
Speaker 1: that's smart. So I believe, yes, that is probably the
Speaker 1: purpose of them, But I still don't think that's the
Speaker 1: reason why most people put them on their car. I
Speaker 1: feel like most people don't get them for that purpose,
Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? Like, yeah, I know.
Speaker 2: I think they're excited, Yeah, because they have they have
Speaker 2: they just got a baby. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think
Speaker 2: it's right. They just went But and so they don't
Speaker 2: even know the purpose of the stick, right, matchmaking, we
Speaker 2: didn't talk about that.
Speaker 1: So all of our matches have been matched. So we
Speaker 1: so we went through all the submissions for matchmaking. We
Speaker 1: matched people who we thought were good matches and then
Speaker 1: and they've been notified, and they've been notified send emails
Speaker 1: to everyone. We also email people that we weren't able
Speaker 1: to match, yes, just telling them, you know, thank you,
Speaker 1: and hopefully, you know, maybe if we're doing in the future,
Speaker 1: we'll find someone for them. So yeah, okay, So if
Speaker 1: you submitted something to matchmaking, you haven't checked your emails,
Speaker 1: please check your emails because it's date right, because the
Speaker 1: love of your life might be waiting for you in
Speaker 1: your email. But it's funny because we've already had some
Speaker 1: people be like, yeah, no, I don't I'll pass y'all
Speaker 1: ain't right, right, Why did you even go through the process? Right? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we want to we want to marry somebody, right, but
Speaker 1: we have people like, yes, they're excited. So yeah, so
Speaker 1: we'll see how that like.
Speaker 2: Okay, so we'll keep y'all posted on that, all right.

Speaker 1: with this. It's officially the Republic of China. What Okay,
Speaker 1: it's part of China. Okay. So, so Taiwan listens to
Speaker 1: recently shady Yeah, hey, hey, I'm here for this right Okay,
Speaker 1: I love it. I love okay, and now we know
Speaker 1: where it is. I don't even know if it's which
Speaker 1: country runs Taiwan. Yes, the People's Republic of China. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: it's a property of China. Yes, and now and now
Speaker 1: we know where it is. Yeah, yeah, I love that.
Speaker 1: We'll have to go. Sorry Danny that we're so ignorant,
Speaker 1: but we appreciate you for listening from Taiwan.
Speaker 2: Side note on Love Hotel, there was a guy from
Speaker 2: Rhode Island and I didn't know where that was.
Speaker 1: So like, no clue. Well, I know it's up.
Speaker 2: There, yeah right, So I didn't. I don't know anything.
Speaker 2: I don't know the exact the layout. Yeah, like outside
Speaker 2: of Connecticut. So I know how to get all the
Speaker 2: way up to Connecticut. Uh huh, I'm done. Okay, So
Speaker 2: I don't know Maine is up there, Maine, Rhode Island,
Speaker 2: Vermont is in that order.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just know they're up there. I
Speaker 1: think may might be at the top. Maybe Maye is
Speaker 1: not at the top because we drove it's not. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Actually listening, I don't know anything above.
Speaker 2: I think Vermont is that mass Sorry guys, Yeah, tot
Speaker 2: know the order? Yeah, yeah, that's funny.
Speaker 1: But then how is Toronto? How is Ontario? Maybe it's
Speaker 1: just the way New York is shaped. You drive through
Speaker 1: New York to get to Ontario. To Canada, list Quebec
Speaker 1: and then there's Ontario. Quebec is on the west coast?
Speaker 1: Or father, can you read the next thing?
Speaker 2: Because we're making ourselves look real dumb, we are, okay,
Speaker 2: all right, Danny, He says.
Speaker 1: I'm a huge fan of the podcast, always listening while driving.
Speaker 1: My husband actually introduced me to the Real Housewives franchise,
Speaker 1: and rhop quickly became my absolute favorite. You two are
Speaker 1: also my number one housewives. Yay. Hey, I love the
Speaker 1: fund shade, the real life stories and the laughs you bring.
Speaker 1: Thank you for sharing your joy with us every week. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I have a little question about my husband that
Speaker 1: I love your opinion on. Okay, We've been married for
Speaker 1: almost six years now, and he's been living in Taiwan
Speaker 1: for over seven years. However, he's still not fluent in Mandarin.
