Speaker 1: Oh I've been. I've been to the right New Year's parties.
Speaker 1: I don't know, have you? Yes, I have my parents.
Speaker 1: So I remember every year my parents would go to
Speaker 1: a party every year and they would look forward to it.
Speaker 1: It was, you know, it's always in like a hotel
Speaker 1: ballroom and with one of the organizations that they belonged to,
Speaker 1: so it was just like a very nice crowd. They
Speaker 1: would you know, all buy a table and invite all
Speaker 1: their friends ends, and you know, they would have a
Speaker 1: good old time. They probably would get a you know,
Speaker 1: hotel room stay out and they dress all up. And
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, you haven't done that, So maybe that's
Speaker 1: what I haven't been. Okay, you ought to go to

Speaker 1: was the sound effects. So one was a good year
Speaker 1: for us. Robine was amazing. Yes, one we started in
Speaker 1: May reasonably shady, So thank you guys for being with us.
Speaker 1: We Birth the podcast We Birth did it? It came
Speaker 1: out of our loins, birth out of my loins, Robin's loins.
Speaker 1: Here we are somewhere in there. We picked up Carly.
Speaker 1: She's you know, been rocking with us since where we
Speaker 1: listen you brought her. You don't know where she came from.
Speaker 1: I don't know the corners. Anyway, we would love the
Speaker 1: fact that Carly has been rocking with us. Um, we're
Speaker 1: gonna keep her with us. And you know what, we
Speaker 1: would like to share with you all some of since
Speaker 1: we're you know, talking about one and it was just
Speaker 1: such such a great year. We've had like some very
Speaker 1: memorable episodes. Yes, indeed, I feel like everyone is memorable.
Speaker 1: It is, it is, And to be quite honest, I
Speaker 1: love when Robin Dixon is either tired or hungry because
Speaker 1: she's so freaking shady, Like I don't even have to
Speaker 1: be shady, Like I'm typically shady when I wake up
Speaker 1: in the morning, but when rob is hungry, I know,
Speaker 1: it's so funny when people message me, they're like, Okay, Robin,
Speaker 1: you were really shady in this episode. I think I'm
Speaker 1: gonna starve you so that you could just be shady
Speaker 1: all day, Robin, shade, I think that's what's happening. You
Speaker 1: don't want that. No, shade turns into anger, true, true, true, true.
Speaker 1: We don't want to get there. We we don't want
Speaker 1: to get there, but I do want to know. Note
Speaker 1: make note of I do like it sprinkled in Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: indoses um oka. Friends. We couldn't be friends if I
Speaker 1: wasn't shady too. No, no, no, And sometimes I'm reasonable.
Speaker 1: You know what's you know what's so crazy? We Robin
Speaker 1: has not responded. Okay, So when you are shady, I
Speaker 1: think I get reasonable. No, that's not do I get
Speaker 1: more shady when you're shady. I just add onto the shade. Okay,
Speaker 1: So listen. Our first episode was called started from the bottom.
Speaker 1: Now we're here, so I want you all to know
Speaker 1: that that was kind of like a prophecy, right because
Speaker 1: we did actually start from the bottom. Welcome to Reasonably Shady.
Speaker 1: This is just L Briant here and I am here
Speaker 1: with hello everyone. My name is Robin Dixon. Yes, this
Speaker 1: is our Reasonably Shady podcast. This is our first podcast. Guys.
Speaker 1: We don't know the hell we're doing, but just bear
Speaker 1: with us because we're going to figure it out and
Speaker 1: by the time we're like on episode, I don't know,
Speaker 1: twenty eight will be great. So we do kind of
Speaker 1: want to tell people how we met, right, well, I
Speaker 1: think we should start off with, um, just why are we?
Speaker 1: Why is this podcast called Reasonably Shady? That's very important. Um.
Speaker 1: So to know us is to know that Robin is
Speaker 1: extremely reasonable, She's like practical, She's always like Switzerland. She
Speaker 1: always tried to see the good in people. And I'm
Speaker 1: just shady. Okay, yes, so Gesell's first um reaction to
Speaker 1: something is a shady one, and then I think about it,
Speaker 1: I processed it, and then I try to be like Robin,
Speaker 1: which is very reasonable, but it doesn't really work. I
Speaker 1: just stay on the shady side. Yes, you sure do, Yes,
Speaker 1: I mean, but sometimes you don't take that much convincing.
Speaker 1: I have to, like, you know, we'll have a private conversation.
