I feel like when people go 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:26.440 out and party, um, New Year's is those are for amateurs. 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:28.600 Those are for people that don't know how to party, 0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:32.160 have never party before. They at crazy, they drive crazy. 0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:34.880 I just I just I don't really like it. I 0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:37.319 think you just haven't gone to the right New Year's party. 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:39.960 Oh I've been.

Yes, I have my parents. 0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:46.920 So I remember every year my parents would go to 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:49.440 a party every year and they would look forward to it. 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:51.000 It was, you know, it's always in like a hotel 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:54.360 ballroom and with one of the organizations that they belonged to, 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:57.720 so it was just like a very nice crowd. They 0:01:57.760 --> 0:01:59.600 would you know, all buy a table and invite all 0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:02.120 their friends ends, and you know, they would have a 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:04.280 good old time. They probably would get a you know, 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:07.320 hotel room stay out and they dress all up. And 0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:09.960 I'm like, oh, you haven't done that, So maybe that's 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:12.720 what I haven't been.

And you know what, we 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:10.480 would like to share with you all some of since 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:12.400 we're you know, talking about one and it was just 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:15.200 such such a great year. We've had like some very 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:20.840 memorable episodes. Yes, indeed, I feel like everyone is memorable. 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:23.440 It is, it is, And to be quite honest, I 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:26.840 love when Robin Dixon is either tired or hungry because 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:30.880 she's so freaking shady, Like I don't even have to 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:32.840 be shady, Like I'm typically shady when I wake up 0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:34.600 in the morning, but when rob is hungry, I know, 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:37.640 it's so funny when people message me, they're like, Okay, Robin, 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:42.040 you were really shady in this episode. I think I'm 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:46.240 gonna starve you so that you could just be shady 0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:50.480 all day, Robin, shade, I think that's what's happening. You 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:55.720 don't want that. No, shade turns into anger, true, true, true, true. 0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:57.280 We don't want to get there. We we don't want 0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:59.120 to get there, but I do want to know. Note 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:05.720 make note of I do like it sprinkled in Yes, yes, 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:09.120 indoses um oka. Friends. We couldn't be friends if I 0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:13.720 wasn't shady too. No, no, no, And sometimes I'm reasonable. 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:17.600 You know what's you know what's so crazy? We Robin 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:20.919 has not responded. Okay, So when you are shady, I 0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:24.440 think I get reasonable. No, that's not do I get 0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:30.960 more shady when you're shady. I just add onto the shade. Okay, 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:34.760 So listen. Our first episode was called started from the bottom. 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:38.120 Now we're here, so I want you all to know 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:41.960 that that was kind of like a prophecy, right because 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:49.440 we did actually start from the bottom. Welcome to Reasonably Shady. 0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:51.840 This is just L Briant here and I am here 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:56.400 with hello everyone. My name is Robin Dixon. Yes, this 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:59.600 is our Reasonably Shady podcast. This is our first podcast. Guys. 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:01.200 We don't know the hell we're doing, but just bear 0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:03.720 with us because we're going to figure it out and 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:05.640 by the time we're like on episode, I don't know, 0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:08.560 twenty eight will be great. So we do kind of 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:12.880 want to tell people how we met, right, well, I 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:15.960 think we should start off with, um, just why are we? 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:20.360 Why is this podcast called Reasonably Shady? That's very important. Um. 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:23.440 So to know us is to know that Robin is 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:28.240 extremely reasonable, She's like practical, She's always like Switzerland. She 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:30.839 always tried to see the good in people. And I'm 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:36.240 just shady. Okay, yes, so Gesell's first um reaction to 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:40.400 something is a shady one, and then I think about it, 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:43.359 I processed it, and then I try to be like Robin, 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:45.920 which is very reasonable, but it doesn't really work. I 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:48.200 just stay on the shady side. Yes, you sure do, Yes, 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:50.640 I mean, but sometimes you don't take that much convincing. 