Speaker 1: I totally understand Mandarin can be a tough language to learn,
Speaker 1: especially with all of the tones. I'll admit I always
Speaker 1: speak English to him, help him do the translation. And
Speaker 1: Taiwan is a pretty English friendly place, which makes things
Speaker 1: even is easier for him. What's the beef? So we will?
Speaker 1: And then he says, will Jaselle consider stopping by Taiwan
Speaker 1: when traveling to Japan? Is it close? I wonder if
Speaker 1: it's close? I think it is. It must be. Well, no, what,
Speaker 1: you're over there? You're over there?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 1: Right, okay, all right, yes, tell him I'm stopping by okay, yeah, yes.
Speaker 1: So he always says he's too afraid of messing up
Speaker 1: the tones to practice more. But honestly, sometimes feels like
Speaker 1: I sometimes feel like he's just a little too spoiled
Speaker 1: by me and the environment, and maybe that's why he
Speaker 1: hasn't pushed himself harder to learn. So what do you think?
Speaker 1: Is he being reasonable or is he being a little
Speaker 1: bit shady? Can't wait to hear your thought. I think
Speaker 1: what's well? Who wrote that? Danny? I think Danny's being shady.
Speaker 1: I think Danny's being unrealistic.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, Well, because it's one thing, if I'm in
Speaker 2: a country and they don't speak English, right, then I'm
Speaker 2: forced to learn the language.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: But if Danny is speaking English and everybody else around
Speaker 2: is speaking English, why am I learning man the hardest
Speaker 2: language to learn right outside of like Latin, right, Like, No, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's the part.
Speaker 1: It's like, I know, this is a really hard language
Speaker 1: to learn, and then you have the issue with the
Speaker 1: different tones and all that. So I think danny're being
Speaker 1: a little unrealistic to think, especially an adults, and it's
Speaker 1: harder for an adult to learn a new language than
Speaker 1: like a child. They say children can learn quick. New
Speaker 1: language is a lot quicker. So I think once you're
Speaker 1: an adult and you're like used to speaking English and
Speaker 1: you have English all around you, I think it's probably
Speaker 1: super hard for him to learn Mandarin. Now, if that's
Speaker 1: something that's important to you, Danny, then maybe it's a
Speaker 1: conversation and maybe you just do a little bit of
Speaker 1: like what's those like language programs Rosetta Stone, Yeah, like
Speaker 1: a little Rosetta Stone here and there, and maybe you
Speaker 1: do a little practicing. But I don't think you can
Speaker 1: expect him to just like, No, I don't think you
Speaker 1: should expect him to take the initiative to learn the language. No, well,
Speaker 1: if you're making it comfortable for him, like why do
Speaker 1: I need to learn? Right?
Speaker 2: And but and I don't think it even speaks to
Speaker 2: because I'm sure Danny's like, well, you don't care, you
Speaker 2: won't learn it, don't. I don't think it's that right,
Speaker 2: I think he the guy does care. Seven years is
Speaker 2: a long time. You haven't picked up nothing, I know.
Speaker 1: And that's the thing. So I'm like, maybe make this
Speaker 1: like a fun thing, yeah, games, like make it a
Speaker 1: sex game.
Speaker 2: Yes, there, you tell me all the body parts you
Speaker 2: want me to suck?
Speaker 1: Right? Yeah? Yes? Yeah, So no, I don't think he's
Speaker 1: being shady, not being shady. Danny might be a little unrealistic.
Speaker 1: But I also think y'all can find a happy medium
Speaker 1: where yeah, he tries to learn a little bit here
Speaker 1: and there, but don't expect him to like be fluent. No.
Speaker 1: And I can just imagine writing it, right, yeah, is
Speaker 1: it the symbols? I believe?
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, yeah, that's impressive right yeah. Okay, And
Speaker 2: from what I understand, Mandarin is a language that if
Speaker 2: you're really not using it all the time, you're going
Speaker 2: to lose it. There's a guy that I know, actually
Speaker 2: it's a friend's son who speaks Mandarin, and but he
Speaker 2: constantly has to take Mandarin class, okay to make sure
Speaker 2: he stays up on it. Yeah, yeah, because he's not
Speaker 2: He works in New York. He's not speaking Mandarin.