Speaker 1: I'll say, well, look at it this way. Sometimes I
Speaker 1: get through to you. Yes, yes, but yes, so welcome
Speaker 1: to Reasonably Shady, where you will get a lot of
Speaker 1: reason and a lot of shades. Yes, absolutely, Now I
Speaker 1: can say that a hundred years ago I moved to Baltimore,
Speaker 1: I got married, and um me and my husband at
Speaker 1: the time went to the car wash and who did
Speaker 1: I see but this beautiful woman. And I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, she really pretty. She kind of looked
Speaker 1: like me, you know what I'm saying, and beautiful. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's when she was beautiful. But no I saw her
Speaker 1: and I was like, Wow, she's really really beautiful. And
Speaker 1: I thought to myself, I wonder who that is. Then
Speaker 1: years later I was at a party long Behold. This
Speaker 1: beautiful woman was introduced to me by our French charies.
Speaker 1: So she Reis invited us both to a charity event. Um,
Speaker 1: one of the biggest, you know, one of the biggest
Speaker 1: charity events in the city of d C. All the
Speaker 1: women look forward to it when everyone gets pissy drunk. Um.
Speaker 1: So everyone was pissy drunk at this charity event except
Speaker 1: for us maybe probably like a little bit. I was
Speaker 1: probably partaking. We ended up at the same table, sitting
Speaker 1: right next to each other. Yes, So once I realized
Speaker 1: who she was, She's Robin Dixon. It dawned upon me
Speaker 1: because when I moved to Baltimore, Robin is from Baltimore
Speaker 1: that everybody kept asking me was I related to Robin Dixon?
Speaker 1: And I was like, I don't know, no Robin Dixon,
Speaker 1: and who the hell is Robin Dixon and Robin Dixon what?
Speaker 1: So then I was like, holy shit, you're a girl
Speaker 1: everybody's been asking me about and she's beautiful, so I
Speaker 1: don't mind being related to her. We're not related, but
Speaker 1: I mean, you know exactly, so we instantly became besties
Speaker 1: and like the rest is history. But I feel like
Speaker 1: it took like it was like we were sitting next
Speaker 1: to each other and we instantly we're being reasonably shady.
Speaker 1: I probably was being shady too, though, absolutely we're being
Speaker 1: shady shady, and we were just you know, observing the
Speaker 1: people in the party, you know, making little comments about
Speaker 1: what was going on and having a good time. And
Speaker 1: it probably took a minute, really for you to realize, oh,
Speaker 1: you're the girl from Baltimore that everyone thinks. Yes, my
Speaker 1: cousin is right. It did take a minute, But once
Speaker 1: I figured it out, I was like cool, Like, at
Speaker 1: least it was somebody that I thought was cool as
Speaker 1: opposed to an asshole, and it's you know, it's kind
Speaker 1: of weird. It's like, even though you didn't know me,
Speaker 1: just figuring out that there was some sort of connection
Speaker 1: and you knew people that knew me. It was like, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, she's really cool. And then I realized that
Speaker 1: she was the woman on the side of the metro
Speaker 1: bus that I would see. I hate robbing right now, Okay,
Speaker 1: I hate robbing because once upon a time I was
Speaker 1: on metro buses as a billboard. Not because um, I'm
Speaker 1: wanted for like a crime or something. Well no, no, no,
Speaker 1: you weren't on the bus for a crime, but you
Speaker 1: were like laying on top of your then husband Jamal,
Speaker 1: like to our church. Yes, okay, they were very cute.
Speaker 1: It was. It was very cute, and I was on,
Speaker 1: look at I need I have to find a picture
Speaker 1: of these busses. I mean I would literally be like, Oh,
Speaker 1: who's that woman on the side of the bus. She's
Speaker 1: pretty Like who are there? Robin is hating on my past? Yes,
Speaker 1: I like it was so we were like instantly I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, that's the woman outside of the bus,
Speaker 1: and just I was like, oh that's the woman that
Speaker 1: everyone thinks it's my cousin. And we were, you know,
Speaker 1: both silly, goofy, having fun laughing, instantly hit it off. Yes,
Speaker 1: And then years later, um, we got a call about
Speaker 1: a show called The Real Housewives Potomac and we've rocked
Speaker 1: that out for I don't know, several seasons. So it
Speaker 1: helps solidify I mean, we were already best these before then,
Speaker 1: but it really helped with our relationship. And we've had
Speaker 1: each other's back on the show. They've been trying to
Speaker 1: tell us apart, but we have had each other's back,
Speaker 1: and I like totally appreciate that. By the way, I
Speaker 1: appreciate that. Thank you. Oh, I mean that's what real
Speaker 1: friends do. Yes. Absolutely, Like on the podcast, we had
Speaker 1: zero listeners, yes, okay, and now we have like passed millions. Okay, fine,
Speaker 1: we've surpassed one million. So we actually started from the
Speaker 1: bottom out here. That's true. Yeah, that is very true.