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:54.039 I have to, like, you know, we'll have a private conversation. 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:57.520 I'll say, well, look at it this way. Sometimes I 0:05:57.560 --> 0:06:00.960 get through to you. Yes, yes, but yes, so welcome 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:03.159 to Reasonably Shady, where you will get a lot of 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:06.840 reason and a lot of shades. Yes, absolutely, Now I 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:11.080 can say that a hundred years ago I moved to Baltimore, 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:13.480 I got married, and um me and my husband at 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:15.640 the time went to the car wash and who did 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:19.320 I see but this beautiful woman. And I was like, 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:21.120 oh my gosh, she really pretty. She kind of looked 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:24.360 like me, you know what I'm saying, and beautiful. Yes, 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:26.800 that's when she was beautiful. But no I saw her 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:29.800 and I was like, Wow, she's really really beautiful. And 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:33.000 I thought to myself, I wonder who that is. Then 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:36.800 years later I was at a party long Behold. This 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:40.480 beautiful woman was introduced to me by our French charies. 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:45.520 So she Reis invited us both to a charity event. Um, 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:47.520 one of the biggest, you know, one of the biggest 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:49.640 charity events in the city of d C. All the 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:53.320 women look forward to it when everyone gets pissy drunk. Um. 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:56.920 So everyone was pissy drunk at this charity event except 0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:58.800 for us maybe probably like a little bit. I was 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:03.119 probably partaking. We ended up at the same table, sitting 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:07.160 right next to each other. Yes, So once I realized 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:10.320 who she was, She's Robin Dixon. It dawned upon me 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:12.840 because when I moved to Baltimore, Robin is from Baltimore 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:15.320 that everybody kept asking me was I related to Robin Dixon? 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:17.480 And I was like, I don't know, no Robin Dixon, 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:19.560 and who the hell is Robin Dixon and Robin Dixon what? 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:22.480 So then I was like, holy shit, you're a girl 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:26.040 everybody's been asking me about and she's beautiful, so I 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:28.560 don't mind being related to her. We're not related, but 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:34.320 I mean, you know exactly, so we instantly became besties 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:36.800 and like the rest is history. But I feel like 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:39.200 it took like it was like we were sitting next 0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:42.480 to each other and we instantly we're being reasonably shady. 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:46.480 I probably was being shady too, though, absolutely we're being 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:50.120 shady shady, and we were just you know, observing the 0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:53.280 people in the party, you know, making little comments about 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:56.160 what was going on and having a good time. And 0:07:56.760 --> 0:08:00.880 it probably took a minute, really for you to realize, oh, 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:04.400 you're the girl from Baltimore that everyone thinks. Yes, my 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:06.880 cousin is right. It did take a minute, But once 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:09.160 I figured it out, I was like cool, Like, at 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:12.160 least it was somebody that I thought was cool as 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:14.400 opposed to an asshole, and it's you know, it's kind 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:16.720 of weird. It's like, even though you didn't know me, 0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:20.000 just figuring out that there was some sort of connection 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:22.120 and you knew people that knew me. It was like, okay, 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:25.760 all right, she's really cool. And then I realized that 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:27.840 she was the woman on the side of the metro 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:32.520 bus that I would see. I hate robbing right now, Okay, 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:35.000 I hate robbing because once upon a time I was 0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:40.640 on metro buses as a billboard. Not because um, I'm 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:44.240 wanted for like a crime or something. Well no, no, no, 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:46.000 you weren't on the bus for a crime, but you 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:49.360 were like laying on top of your then husband Jamal, 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:54.040 like to our church. Yes, okay, they were very cute. 