Speaker 1: Like where are you speaking him? Yes, he's going to
Speaker 1: like Chinatown or something. Do they speak it there? I
Speaker 1: would think so, Like, I mean if he's intentional, so
Speaker 1: say you go to a Chinese restaurant work there, yeah,
Speaker 1: or speaking Mandarin and he's that's his the opportunity to
Speaker 1: just speak it, knock it out. Speaking of restaurants in
Speaker 1: New York, have you been a Carbone? No? Geez sah?
Speaker 2: So I was in New York. Yeah with Portia. We
Speaker 2: did watch What Happens Live, and I think.
Speaker 1: I had been a carbone. I had not been in years.
Speaker 2: I can't to the point where it's like I really
Speaker 2: couldn't remember the experience. So we of course went out afterwards.
Speaker 2: And it's so funny because we and port were talking
Speaker 2: to Angie. They probably didn't show this, and he was like,
Speaker 2: are y'all going out afterwards? Because me and Porscha Boss
Speaker 2: had on our little booty dresses and everything, and we
Speaker 2: were like, yeah, we're going out, and so he was
Speaker 2: so we told him where and he was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: the two of y'all gonna walk into Carbone and we
Speaker 2: were like yeah, Angie, and.
Speaker 1: Then I said, Annie, you want to come, and he
Speaker 1: was like okay.
Speaker 2: And then I was like, oh, no, never mind, because
Speaker 2: then you're going to attract gay attention.
Speaker 1: We want straight men coming to the table. We do
Speaker 1: not write any men that don't want us.
Speaker 2: So he was like I get invited and rejected in
Speaker 2: the same sentence.
Speaker 1: I was like, yes, anyway, we had a beautiful time.
Speaker 1: But like the food there is sick but you kid,
Speaker 1: I don't feel like I don't remember, so the Rigatoni
Speaker 1: is on another level.
Speaker 2: The meatballs, which I don't really eat meatballs, but I'm
Speaker 2: like craving them a lot more. I got lobster froy diabolo,
Speaker 2: which was fantastic. Course you got some some sort of steaks.
Speaker 2: Situation great. My food, I mean my fork was all
Speaker 2: on her plate. Erica came with us, she got some
Speaker 2: chicken something. Everything was fanlt like I want to go back.
Speaker 2: So Carbone and everybody that raps about Carbone that drake yes, yes, yes, lived.
Speaker 1: Up to it.
Speaker 2: And then there was like rappers ish coming in there
Speaker 2: were there was a woman that.
Speaker 1: Was like an actress.
Speaker 2: I don't can't remember, I don't know who she is,
Speaker 2: but I know she's an actress.
Speaker 1: She was like waving to me. Okay, I felt it
Speaker 1: very important, okay, spot all right, yeah, carbon So hey, guys,
Speaker 1: when y'all know that Shelle's in New York, hang out
Speaker 1: at Carbone. Okay, Well, but it's hard to get a reservation. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so yeah, I think we had to pull some tricks.
Speaker 2: Okay, by the way, like a lot of those restaurants
Speaker 2: that have that reputation. Yeah, the food isn't good, right,
Speaker 2: it's all right, Carbonus good yes, okay. So Billy Barry says,
Speaker 2: good morning, ladies. So, for whatever reason, I just realized
Speaker 2: I never finished episode one.
Speaker 1: Sixty eight, Robin, what episode is this?
Speaker 2: We have no idea what a number of episodes match
Speaker 2: up to whatever?
Speaker 1: Okay, he says.
Speaker 2: I was driving to work this morning while you were
Speaker 2: talking about B, and it reminded me, what's what's B?
Speaker 1: Beyonce?
Speaker 2: Oh okay, and it reminded me when she came through
Speaker 2: for the Renaissance Okay, yeah, we were talking about Beyonce
Speaker 2: and he reminded me when she came through for the
Speaker 2: Renaissance World tour.
Speaker 1: My husband and I had to go. She asked us
Speaker 1: to wear silver, so I showed up in my silver
Speaker 1: sequence tank top, blank jeans. Just to interrupt. I believe
Speaker 1: this is one eighty no way, okay, one okay? So
Speaker 1: so twelve episodes ago, we have no idea what we
Speaker 1: were talking about. No club, yes, but let's let's go.
