Speaker 3: What's up?
Speaker 1: What up?
Speaker 2: Okay, So listen, it's summertime. We are all in the summertime,
Speaker 2: and it's like snuck up on me. I know, like
Speaker 2: we're in it, I know, you know what.
Speaker 1: Like here in Maryland, I feel like this is the
Speaker 1: first time I can remember it in a really, really
Speaker 1: long time that we've actually had that we've actually been
Speaker 1: able to enjoy the weather and the transition of the weather,
Speaker 1: because really, yes, normally it goes from like super cold, rainy,
Speaker 1: super cold, to super humid, true true, But we literally
Speaker 1: have been able to enjoy nice mild spring weather, beautiful days,
Speaker 1: not a ton of rain, and then it has gradually
Speaker 1: just gotten warmer and warmer like this. This is honestly
Speaker 1: the but and our winter was super mild. We didn't
Speaker 1: have any snow, which kind of sucks because I like
Speaker 1: a snow day. I like three snow days. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure, we didn't have any of those. But whatever,
Speaker 1: But this weather this year has been amazing.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: Do you have when it's when it's nice like this
Speaker 2: and it's truly the summertime? Do you have like a
Speaker 2: song playing in your head constantly?
Speaker 3: Some of them? Yes, this one? We like Will Smith? Yes, yes,
Speaker 3: I mean he's done. Do we like him again? I
Speaker 3: mean we're we're over it. We have forgiven him.
Speaker 2: Okay, because Chris Chris Rock made his money off of
Speaker 2: the whole thing. Okay, so will we kind of like
Speaker 2: you again? But yes, I have summertime like running through
Speaker 2: my head. Yes, And do you know what's been on
Speaker 2: TV lately?
Speaker 3: Hatch? Have you seen that movie?
Speaker 2: Hatch is an old movie that he did. There we go, Okay,
Speaker 2: I haven't seen Hatch.
Speaker 3: I haven't seen Hitch. And when I said Hatch, I
Speaker 3: said it with like authority. I was like, Hatch, No,
Speaker 3: it's Hitch. Hitch was a good movie. Hitch was great. Yes, Yes,
Speaker 3: that was a great movie. I think he was dating Eva, Yeah,
Speaker 3: you think I think something went dad. Was he married
Speaker 3: at the time, Yeah, they've been married forever.
Speaker 2: Oh that's true. Okay, I don't want Jada coming after me.
Speaker 2: Nothing happened between will and Yes, but she is so pretty.
Speaker 3: She's so pretty.
Speaker 1: But she like literally got married and it just disappeared.
Speaker 1: And yes, like I'm I'm happy living my married life. Listen,
Speaker 1: I saw her on Ryan Gosling, Right, did you see
Speaker 1: her on the View? No, she has she she hasn't
Speaker 1: been around or any on anything in a long time.
Speaker 3: So she's on the View.
Speaker 2: So I'm all excited. And she was like selling clothes. No,
Speaker 2: a sponge, I promise you she's selling a sponge. What
Speaker 2: like it was like some anti bacterial sponge and it
Speaker 2: lets you know when you're just supposed to throw it away,
Speaker 2: lets you know, and it has like too much bacteria
Speaker 2: on it.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, throw it away.
Speaker 2: Really, I don't need for any I don't need a
Speaker 2: sponge to tell me that, I know, like throw that
Speaker 2: ship away like week one, it's out of here.
Speaker 1: That's weird. But yes, I feel like she's trying to
Speaker 1: go the Jessica Alba route because like we haven't really
Speaker 1: seen a lot from her, but she has her whole
Speaker 1: honest you know brand line or whatever that has made
Speaker 1: made her billionaire. Bookoo money same thing with Jessica Simpson.
Speaker 1: Jessica Simpson has made bookou money and she hasn't sang
Speaker 1: a song.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so does our name have to be Jessica or Jennifer?
Speaker 2: Oh no, Eva, I don't know where I got that from.