Speaker 1: And I mean, I'll be honest. I mean, I'll be shady.
Speaker 1: I've actually seen many a podcast begin and they don't
Speaker 1: really stay on for very long. And now I say, oh,
Speaker 1: where's that pocket. Oh it's gone, it's gone, it's gone.
Speaker 1: No more, I haven't I haven't seen an episode. I
Speaker 1: haven't heard an episode in love about twenty eight weeks. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: they disappear. So the fact that we're still here, yeah,
Speaker 1: is amazing. Yeah, and I'm not I'm not being you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not taking anything away from the people who don't succeed,
Speaker 1: because you know, one day I might be like I'm done.
Speaker 1: But um, it's hard. It's hard work. Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1: I think you know, you don't really understand the work
Speaker 1: that goes into it until you're you know, doing it,
Speaker 1: because I think some people think, oh, you know, Okay,
Speaker 1: I can get on a microphone. I can I can
Speaker 1: hop on I can talk for my bed whatever. But
Speaker 1: it's a lot of work, it's a lot of planning,
Speaker 1: it's a it's a huge time commitment. I've never seen
Speaker 1: yourself so much in my life, and you love every
Speaker 1: second of it. Like I'm one of your favorites. I know, yes, right,
Speaker 1: she made it to my favorite She a podcast is
Speaker 1: what made what got her to my favorite list. But no,
Speaker 1: I mean it's actually been really great for our friendship
Speaker 1: because we do spend a lot of time with each other,
Speaker 1: and it's not like we're not like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I'm done. Like a lot of times we'll do a
Speaker 1: podcast and then we'll go out to dinner. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: We we enjoy spending time together and I I'm happy
Speaker 1: that I like you a whole lot, because otherwise this
Speaker 1: would be horrible. Yeah, we wouldn't have we would have
Speaker 1: made it. No, we would have made it. Speaking of
Speaker 1: like doing a podcast from your bed, I remember I
Speaker 1: did Hannah Burner who used to be on Bravo, and
Speaker 1: she had a podcast, and so she asked me to
Speaker 1: do it. So I was like cool and it was
Speaker 1: a zoom. I got on zoom Hannah straight up in
Speaker 1: bed like covers over her waist, like you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. And I was like, yo, this is how
Speaker 1: you do a podcast because in this just before we
Speaker 1: started reasonably shady something no, and I actually kind of
Speaker 1: thought we could do that too. We could we should
Speaker 1: try that one. Now we shouldn't. I think we should know.
Speaker 1: I love you hand that on the count now, I
Speaker 1: love you, Hannah. But doing a podcast on the baby
Speaker 1: in the same bed, now, yes, we are going to
Speaker 1: be the same bady. We're going to invite NICKI Yes,
Speaker 1: yes we are all right. So some other like amazing
Speaker 1: um episodes that we had, of course they're all amazing,
Speaker 1: but the embarrassment of sex. You guys, you people out there,
Speaker 1: you'll actually liked that one. Oh my gosh, that one.
Speaker 1: That one actually is our top downloaded episodes. And I
Speaker 1: want to say from that one that that's the one
Speaker 1: where you told us about you left the man on
Speaker 1: the floor like that. All right, how about this one
Speaker 1: having sex? He's eight years older than me, and he's
Speaker 1: always tired. It's so annoying. He's eight years older. He's
Speaker 1: always tired, So they gotta do it like in the
Speaker 1: morning when he wakes up or what do you mean,
Speaker 1: like sleepy tired or you mean like out of breath tired.
Speaker 1: He's probably both. He's probably both just eight years older.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think sleepy tired. But then okay, so
Speaker 1: but this is the this is in the reverse. So
Speaker 1: I was dating this guy who was like ten years
Speaker 1: younger than me. Oh my gosh, listen, I didn't have
Speaker 1: enough standing about I didn't I didn't take my wheties.