Speaker 1: Let's keep it going, okay.
Speaker 2: So she asked us to wear silver, so I showed
Speaker 2: up with my silver sequince tank top, black jeans, high heeled,
Speaker 2: black combat boots, and black for door.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, we need a picture. Why don't you put
Speaker 1: a picture? You better work that.
Speaker 2: Yes, I went all out with a smoky eye, silver
Speaker 2: glitter lashes, and liner.
Speaker 3: Girl.
Speaker 1: I thought I was it. Billy, I'm gonna tell you
Speaker 1: you were it. Okay, So, yes, you were it. And
Speaker 1: by the way, her tour started by now oh okay,
Speaker 1: her tour started on April twenty eighth. Okay, so so beyond.
Speaker 1: But Beyonce hasn't told us what to wear yet? Right exactly?
Speaker 1: So when is she gonna let us know? Because I
Speaker 1: got to yeah.
Speaker 2: Amazon together, right, because they can be come from Amazon,
Speaker 2: because I'll wear it that one day.
Speaker 1: Okay, mind you.
Speaker 2: I was a forty three year old gay, white man
Speaker 2: at the time and my husband we at the time.
Speaker 2: At the time, my husband and now he's not at
Speaker 2: the time, he's still gay and white. Who's black? He said,
Speaker 2: he's with his husband who's black. FYI took one look
Speaker 2: at me and said, you sure want to wear you?
Speaker 2: Are you sure you want to wear those shoes? And
Speaker 2: I was like, baby, I got this, mind you. The shoes, remember,
Speaker 2: were high heel, black collar. I don't even know they
Speaker 2: make that, right, high heel black collar.
Speaker 1: Hell, listen, Billy, you were doing it. Okay, Well we
Speaker 1: get there in the venue. It's miles from the parking lot.
Speaker 2: I barely made it. By the end of the night.
Speaker 2: My lashes were hanging on for deal life. My makeup
Speaker 2: had melted, and I looked.
Speaker 1: Like a total hot mess. I believe it. But it
Speaker 1: was worth every second.
Speaker 2: That's it, right, yes, Billy, Because I can envision this
Speaker 2: was so descriptive.
Speaker 1: I can envision all of that yes, it's traumatic for him.
Speaker 1: That was like he knew he was doing the damn thing.
Speaker 1: And then by the end of the night he was like,
Speaker 1: he was like, get me out of here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we have to pace ourselves with the cowboy
Speaker 2: Carter tol Yes, like like we learned our lessons with
Speaker 2: the Renaissance. So no heels, no heels, you can rock
Speaker 2: your lash. It's just make sure you have extra glue
Speaker 2: and if you gonna beat your face, make sure you
Speaker 2: spray it down with like to fix it.
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, and then you're good and then you're good
Speaker 1: to go. But I think we're all wearing hats, right,
Speaker 1: cowboy hats. I hope. Well, first of all, I'm not going.
Speaker 2: It's so funny because Ashley just said to me the
Speaker 2: other she was like, I'm not going, and I was
Speaker 2: like why.
Speaker 1: She said, because I've got to be I say, too
Speaker 1: much of my money, the same.
Speaker 3: Thing you said.
Speaker 1: It's not even but for you know, it's not even
Speaker 1: about well, first of all, her tickets are too high.
Speaker 1: It's not even about the money. It's just like, I
Speaker 1: don't I've seen it. How many times seen it? You
Speaker 1: have seen this? I see it. I won't it so
Speaker 1: I made change my mind. Once I see all of
Speaker 1: the stuff on Instagram, once I see the videos, the pictures,
Speaker 1: I may change my mind. Shockingly, my hairstyle is Shirley,
Speaker 1: who is like the number one Beyonce fan.
Speaker 2: She's like, oh, it doesn't want to go no way,
Speaker 2: Tina said. Tina's looked at the rehearsal. She said, it's fantasy.
Speaker 1: Of course Tina's going to say that. Why because that's
Speaker 1: her daughter, her daughter, of course, you know blue showing up.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's her granddaughter of course. Yes, of course.