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:55.680 It was. It was very cute, and I was on, 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:59.280 look at I need I have to find a picture 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:01.600 of these busses. I mean I would literally be like, Oh, 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:03.520 who's that woman on the side of the bus. She's 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:06.959 pretty Like who are there? Robin is hating on my past? Yes, 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:11.000 I like it was so we were like instantly I 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:12.960 was like, oh, that's the woman outside of the bus, 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:15.280 and just I was like, oh that's the woman that 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:19.080 everyone thinks it's my cousin. And we were, you know, 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:24.800 both silly, goofy, having fun laughing, instantly hit it off. Yes, 0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:28.160 And then years later, um, we got a call about 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:31.600 a show called The Real Housewives Potomac and we've rocked 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:35.640 that out for I don't know, several seasons. So it 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:38.600 helps solidify I mean, we were already best these before then, 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:40.960 but it really helped with our relationship. And we've had 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:42.800 each other's back on the show. They've been trying to 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:45.480 tell us apart, but we have had each other's back, 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:48.280 and I like totally appreciate that. By the way, I 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:51.040 appreciate that. Thank you. Oh, I mean that's what real 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:55.840 friends do. Yes. Absolutely, Like on the podcast, we had 0:09:55.880 --> 0:10:03.000 zero listeners, yes, okay, and now we have like passed millions. Okay, fine, 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:05.920 we've surpassed one million. So we actually started from the 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:08.600 bottom out here. That's true. Yeah, that is very true. 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:12.800 And I mean, I'll be honest. I mean, I'll be shady. 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:19.040 I've actually seen many a podcast begin and they don't 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:22.800 really stay on for very long. And now I say, oh, 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:25.440 where's that pocket. Oh it's gone, it's gone, it's gone. 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:27.360 No more, I haven't I haven't seen an episode. I 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:31.360 haven't heard an episode in love about twenty eight weeks. Yeah, no, 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:35.840 they disappear. So the fact that we're still here, yeah, 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:39.199 is amazing. Yeah, and I'm not I'm not being you know, 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:41.800 I'm not taking anything away from the people who don't succeed, 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:44.080 because you know, one day I might be like I'm done. 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:50.080 But um, it's hard. It's hard work. Yeah, for sure. 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:53.280 I think you know, you don't really understand the work 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:55.640 that goes into it until you're you know, doing it, 0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:57.280 because I think some people think, oh, you know, Okay, 0:10:57.280 --> 0:10:59.080 I can get on a microphone. I can I can 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:02.560 hop on I can talk for my bed whatever. But 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:04.280 it's a lot of work, it's a lot of planning, 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:07.240 it's a it's a huge time commitment. I've never seen 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:10.480 yourself so much in my life, and you love every 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:13.880 second of it. Like I'm one of your favorites. I know, yes, right, 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:17.640 she made it to my favorite She a podcast is 0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:19.839 what made what got her to my favorite list. But no, 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:21.800 I mean it's actually been really great for our friendship 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:24.160 because we do spend a lot of time with each other, 0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:26.959 and it's not like we're not like, oh my god, 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:28.880 I'm done. Like a lot of times we'll do a 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:31.280 podcast and then we'll go out to dinner. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:35.240 We we enjoy spending time together and I I'm happy 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:37.520 that I like you a whole lot, because otherwise this 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:39.880 would be horrible. Yeah, we wouldn't have we would have 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:41.640 made it. No, we would have made it. Speaking of 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:43.520 like doing a podcast from your bed, I remember I 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:46.280 did Hannah Burner who used to be on Bravo, and 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:48.960 she had a podcast, and so she asked me to 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:50.199 do it. So I was like cool and it was 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:52.680 a zoom. I got on zoom Hannah straight up in 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:56.719 bed like covers over her waist, like you know what 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:58.560 I mean. And I was like, yo, this is how 0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:00.559 you do a podcast because in this just before we 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:04.360 started reasonably shady something no, and I actually kind of 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:06.839 thought we could do that too. We could we should 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.080 try that one. Now we shouldn't. I think we should know. 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:11.080 I love you hand that on the count now, I 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:12.880 love you, Hannah. But doing a podcast on the baby 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:17.599 in the same bed, now, yes, we are going to 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:19.880 be the same bady. We're going to invite NICKI Yes, 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:25.080 yes we are all right. So some other like amazing 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:27.720 um episodes that we had, of course they're all amazing, 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:31.679 but the embarrassment of sex. You guys, you people out there, 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:34.760 you'll actually liked that one. Oh my gosh, that one. 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:39.040 That one actually is our top downloaded episodes. And I 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:41.120 want to say from that one that that's the one 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:42.760 where you told us about you left the man on 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:49.960 the floor like that. All right, how about this one 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:53.600 having sex? He's eight years older than me, and he's 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:58.000 always tired. It's so annoying. He's eight years older. He's 0:12:58.000 --> 0:12:59.680 always tired, So they gotta do it like in the 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:02.719 morning when he wakes up or what do you mean, 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:05.960 like sleepy tired or you mean like out of breath tired. 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:09.600 He's probably both. He's probably both just eight years older. 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:13.120 I mean, I think sleepy tired. But then okay, so 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:15.280 but this is the this is in the reverse. So 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:16.920 I was dating this guy who was like ten years 0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:19.480 younger than me. Oh my gosh, listen, I didn't have 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:22.480 enough standing about I didn't I didn't take my wheties. 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:26.560 I was like, dude, like, okay, first of all, a 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:34.560 good twenty eight minutes is good for me. Okay, but 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:40.679 he'll be like it would be like, I'm like, you know, 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:45.800 that's enough. I will never forget. I'm the worst, the 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:47.720 absolutely worst. There was one dude and this was not 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:49.400 the young kid and I shouldn't be sharing this, but 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:51.320 I'm gonna share this because we're getting towards the end 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:54.080 of this, uh this episode. So there was this one 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:57.679 dude and he was like, I'm very fit, okay, and 0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:01.160 it was going on, waits along right, and I just 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:03.680 was like, oh my god, I cannot Somehow we ended 0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:08.760 up on the floor right. Guess what I left his 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:10.400 ass there? I got up in the middle of the 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:13.040 whole thing and I literally put my clothes on the left. 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:14.720 I was like, dude, I gotta go. Oh I got it. 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:17.640 I was like what I was like, I'm out. Oh 0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:20.400 my god. I was like, and then did you continue? 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:22.720 Like did you see him again? After that? I've not 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:25.720 done that with him again, and that was probably why 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:30.280 the pandemic. But I just was like, I can't do this. 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:32.880 I'm not fit for this. But guess what I wanted 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:34.760 to go find. We were in a hotel. I wanted 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:36.640 to go find another girl in the lobby and send 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:42.400 her up because he was clearly not dune. And I was, okay, 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:46.920 now are they like, you know, climax and then they 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:49.040 just want to go again or they just like so 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:51.960 the young dude would he would guess it would be 0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:56.440 like ten in a row. And I'm like, dude, who's 0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:59.000 got time for this? Because I'm done. I want to 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:02.080 go to sleep. I three, this was a mess, But 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:04.800 the other one, no, he was just ready to go, 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:08.560 and I was like wow. And I didn't even feel 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:10.800 bad that I left his ass on the floor with 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:14.480 a hard one. I didn't know how he ended up 0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:18.240 on the floor. This is terrible anyway, guys, that is 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:24.640 our show today. Yes, I left him on the floor. Yes, 0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:27.720 that is why I could. I couldn't finish the job, guys. 