Speaker 1: I was like, dude, like, okay, first of all, a
Speaker 1: good twenty eight minutes is good for me. Okay, but
Speaker 1: he'll be like it would be like, I'm like, you know,
Speaker 1: that's enough. I will never forget. I'm the worst, the
Speaker 1: absolutely worst. There was one dude and this was not
Speaker 1: the young kid and I shouldn't be sharing this, but
Speaker 1: I'm gonna share this because we're getting towards the end
Speaker 1: of this, uh this episode. So there was this one
Speaker 1: dude and he was like, I'm very fit, okay, and
Speaker 1: it was going on, waits along right, and I just
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, I cannot Somehow we ended
Speaker 1: up on the floor right. Guess what I left his
Speaker 1: ass there? I got up in the middle of the
Speaker 1: whole thing and I literally put my clothes on the left.
Speaker 1: I was like, dude, I gotta go. Oh I got it.
Speaker 1: I was like what I was like, I'm out. Oh
Speaker 1: my god. I was like, and then did you continue?
Speaker 1: Like did you see him again? After that? I've not
Speaker 1: done that with him again, and that was probably why
Speaker 1: the pandemic. But I just was like, I can't do this.
Speaker 1: I'm not fit for this. But guess what I wanted
Speaker 1: to go find. We were in a hotel. I wanted
Speaker 1: to go find another girl in the lobby and send
Speaker 1: her up because he was clearly not dune. And I was, okay,
Speaker 1: now are they like, you know, climax and then they
Speaker 1: just want to go again or they just like so
Speaker 1: the young dude would he would guess it would be
Speaker 1: like ten in a row. And I'm like, dude, who's
Speaker 1: got time for this? Because I'm done. I want to
Speaker 1: go to sleep. I three, this was a mess, But
Speaker 1: the other one, no, he was just ready to go,
Speaker 1: and I was like wow. And I didn't even feel
Speaker 1: bad that I left his ass on the floor with
Speaker 1: a hard one. I didn't know how he ended up
Speaker 1: on the floor. This is terrible anyway, guys, that is
Speaker 1: our show today. Yes, I left him on the floor. Yes,
Speaker 1: that is why I could. I couldn't finish the job, guys.
Speaker 1: I could not finish the job. Right, she got she
Speaker 1: got tired. Yes, And I actually walked over him. Oh
Speaker 1: my god. You know that's bad luck, right when you
Speaker 1: walk over somebody? Is it? Who said that? I don't
Speaker 1: know what Grandma said that. Somebody I don't know. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, So that that was a good one. And
Speaker 1: then I'm conceited and I got a reason. And I
Speaker 1: just want you all to know that if we inspired
Speaker 1: some of you all out there to be conceited, because
Speaker 1: you gotta read since and that was our job. We
Speaker 1: did it to get it, get y'all inspired. We did that.
Speaker 1: We did that. Tonight's question was in line with the
Speaker 1: topic the episode, what are your physical insecurities? And I
Speaker 1: think this is such a great question because you listeners
Speaker 1: are going to realize, Wow, most people have the same
Speaker 1: insecurities that I do, and so to hell with our insecurities,
Speaker 1: y'all insecurities be gone exactly. So I want to just
Speaker 1: share um a lot of the responses. Okay, so stomach
Speaker 1: is number one. Stomach, stomach, and you said that, yes,
Speaker 1: that's it. So they just food, but that's it. And
Speaker 1: I mean and I and I feel like, you know,
Speaker 1: I have a little fopa to um. Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean that that that thing is it is hard to
Speaker 1: get rid of, right, you see, if you're super thin,
Speaker 1: you're still going to have that a little something. So
Speaker 1: so the answer to all of that is is because
Speaker 1: we all have it, don't be insecure about it, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: let it go. Absolutely, Yeah, absolutely, And even though we
Speaker 1: know we have a food but like other people won't
Speaker 1: even notice it, right you know. So skin, so whether
Speaker 1: it's discoloration under eye, you know, dark under eyes, moles um,
Speaker 1: skin was a big response. So everyone you know, you're
Speaker 1: you're not alone. Well, no one's skin is perfect, that's
Speaker 1: just it. Is what it is. So understand that, and
Speaker 1: why why are you trying to reach for this perfection
Speaker 1: of skin? Right? Like God gave you some skin, and
Speaker 1: be comfortable with the skin you in, right, And I
Speaker 1: just said, you know, I mean, I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't have like the magic pill for perfect skin. But
Speaker 1: drink more water, you know. I think a lot of
Speaker 1: times our skin does not look great or because we're
Speaker 1: not drinking enough water. So it always comes from inside. Yeah,
Speaker 1: absolutely so, so you know that. So we have stomach
Speaker 1: number one, skin was number two, sun number third. Just
Speaker 1: wait overall in general and yes, yes, especially after COVID,
Speaker 1: I think you know a lot of us are not
Speaker 1: happy with our weight, but that is something very common.