Speaker 1: You think she's gonna give jay Z a spot just
Speaker 1: to do something. Jay Z don't want that. YEA don't
Speaker 1: want to do that. Yeah, he ain't got to tip
Speaker 1: of that. I oh no, I mean, hey, you can
Speaker 1: always pop out. That'd be fun. That'd be a cute
Speaker 1: little pop out. Oh wait a minute. Did we talk
Speaker 1: about the carry Hilson. Yeah, we talked about carry about
Speaker 1: her like apologizing or something.
Speaker 2: Well, she gave the full story of what happened with
Speaker 2: see I don't even okay, so supposed to carry Hilson
Speaker 2: did a disc song to Beyonce right years ago, twenty
Speaker 2: years ago, thirty years ago, and it single handedly destroyed
Speaker 2: her career, right, And.
Speaker 1: I didn't know. I didn't know there was a this song,
Speaker 1: but I knew that there was some sort of dis
Speaker 1: lyric between her and being this is the thing. What's
Speaker 1: the song?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: Like, I don't I've never have we heard this song?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. Is it subliminal?
Speaker 2: Because the song that is huge, I think for Carrie
Speaker 2: Hilson is.
Speaker 1: My name is Carrie and I'm so fairy. The other
Speaker 1: one is turning you on? Something about turning you on?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I heard the first one recently and I was like listening, like,
Speaker 2: this has got to be it. She's got to just
Speaker 2: Beyonce somewhere and here and there was nothing, so all right,
Speaker 2: well let's look it up.
Speaker 1: Okay. So but I don't know as you looked that up,
Speaker 1: she I think she was doing an interview with was
Speaker 1: he Charlemagne?
Speaker 2: It was Charlemage or Cam By the way, Cam's about
Speaker 2: to make a whole lot of money, won Cam Newton
Speaker 2: on what because the Shay Club is about to be
Speaker 2: shut down?
Speaker 1: So okay, So it was her turning me on? Remix Okay,
Speaker 1: released in two thousand and nine, included lyrics that were
Speaker 1: widely interpreted as a disc towards Beyonce, particularly referencing referencing
Speaker 1: her song Irreplaceable. H Hilson has since dated she was
Speaker 1: forced to sing those lyrics and that they were not
Speaker 1: her own words. Yes, so she goes. So, she describes
Speaker 1: that day like she she was very young.
Speaker 2: She this beginning of her career. She got to the
Speaker 2: studio and they and she, oh.
Speaker 1: She wrote the lyrics. Okay, here's the lyric writing. Okay, go.
Speaker 1: The remix featured lyrics like your vision cloudy, if you
Speaker 1: think you're you're the best, you can dance, she could sing,
Speaker 1: but need to move it to the left now Irreplaceable
Speaker 1: is to the left, to the left. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2: So Carrie goes on to say like, I've never felt
Speaker 2: like I could say this. But when she got there,
Speaker 2: they had written the lyrics for her and this the
Speaker 2: girl that wrote the lyrics was like, yeah, I did it,
Speaker 2: and Polo, who's the who was the producer, was like,
Speaker 2: this is what you're gonna do and she was like no.
Speaker 1: She just started crying.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 2: She was like she didn't want to do it, but
Speaker 2: they were forcing her, not forcing her, but they were
Speaker 2: like pushing it on her, pushing it on her, and
Speaker 2: she was too young and too new to say no, right,
Speaker 2: and I and she she was kind of crying talking
Speaker 2: about it to this day, and I felt like.
Speaker 1: And didn't she used to write songs for Beyonce. She
Speaker 1: was a writer, and I think some she has written
Speaker 1: songs for Beyonce or for Destiny Show or whomever. But
Speaker 1: why would that destroy her career?