Speaker 2: I'm saying really strange things right now. They all got
Speaker 2: to look alike.
Speaker 3: No, they don't take this microphone from her? But is
Speaker 3: is Jessica Alba? Is she really honest?
Speaker 2: What is she.
Speaker 3: Her? No?
Speaker 2: Wasn't there some when when there's some pushback or when
Speaker 2: she you know, when I started having children. I think
Speaker 2: when she came out with this whole honest line, and
Speaker 2: I think that the selling point was like it could
Speaker 2: be shipped to your house in like five seconds or something.
Speaker 3: What really making this up?
Speaker 1: I thought the whole thing was like it was like
Speaker 1: non toxic, Like that was this she her? She got
Speaker 1: in very early at the beginning of like the focus
Speaker 1: on like the non toxic phase.
Speaker 3: That's it product. Yes, yeah, Okay, so I think I'm
Speaker 3: making up the other party because you're not. I'm on
Speaker 3: a roll.
Speaker 2: No, because let's talk about Okay, let me tell you
Speaker 2: really what this happened. Okay, I had children blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, the the mail services, Walmart, Target,
Speaker 2: all of them started like shipping ship to your house
Speaker 2: the same day.
Speaker 3: So so it helped mothers. Okay, when you.
Speaker 1: Had kids, Really, I don't after me right after me.
Speaker 1: I don't feel like I experienced that. I still had
Speaker 1: to like leave my house. Okay, it was after you too.
Speaker 3: Okay, but can we talk about Target because I'm mad
Speaker 3: at them? Oh yeah, sure, Okay.
Speaker 2: Somewhere along the lines of Memorial Day, this is we're
Speaker 2: passing Memorial Dad. At this point, they had the LBGT
Speaker 2: like rainbow display collection collection. I see a man on
Speaker 2: this some video he pulls Okay, it's a collection of
Speaker 2: like clothes and all that kind of stuff, but it
Speaker 2: was a rainbow that was part of the display. He
Speaker 2: pulls down the rainbow, he throws on the ground. This
Speaker 2: is in Target, and he stomps on it. What So
Speaker 2: people were doing stuff like that.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: And then instead of Target saying, hey, guys, y'all are
Speaker 2: banned from Target, they were like, we're taking the shit
Speaker 2: and put it in the store.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they pulled they I thought, they like completely took
Speaker 1: it down.
Speaker 2: Well after people started well, first they relocated it to
Speaker 2: the back of the store, which was disgusting, and then
Speaker 2: y'all decide to take it out the store because people
Speaker 2: don't know how to act. So we're just we're rewarding
Speaker 2: people when they don't when they act bad?
Speaker 3: Is that what we do? This? This country is so
Speaker 3: jacked up. It's insane. We are so jacked up.
Speaker 2: I mean, like, and how is it that an LBGT
Speaker 2: shirt or anything related to that community?
Speaker 3: How would that harm someone?
Speaker 1: Is forcing or or causing someone to have that type
Speaker 1: of reaction.
Speaker 3: There's there's it's not for you. Keep walking, keep walking?
Speaker 2: And but not only that, Like, how how does that
Speaker 2: Let's say I bought a rainbow shirt and put it on?
Speaker 3: How does that hurt you? How does that bother you?
Speaker 3: Why does it bother you?
Speaker 2: Why?
Speaker 3: I don't even understand it? Yeah, like, what is the
Speaker 3: reason behind that?
Speaker 2: It makes no sense. People are stupid. But you know,
Speaker 2: who was I'm not gonna say what the person looked like?
Speaker 3: Who was?
Speaker 2: It was very okay, fine, it was a trumper that
Speaker 2: because he had on a red hat. No he did not,
Speaker 2: but in my mind, he had on a red hat
Speaker 2: and it just gave me PTSD, but literally took the
Speaker 2: rainbow through on the ground and started kicking and stomping it.