Speaker 1: So but with the weight, I always feel like it's
Speaker 1: not necessarily about the weight, but you always want to
Speaker 1: be be mindful of it because it's about your health
Speaker 1: and it's about being healthy, living a healthy lifestyle, and people,
Speaker 1: you cannot continue to complain about your weight. But you're
Speaker 1: eating fried chicken. Um, you're not eating healthy. You're drinking
Speaker 1: a whole lot because you're hanging out with your girlfriends
Speaker 1: and y'all like talking about nonsense, like understand what you're
Speaker 1: doing to your body. And I'm not saying don't do
Speaker 1: those things, but just do things in moderation exactly. And
Speaker 1: it's not easy. It's not easy to be disciplined and
Speaker 1: to eat all the right things, but like you said,
Speaker 1: everything in moderation. So weight is a is a big one. Um.
Speaker 1: I thought I heard from some men what the men's saying.
Speaker 1: So the men are insecure about their chest. Okay, they want,
Speaker 1: you know, they want to have a bigger chest. You know,
Speaker 1: maybe they have some man boobs that they want to
Speaker 1: get rid of, So that's an insecurity. Their hairline, Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: that's oh yeah, yeah, I can get you know, theos
Speaker 1: or whatever it is. You just cut it off, just
Speaker 1: cut it off. I mean, bald men are sexy, so
Speaker 1: I would rather And this is like every other week
Speaker 1: conversation in my house because one is like, oh, it
Speaker 1: looks like my hair's going back, and I'm like, nah,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So so it's that is
Speaker 1: definitely a big struggle. And then we just have you know, nose,
Speaker 1: crooked teeth, smiling yeah yeah, and arm yes, I have
Speaker 1: arm jiggle on here. Um. Aging, So I have one
Speaker 1: person that responded about aging it was probably more than people.
Speaker 1: But but her response said, it used to be aging,
Speaker 1: but now I don't care. And I love that if
Speaker 1: you're aging, you're living. So but it's also you should
Speaker 1: be grateful that you're aging. We're not dead, right, absolutely
Speaker 1: absolutely so, and we're all going to age, all of us,
Speaker 1: and so you know that's one thing. It's like, you know,
Speaker 1: we just I think we should just feel blessed that
Speaker 1: we are aging. I think I know that we've inspired
Speaker 1: people because we have received messages just saying like, thank you,
Speaker 1: ladies for being yourselves. You encourage me and let me
Speaker 1: know it's okay to be myself, and I give a
Speaker 1: damn yes. So I know we're inspiring people as as
Speaker 1: frivolous and shallow as that sounds. We inspired you from
Speaker 1: our silly old podcast. And you know what's so crazy,
Speaker 1: because you know we do have um, the Housewives of Potomac,
Speaker 1: and we we do enjoy being aspirational on that show.
Speaker 1: Meaning we do know that people love the way that
Speaker 1: you know, I am with my kids, seeing you as
Speaker 1: a businesswoman, UM, seeing our friendships and how we navigate
Speaker 1: friendships that we might not necessarily like, and that that
Speaker 1: is inspirational. But then we get to the podcast and
Speaker 1: we just go balls to the wall and we you know,
Speaker 1: we try to inspire, you'll not We don't try to
Speaker 1: inspire you'all. We're just talking our ship, right, yeh. But
Speaker 1: but I think it does. I think there are a
Speaker 1: lot of people who live life worried about what other
Speaker 1: people think, and they're not willing to show a certain
Speaker 1: side of themselves, um in certain venues or avenues, and
Speaker 1: like we're over here, you know, we hold no punches,
Speaker 1: we have no filter. And I think the probably one
Speaker 1: of the big things you can probably pick up on
Speaker 1: us is like we have no problem laughing at ourselves.
Speaker 1: And I think in life, when you can laugh at yourself,
Speaker 1: life is so much better. Yes, you know. So it's like,
Speaker 1: don't take yourself too seriously, don't have a stick up
Speaker 1: your butt, don't worry about what people are gonna say
Speaker 1: if you say this or if you act this way.