Speaker 2: Because like every because it was this whole her against
Speaker 2: Beyonce thing, and I think mentally and emotionally it took
Speaker 2: her out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, gosh, imagine if that was today,
Speaker 2: in the day of social media, Like, yeah, oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: I kind of I felt when when she was telling
Speaker 2: the story, I was like, you know what, it'd be
Speaker 2: great if they work together like today.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, So hopefully that'll happen. Oh that's unfortunate
Speaker 1: because Cherry Hilson is actually like a very smart girl,
Speaker 1: like yeah, and when you hear her talk, she it's
Speaker 1: not just about just her being a singer or whatever, Like,
Speaker 1: she has a lot to offer. So that's that's unfortunate. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she did talk about dating athletes. Did you see that?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: What did she say, because she dated Serge Ibaka at
Speaker 1: one point. He's a basketball player who was fine, yes,
Speaker 1: very fine. That thing looks good yes.
Speaker 2: Yes, big chocolate yes, and he has an accent and everything.
Speaker 1: Geezy accents make everyone sound smart.
Speaker 2: No, they make him sound sexy, right, yes, not necessarily
Speaker 2: smart all accents.
Speaker 1: I mean men men with accents. Yeah. Yeah, it sounds
Speaker 1: like please take your clothes off, right, Yeah, but it
Speaker 1: makes it sound smart too, and sophisticated. And they can
Speaker 1: be saying like, definitely sophisticated, the most like ratchet thing,
Speaker 1: but they sounds sophisticated. Yeah. She did say that. They
Speaker 1: say about dating athletes that they are I might be
Speaker 1: able to relate. Yeah, I'm thinking you can't.
Speaker 3: That they are.
Speaker 2: They're not emotionally mature to love because or to know
Speaker 2: how to love. Because when you know those those growing
Speaker 2: up years, everything is given to them, everything is provided
Speaker 2: for them.
Speaker 1: They don't have to give.
Speaker 2: They're just receiving and receiving and receiving. So in order
Speaker 2: for them later in life to switch and learn the
Speaker 2: skill set to love, it's extremely difficult and it really
Speaker 2: doesn't happen.
Speaker 1: And it's and it's hard. Like once the sport is over.
Speaker 1: It's then they're dealing with like the mental just challenge
Speaker 1: of of like okay, I'm no longer playing, like who
Speaker 1: the hell am I really? So it's so funny. The
Speaker 1: other day I was helping Corey. So Corey has back pain,
Speaker 1: so he's been doing like e T and all types
Speaker 1: of stuff. And I'm so we were at night, we
Speaker 1: were here at night, and I'm wrapping him in ice,
Speaker 1: putting ice on his back and wrapping it around, and
Speaker 1: I'm thinking to myself and I'm like, this said it
Speaker 1: all out, like this is I'm like, you're being catered to.
Speaker 1: I'm catering to you. And this is how I'm since
Speaker 1: the beginning of it. This is how it starts. Totally,
Speaker 1: but it is. It's crazy. And it's not even like
Speaker 1: it's like it's not for a bad reason. It's like, Okay,
Speaker 1: he's injured. We got to nurse him back to house
Speaker 1: because in a couple of days he's traveling and going
Speaker 1: to play basketball and blah blah blah. Right, and so
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, you gotta you gotta ice, we gotta
Speaker 1: put your heat on after you. You gotta make sure
Speaker 1: you're eating. You need your protein you need to like.
Speaker 2: It's like and it's just like and it's constant and
Speaker 2: he's aware of it, right and so and he's.
Speaker 1: And he's leaning into it instead of.
Speaker 2: Like and I'm no shade to Corey, but that's just
Speaker 2: the nature of the beast because he has to right
Speaker 2: and everything is focused towards him being the best player
Speaker 2: he can be right, which is fine, But then what
Speaker 2: does that mean years later for as a relation to
Speaker 2: a relationship.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And it's definitely a thing. It's definitely a thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I think as parents, it's it's our kind of
Speaker 1: duty to try to like prevent that from happening as
Speaker 1: much as possible, you know. So when they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm hungry, I want a sandwich, I'm like, okay, go
Speaker 1: make yourself a sandwich. Yeah, get it yourself. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2: When she broke it down, because I that had never
Speaker 2: crossed my mind because I've dealt with plenty of athletes
Speaker 2: to you, But once she broke it down, I was like,
Speaker 2: that's the missing piece that I didn't know when I
Speaker 2: was in that relationship, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was like, oh that's it. Yeah, yeah, Oh,
Speaker 1: they're not really case it's a huge thing. It could.