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:30.080 I could not finish the job. Right, she got she 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:34.720 got tired. Yes, And I actually walked over him. Oh 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:37.280 my god. You know that's bad luck, right when you 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:40.440 walk over somebody? Is it? Who said that? I don't 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:45.880 know what Grandma said that. Somebody I don't know. Okay, 0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:50.600 all right, So that that was a good one. And 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:54.800 then I'm conceited and I got a reason. And I 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:56.920 just want you all to know that if we inspired 0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:59.320 some of you all out there to be conceited, because 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:02.440 you gotta read since and that was our job. We 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:05.160 did it to get it, get y'all inspired. We did that. 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:11.440 We did that. Tonight's question was in line with the 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:16.000 topic the episode, what are your physical insecurities? And I 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:19.120 think this is such a great question because you listeners 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:22.760 are going to realize, Wow, most people have the same 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:26.640 insecurities that I do, and so to hell with our insecurities, 0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:30.320 y'all insecurities be gone exactly. So I want to just 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:34.120 share um a lot of the responses. Okay, so stomach 0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:41.320 is number one. Stomach, stomach, and you said that, yes, 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:44.400 that's it. So they just food, but that's it. And 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:46.560 I mean and I and I feel like, you know, 0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:51.160 I have a little fopa to um. Yeah, yeah, I 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:53.200 mean that that that thing is it is hard to 0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:55.640 get rid of, right, you see, if you're super thin, 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:57.880 you're still going to have that a little something. So 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:00.760 so the answer to all of that is is because 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:03.680 we all have it, don't be insecure about it, right, yeah, 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:07.800 let it go. Absolutely, Yeah, absolutely, And even though we 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:09.800 know we have a food but like other people won't 0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:14.879 even notice it, right you know. So skin, so whether 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:21.720 it's discoloration under eye, you know, dark under eyes, moles um, 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:26.480 skin was a big response. So everyone you know, you're 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:29.360 you're not alone. Well, no one's skin is perfect, that's 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:32.440 just it. Is what it is. So understand that, and 0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:36.240 why why are you trying to reach for this perfection 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:39.239 of skin? Right? Like God gave you some skin, and 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:41.600 be comfortable with the skin you in, right, And I 0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:43.199 just said, you know, I mean, I don't know. I 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:45.840 don't have like the magic pill for perfect skin. But 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:47.879 drink more water, you know. I think a lot of 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:52.080 times our skin does not look great or because we're 0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:54.960 not drinking enough water. So it always comes from inside. Yeah, 0:17:55.000 --> 0:17:57.960 absolutely so, so you know that. So we have stomach 0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:01.000 number one, skin was number two, sun number third. Just 0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:07.320 wait overall in general and yes, yes, especially after COVID, 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:09.760 I think you know a lot of us are not 0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:13.680 happy with our weight, but that is something very common. 