Speaker 1: Just be yourself right and understand, like you know, whatever
Speaker 1: little you know not or whatever struggles you go through
Speaker 1: or whatever issues that you have, other people have had
Speaker 1: the same ones and you're not alone. And so instead
Speaker 1: of the worry about like how people are going to
Speaker 1: perceive you or how you're going to be judged, Like
Speaker 1: let that go, release that, release that negative energy, just
Speaker 1: try to die. I wish I could like rub my like,
Speaker 1: you know, mindset off on people because it was really you.
Speaker 1: I don't give a yes and yours too. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: like it really makes life so much better, It really does.
Speaker 1: And I can remember caring a little bit about I
Speaker 1: remember when I was married and I was like, you know,
Speaker 1: in the whole church world, and that can be very
Speaker 1: um judgment judgment, yes, And so I had to like
Speaker 1: care about like a lot of things that I don't
Speaker 1: necessarily care about. And that's a weight, yes, that I
Speaker 1: was like caring a weight of caring about what people
Speaker 1: would think about X, Y and Z. And I don't
Speaker 1: ever want to feel that way, No, not at all.
Speaker 1: You know what's so funny with me? I remember I
Speaker 1: can remember my grandmother. My grandmother was very old school traditional,
Speaker 1: and I can remember being in her house and I
Speaker 1: can't remember what it was. It might have been my
Speaker 1: hair was not done or something, and I remember her
Speaker 1: saying like, oh, you don't want people to see you
Speaker 1: like that. And I remember being young and being like
Speaker 1: Nana I don't care. I'm like Nana, I don't care
Speaker 1: what those people think. I don't care what they say.
Speaker 1: And I'm literally like eight years old, so it's kinda
Speaker 1: Nana I don't care. Yes, But and it was just
Speaker 1: so funny because like she was just totally like, you know,
Speaker 1: it's one of those you have to present yourself a
Speaker 1: certain way you have I mean, I still, of course,
Speaker 1: you know, presented myself with respect. You know, I have
Speaker 1: morals and values and all that type of stuff. But
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, I didn't let the you know, I
Speaker 1: don't know, just worrying about other people in their opinions.
Speaker 1: And that's actually probably a testament to your parents because
Speaker 1: they taught you to just be confident in who you are. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's true, because it's weird, like my grandmother's like that,
Speaker 1: but my father wasn't like that at all. His mother. Yeah, so,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. Well, this is, you know,
Speaker 1: third day into two. Do you have any New Year's resolutions?

Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know that I've ever made a
Speaker 1: resolution and kept it like never, you know what, I
Speaker 1: don't think I've ever made a resolution. No, I don't
Speaker 1: think I have either. I know I have. I know that. Okay,
Speaker 1: you know, like the beginning of January, everyone's like, okay,
Speaker 1: let me get on my fitness tip right right. So
Speaker 1: I have kind of, you know, been in that mind frame.
Speaker 1: But it's so weird. It's like something in me resists,
Speaker 1: like the whole January movement, and I'm like, I'll start
Speaker 1: in February, oh my gosh. And then she said, oh,
Speaker 1: I'll start in March. Oh my gosh, I'll start skippe
Speaker 1: Is we don't care about that and sanity Robin Sixon.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm not falling into that January trap because
Speaker 1: then it becomes like pressure it's like that, it's true
Speaker 1: to me. Stick to that Restlar, I want to try
Speaker 1: to all right it? So I just wait to February, okay,
Speaker 1: and then in February, will you be doing the resolution? Probably?
Speaker 1: I hope, so, y'all, I hope so, oh my god. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I want to be the better version of myself
Speaker 1: in two Okay, what does that look like? That just
Speaker 1: looks like, you know, me being a nicer person, me
Speaker 1: being more compassionate, me being able to hear and actually
Speaker 1: listen to people when they're talking. As a else is
Speaker 1: just like zoning out. Feel like, um season, when do
Speaker 1: we go to New Orleans? Four? Yeah, you said the
Speaker 1: same thing I did, and I didn't. I didn't follow through.
Speaker 1: It didn't last long. Okay, that's why you're my friend,
Speaker 1: Robin se can let me know that my ship is
Speaker 1: some bullshit. Okay, all right, I'm just gonna be me. Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. I'm gonna be me. I'm going to
Speaker 1: spend a little bit more time. I spent a whole
Speaker 1: lot of time my Kids'm gonna spend a little bit
Speaker 1: more time with them because I actually really really liked them. Um,
Speaker 1: I don't have to make the resolution about going to
Speaker 1: the gym. Already do that and um yeah, that's it.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna be my wonderful self. I do want