Speaker 1: So there's a video of that, yes, Because I mean
Speaker 1: I just like read the stories where said they took
Speaker 1: the display down. I didn't know there was actual video
Speaker 1: of this.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 3: Wow, I don't even understand it.
Speaker 1: These people have lost their minds, ye'aple have lost their
Speaker 1: said marbles.
Speaker 3: I don't understand what upsets people.
Speaker 2: DeSantis were coming for you because you a whole another
Speaker 2: one because.
Speaker 3: He the whole listen. Let me tell you something.
Speaker 2: I didn't realize this was like such a big thing
Speaker 2: until like recently I started reading about it, about him
Speaker 2: talking about the whole drag queen shows we can't have
Speaker 2: anymore because kids are going to the drag queen show.
Speaker 2: Can I tell y'all about four years ago, because you
Speaker 2: know drag queen shows a lot of times sometimes they're brunches.
Speaker 2: I took my kids to a brunch. It was a
Speaker 2: regular brunch. I didn't know it was a drag bar.
Speaker 2: But like in the middle of like our appetizers, the
Speaker 2: music starts playing and the dragon queens start coming out,
Speaker 2: and I was like, holy shit.
Speaker 3: I wasn't prepared.
Speaker 2: But my kids were like not affected, right, they were
Speaker 2: not bothered.
Speaker 3: They didn't they didn't turn into drag queens.
Speaker 2: They turn into drag queens the next day. They were
Speaker 2: actually amused and happy. Right, they were entertained.
Speaker 3: The entertained.
Speaker 2: They were like trying to figure out how to do
Speaker 2: the splits because every drag queen was doing splits in
Speaker 2: front of us. Because I was like, Grace, you're gonna
Speaker 2: throw your back out, baby, don't try.
Speaker 1: To do split, you know, Santa, these people are insane.
Speaker 1: It's really it's really sad that, you know, I feel
Speaker 1: like our country we've come a long way, of course,
Speaker 1: because there's a lot more acceptance, a lot more education
Speaker 1: just of people of different races, sexual orientations, religions, all
Speaker 1: of that. But then you still have a strong number
Speaker 1: of people that are resistant to that, and ye are
Speaker 1: full of hate and they're gonna they feel that they
Speaker 1: just maybe are being outnumbered or or diminishing or something,
Speaker 1: and they're trying to hold on to their power, and it's.
Speaker 2: Just, well, we got to do better, we have to
Speaker 2: do better. Yeah, because when you do better, well, when
Speaker 2: you know better, supposedly you do better. But these people
Speaker 2: know better.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think that they're do they They probably
Speaker 1: don't because that's what they've been taught. That's what they
Speaker 1: learned from them, their mama, their hateful mama and daddy,
Speaker 1: but then their grandparents, and that's what they're being taught,
Speaker 1: and that's what's being handed.
Speaker 3: They don't.
Speaker 1: They don't know better.
Speaker 2: Okay, but the tells DeSantis yea of the world, he
Speaker 2: should know the Trumpers of the world. Y'all try to
Speaker 2: act like somebody in y'all family's not gay, right, You
Speaker 2: want me to believe that, right, that's not believable, right,
Speaker 2: So stop?
Speaker 3: Wait?
Speaker 1: Did you see Kelly and conways daughter is Yeah, why
Speaker 1: is she doing porn or something?
Speaker 3: Playboy? Playboy? You are lying.
Speaker 2: No, my kids didn't tell me that because my kids
Speaker 2: typically they were very much aware of everything that was
Speaker 2: going on with her, because her and her mother would
Speaker 2: have battles. Yeah, they would have like social media battles.
Speaker 2: So my kids were like very much they would tell
Speaker 2: me what's going on with it?
Speaker 1: Okay, she has Claudia Karmway has shared a photo of
Speaker 1: herself posing with her mother ahead of attending prom after
Speaker 1: making her debut as an online Playboy model. What. The

Speaker 2: because from what I understand, they sent.