0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:17.200 So but with the weight, I always feel like it's 0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:20.160 not necessarily about the weight, but you always want to 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:23.560 be be mindful of it because it's about your health 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:28.199 and it's about being healthy, living a healthy lifestyle, and people, 0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:30.520 you cannot continue to complain about your weight. But you're 0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:34.480 eating fried chicken. Um, you're not eating healthy. You're drinking 0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:36.320 a whole lot because you're hanging out with your girlfriends 0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:39.680 and y'all like talking about nonsense, like understand what you're 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:41.600 doing to your body. And I'm not saying don't do 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:44.480 those things, but just do things in moderation exactly. And 0:18:44.520 --> 0:18:48.159 it's not easy. It's not easy to be disciplined and 0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:50.680 to eat all the right things, but like you said, 0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:54.400 everything in moderation. So weight is a is a big one. Um. 0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:58.320 I thought I heard from some men what the men's saying. 0:18:58.359 --> 0:19:02.760 So the men are insecure about their chest. Okay, they want, 0:19:02.800 --> 0:19:04.760 you know, they want to have a bigger chest. You know, 0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:06.600 maybe they have some man boobs that they want to 0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:10.560 get rid of, So that's an insecurity. Their hairline, Oh yeah, 0:19:10.600 --> 0:19:14.680 that's oh yeah, yeah, I can get you know, theos 0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:20.440 or whatever it is. You just cut it off, just 0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:23.520 cut it off. I mean, bald men are sexy, so 0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:27.400 I would rather And this is like every other week 0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:30.080 conversation in my house because one is like, oh, it 0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:31.760 looks like my hair's going back, and I'm like, nah, 0:19:32.600 --> 0:19:37.159 you know what I mean. So so it's that is 0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:41.280 definitely a big struggle. And then we just have you know, nose, 0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:48.399 crooked teeth, smiling yeah yeah, and arm yes, I have 0:19:48.480 --> 0:19:52.240 arm jiggle on here. Um. Aging, So I have one 0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:56.160 person that responded about aging it was probably more than people. 0:19:56.200 --> 0:19:58.360 But but her response said, it used to be aging, 0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:02.720 but now I don't care. And I love that if 0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:07.040 you're aging, you're living. So but it's also you should 0:20:07.040 --> 0:20:10.520 be grateful that you're aging. We're not dead, right, absolutely 0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:14.720 absolutely so, and we're all going to age, all of us, 0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:17.800 and so you know that's one thing. It's like, you know, 0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:19.920 we just I think we should just feel blessed that 0:20:19.960 --> 0:20:24.200 we are aging. I think I know that we've inspired 0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:27.520 people because we have received messages just saying like, thank you, 0:20:27.600 --> 0:20:31.439 ladies for being yourselves. You encourage me and let me 0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:33.760 know it's okay to be myself, and I give a 0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:37.520 damn yes. So I know we're inspiring people as as 0:20:37.520 --> 0:20:42.320 frivolous and shallow as that sounds. We inspired you from 0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:45.040 our silly old podcast. And you know what's so crazy, 0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:47.440 because you know we do have um, the Housewives of Potomac, 0:20:47.520 --> 0:20:52.119 and we we do enjoy being aspirational on that show. 0:20:52.200 --> 0:20:55.080 Meaning we do know that people love the way that 0:20:55.160 --> 0:20:57.560 you know, I am with my kids, seeing you as 0:20:57.560 --> 0:21:01.560 a businesswoman, UM, seeing our friendships and how we navigate 0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:04.960 friendships that we might not necessarily like, and that that 0:21:05.119 --> 0:21:08.560 is inspirational. But then we get to the podcast and 0:21:08.600 --> 0:21:11.119 we just go balls to the wall and we you know, 0:21:11.160 --> 0:21:13.000 we try to inspire, you'll not We don't try to 0:21:13.040 --> 0:21:15.960 inspire you'all. We're just talking our ship, right, yeh. But 0:21:15.960 --> 0:21:18.480 but I think it does. I think there are a 0:21:18.520 --> 0:21:20.760 lot of people who live life worried about what other 0:21:20.800 --> 0:21:23.959 people think, and they're not willing to show a certain 0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:28.400 side of themselves, um in certain venues or avenues, and 0:21:28.600 --> 0:21:31.440 like we're over here, you know, we hold no punches, 0:21:31.480 --> 0:21:35.239 we have no filter. And I think the probably one 0:21:35.240 --> 0:21:37.000 of the big things you can probably pick up on 0:21:37.119 --> 0:21:40.160 us is like we have no problem laughing at ourselves. 0:21:40.800 --> 0:21:44.040 And I think in life, when you can laugh at yourself, 0:21:44.520 --> 0:21:47.760 life is so much better. Yes, you know. So it's like, 0:21:47.840 --> 0:21:50.639 don't take yourself too seriously, don't have a stick up 0:21:50.640 --> 0:21:53.520 your butt, don't worry about what people are gonna say 0:21:53.600 --> 0:21:55.960 if you say this or if you act this way. 0:21:56.040 --> 0:21:58.760 Just be yourself right and understand, like you know, whatever 0:21:58.800 --> 0:22:01.320 little you know not or whatever struggles you go through 0:22:01.400 --> 0:22:04.360 or whatever issues that you have, other people have had 0:22:04.400 --> 0:22:07.200 the same ones and you're not alone. And so instead 0:22:07.200 --> 0:22:10.159 of the worry about like how people are going to 0:22:10.160 --> 0:22:12.439 perceive you or how you're going to be judged, Like 0:22:12.960 --> 0:22:16.760 let that go, release that, release that negative energy, just 0:22:16.960 --> 0:22:19.720 try to die. I wish I could like rub my like, 0:22:20.640 --> 0:22:24.040