Speaker 1: Like I said, it starts when they're young, it's and
Speaker 1: it just keeps going, and it keeps getting bigger and bigger,
Speaker 1: especially if they play on a professional level, because you've
Speaker 1: got you know, every person in the world works for
Speaker 1: that organization to make sure you have what you need.
Speaker 1: And then you hire a management company or you know,
Speaker 1: your agent, and they have people who are making sure
Speaker 1: you have what you need. You have, they're paying your bills,
Speaker 1: they're you know, they're making sure you're eating all of it.
Speaker 1: It's I didn't know Carrie Hilson was dating that guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they dated for a little bit. They were like it was,
Speaker 1: it was known. It was okay, they were together together.
Speaker 1: They were together. I just want to date them for
Speaker 1: the night, I know. Yeah, Yeah, moving.
Speaker 2: On, Okay, we got we have one more. This is
Speaker 2: from Mancha Mansa mesa Masa's spelled different. It's spelled differently
Speaker 2: Mesa mesa, masa masa.
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm gonna say masa. Hijazell and Robin.

Speaker 2: boring car rides or washing dishes because I know I'll
Speaker 2: be listening to y'all, and you make every mundane moment
Speaker 2: so fun and entertaining.
Speaker 1: So thank you.
Speaker 2: I want to ask you both if you could share
Speaker 2: a bit about your experience during the early years of
Speaker 2: motherhood kids zero to five. I'm currently postpartum with a
Speaker 2: nine month old and have five and have a five
Speaker 2: year old son, and life can be challenging and draining.
Speaker 2: I have heard it takes a village to raise a child.
Speaker 2: I've not always experienced this, unfortunately in your experience, how
Speaker 2: was it for y'all? Giselle, how did you handle three toddlers?
Speaker 2: Did you have a nanny?
Speaker 1: Did you have help? On a Robin you shared Wan
Speaker 1: was not always present those days? How did she do it?
Speaker 1: How'd you do it? Robin?

Speaker 2: you both. You need to spin off just for the
Speaker 2: two of you on Bravo. Okay, let's we're gonna work
Speaker 2: on that MESA. Food's from Toronto, Toronto, and we won't
Speaker 2: to apologize right now for not knowing.
Speaker 1: Exactly where Toronto is. I know where it is? Where
Speaker 1: is it? I know I'm not been there a million times?
Speaker 1: Where is I mean it's like the most it's like
Speaker 1: southeast Toronto. It's like an hour from New York. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's in Ontario, which is where like southeastern portion of Canada,
Speaker 1: which is locate did to where southeast Canada? What do
Speaker 1: you mean?
Speaker 2: It's Canada above the United States or society United States?
Speaker 1: Are you serious?
Speaker 3: Right now?
Speaker 1: Wait a minute? Okay, so wait, Canada's north I know
Speaker 1: that of the United States. I knew that. Yes, so,
Speaker 1: but it's closer to east coast Toronto. Yes, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: why I say it's southeast. Okay, so like Toronto is
Speaker 1: actually close to the United States because it's the southern
Speaker 1: portion of Canada. I was just seen. If you knew
Speaker 1: and the exactly the eastern portion of Canada, you can
Speaker 1: actually we actually because we were in Toronto. One played
Speaker 1: for the Raptors and was traded to Detroit Pistons and
Speaker 1: we drove like it was I can't remember how long
Speaker 1: the drive was. It wasn't that long. We drove from
Speaker 1: Toronto to Detroit and it wasn't like super long. Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: just packed up the car and said we're out of here.
Speaker 1: Well not kind of, not really okay, but okay, raising kids.
Speaker 1: Oh you're raising kids, that's the question. Yes, it's hard
Speaker 1: as shit, yes, yes, so masa mesa. If you are struggling,
Speaker 1: this is normal. Yeah, okay, we all are all did yes,
Speaker 1: but it's temporary. You're going to get through it. I
Speaker 1: had a nanny come when they were like up until
Speaker 1: they were about eight fifteen months or so. I had
Speaker 1: a nanny come like three days a week. Eventually, when
Speaker 1: they got to be about like fifteen months, I put
Speaker 1: them in a school like a daycare. Yeah, and that
Speaker 1: was the best thing ever because it gave you time. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's just when the nanny and the people are in
Speaker 1: your house and the kids in your house, they still
Speaker 1: want you, like the kids. If you're in the house,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter who's there to help, the kids still
Speaker 1: want you. Yeah. So I think once you kids get
Speaker 1: of an age where you're comfortable sending them to like
Speaker 1: a school or a daycare, like do it, get to
Speaker 1: it out of the house.