Speaker 3: Her to a boarding school. Oh really, then.
Speaker 2: They sent her away because she was cutting up and
Speaker 2: Kelly and Cowery was like, look at here, you you
Speaker 2: cutting up? And and I think it caused all of
Speaker 2: the cut up that she was doing, cause well I
Speaker 2: don't want to say it caused, but Kelly Ann and
Speaker 2: her husband.
Speaker 3: Get a divorce, yeah they are, Yes, yep.
Speaker 2: And it's kind of like, you know, if my child
Speaker 2: stopped speaking to me because of my political views, because
Speaker 2: my political views.
Speaker 3: Are freaking horrible. Am I going to change my political views?
Speaker 2: Like you know, every adult has to like live your conviction,
Speaker 2: but like this isn't what you You don't tie yourself
Speaker 2: to somebody who is a racist.
Speaker 3: Kelly an Conway.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a bad career move for her, just
Speaker 1: I mean, it sacrificed her family.

Speaker 3: Of the white vin I'm sick of it. He did not.
Speaker 3: He didn't say that. No, I said it.
Speaker 1: He would appreciate, see, one would appreciate other colors. But
Speaker 1: like I have to if I gotta, like, if I
Speaker 1: have pink on my toes, then he wants pink on
Speaker 1: my hands.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's fine, what's wrong with that? That's fine? But like.
Speaker 1: Usually I keep well, my policy was chipped off everywhere.
Speaker 1: Usually I don't. I don't do my toes every time
Speaker 1: I do my hands.
Speaker 3: Okay, do you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 1: True? So like, okay, if I have pink one day,
Speaker 1: one time, and then the next time I go I

Speaker 6: And now let's let's let's keep it all the way real.
Speaker 6: A lot of us like to live with boundaries and
Speaker 6: peace and joy and balance. But there's a little sliver
Speaker 6: of shady in your soul that ain't quite God ain't
Speaker 6: quite work through yet.
Speaker 2: So that's me, I'm gonna telling me, and y'all are
Speaker 2: probably wondering why the three of us are doing this together.
Speaker 2: First of all, we all know that Michelle is used
Speaker 2: to being on stage with two very bad queen so
Speaker 2: she's allowing us.
Speaker 3: To be with her today. Thank you, mische.
Speaker 6: I am really excited to be with your beautiful, beautiful
Speaker 6: ladies today.
Speaker 2: Well, In typical reasonably shady fashion, we start off our
Speaker 2: podcast with our reasonably shady moment of the week.
Speaker 3: Who wants to go first? You go first, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: go first.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Okay, guys, it's been a week. First and foremost.
Speaker 2: For those of you all who don't know me, I
Speaker 2: have three beautiful daughters. When is eighteen. Her name's Grace.
Speaker 2: I have twins, Angela and the Door. I think their
Speaker 2: dad is here somewhere. I think the good reverend. Where's
Speaker 2: Pastor Bryan. I think we're gonna call him out. I
Speaker 2: think he's here somewhere anyway. Oh, somebody's pointing.
Speaker 3: Okay, anyway, not.
Speaker 2: That that's not Pastor Bryant, but he's he's on his
Speaker 2: way anyway. So this week the girls had a dance recital,
Speaker 2: and you know, they go to a nice Catholic school,
Speaker 2: nice and the dance recital was a tork of some sort.
Speaker 3: It was a Catholic school. It was it was like
Speaker 3: it was like a semi tork. It was like a.
Speaker 2: Uh and a butt roll. But that's it. We're gonna
Speaker 2: keep it cool. However, Grace always says that the twins
Speaker 2: dance and they get it from their mama. So I'm
Speaker 2: always like, why y'all throwing shade on me? Because I
Speaker 2: do remember Michelle, the person that taught me how to twork.
Speaker 6: Don't you do it over here? I mean, I don't
Speaker 6: know how to work, and I admit that a little bit.