Speaker 2: And plus they need a little interaction social ye. Social
Speaker 2: they socially they need interaction, yeah for sure.
Speaker 1: And then the phrase like it takes a village. It's
Speaker 1: not just about you know, Okay, I have like my my,
Speaker 1: my mother, or you know, ones like brother We had,
Speaker 1: like you know, a bunch of like brothers and uncles
Speaker 1: and cousins and stuff that would help my my son's stuff.
Speaker 1: But it's also like putting them in activities, like that's
Speaker 1: part of the village too. So if you don't have
Speaker 1: family that's there that can help you, like put them
Speaker 1: in activities where whether I don't know, if you have
Speaker 1: a girl or boy, whether it's dance, or it's baseball
Speaker 1: or soccer like those some of those people become your village,
Speaker 1: are a part of the village that it takes to
Speaker 1: raise a child totally.
Speaker 2: And even with the schools I remember, you know, my
Speaker 2: kids went to a very small elementary school and those
Speaker 2: moms there, they were part of my village. They ain't
Speaker 2: know it, but it's part of my They was like
Speaker 2: all was looking out for my kids once once we
Speaker 2: started filming the show, they would always someone would just
Speaker 2: take my kids home, pick them up. Like I knew
Speaker 2: I was running late. They would check in with me
Speaker 2: like they there was there's like three women, three moms.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to shout them out, but they completely
Speaker 2: saved my life with regards to my kids they were,
Speaker 2: I would like call them in a clutch and they
Speaker 2: would be there for me. But when mine were babies,
Speaker 2: because I had three, I had a full time nanny.
Speaker 2: She would come at six am and she would leave
Speaker 2: at six pm.
Speaker 1: And that's a long day. That's a long day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she was getting paid well, so, but I needed
Speaker 2: an extra set of hands. There was three of them,
Speaker 2: three and then, like Robins said, once Grace was able
Speaker 2: to like go to like a little daycare or whatever
Speaker 2: I sent her, she ain't like it, but she's all right, right,
Speaker 2: she made it.
Speaker 1: She made it through.
Speaker 2: And then once all three of them could go, Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's that was like the ticket because I needed a break. Yes,
Speaker 2: like a break is you got to you gotta take
Speaker 2: a break to rejuvenate yourself, right, Because once my kids
Speaker 2: would see me, it was like NonStop every minute, like
Speaker 2: there was no minute that I had free hold on
Speaker 2: until they went to bed. No, yes, so but I
Speaker 2: enjoyed it though, I mean it was it was exhausting
Speaker 2: to no end.
Speaker 1: But like you know, once it's over, it's over. Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: it's over. And so for you, I know you're struggling
Speaker 1: or anyone out out here, that's like really in the woods,
Speaker 1: in the thick of it, it's gonna it feels like
Speaker 1: it's not going to go fast, but it's going to
Speaker 1: go by so fast. And you're gonna look back at
Speaker 1: those times and be like, Whooo, how did I do it?
Speaker 1: Don't know, but I did it. But you did it.
Speaker 1: You're gonna do it, so don't. But don't be afraid
Speaker 1: to lean on people, even whether it's your neighbors or
Speaker 1: like I said, activities, put them in activities, put them
Speaker 1: in school. Yeah. Just and don't be afraid to be
Speaker 1: like this shit is hard, like oh, yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: it's fine. It's totally hard.
Speaker 2: And it would annoy when like moms with like five
Speaker 2: kids that act like they were doing that shit with
Speaker 2: their ass closed. Right.
Speaker 1: No, no, you're just trying to make everybody else look bad.
Speaker 1: Like no. So yeah, and do it your way. I
Speaker 1: always say, like, you know, do what's comfortable for you.
Speaker 1: Do it your way.
Speaker 2: Nobody can tell you that your way is not the
Speaker 2: right way, but I might judge you.