Speaker 2: Okay, So some years I met Michelle, very long time ago,
Speaker 2: and we were going she came to I was married
Speaker 2: to pastor. She came to the church. We were going
Speaker 2: to dinner and I told Michelle, I don't know how
Speaker 2: to twork. And she said, Giselle, I know how to twork,
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna show you how to t work.
Speaker 3: I did you did? Oh my god? What I do?
Speaker 6: It's in your ankles, right on your knees. Where's that?
Speaker 3: She said?
Speaker 2: She said, drop it down? Where's the power at? And
Speaker 2: then do a little something like this.
Speaker 6: But it's in your ankles, right, is that right? Don't
Speaker 6: be shamed.
Speaker 3: Do you approve ankle?
Speaker 6: She said, that's not a twerk?
Speaker 3: Do you approve of that?
Speaker 6: I don't. I don't approve.
Speaker 2: So that is the trk that my children do. I
Speaker 2: learned it from Michelle, thank.
Speaker 3: You very much.
Speaker 6: But that's your twerking is where she said it it's
Speaker 6: in your knees, but something else shape.
Speaker 3: It's in your knees, I think. So I was in
Speaker 3: the ankles.
Speaker 6: The ankles, okay, ankles.
Speaker 2: So what the ankle's gotta do with What the ankle's
Speaker 2: gotta do with the torque? Okay, you're losing them up anyway.
Speaker 1: Pray for my children because they have no rhythm and
Speaker 1: you're blaming it on Michelle Williams. Okay, that's a good one. Okay,
Speaker 1: So y'all, I'm gonna keep mind really quick. So flying
Speaker 1: down here yesterday, I'm on the plane. You know, you
Speaker 1: put your phone in airplane mode and you're on your
Speaker 1: phone browsing the internet, Instagram, whatever, and my phone rings.
Speaker 3: I'm actually in thirty thousand feet in.
Speaker 1: The air, and my phone rings, and it's it's a cousin,
Speaker 1: And so I'm like, what do I do? Let me
Speaker 1: answer the answer the phone in cases in important. So
Speaker 1: I literally answered the phone while the flight attendant is
Speaker 1: serving drinks right in front of me, and she turned
Speaker 1: to me and was like, I know you ain't just
Speaker 1: answered the phone. We thirty thousand feet in the air.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh shit, let me hang out because
Speaker 1: I did not want to be like that man yelling
Speaker 1: about a baby, yelling and.
Speaker 2: Screaming and crying about a baby crying. I said, okay,
Speaker 2: let me hang up really quickly. Yes, but I was
Speaker 2: the shady one for answering an actual phone call on
Speaker 2: the airplane.
Speaker 3: I was just so shocked that it came through. But
Speaker 3: was it worth it?
Speaker 2: Was it?
Speaker 1: Whatever, your cousin, It wasn't worth it. It wasn't worth it.
Speaker 1: And thank god they didn't land the plane and kick
Speaker 1: me off. And I said, let me hurry up and
Speaker 1: get off this phone. But the fact, and I was
Speaker 1: traveling with my husband and he was like, I can't
Speaker 1: believe you answered the phone in front of the flight attendant.
Speaker 3: Like who does that?
Speaker 2: So I was the shady one answering the phone in
Speaker 2: front of a flight attendant.
Speaker 3: Michelle, you have a shady moment.
Speaker 6: I'm trying to think of a shady moment. I kind
Speaker 6: of live a boring life, believe it or not, really
Speaker 6: nothing to report in my neck of the woods.
Speaker 1: Come back to So, okay, if you don't have a
Speaker 1: shady moment, since you are, you know you all about
Speaker 1: mental health and checking in. Do you have something to
Speaker 1: share just to help people mentally ground themselves or mental health.
Speaker 6: So if I could ask, I know we are recording
Speaker 6: and we wanted just to teach quieter so that people
Speaker 6: who are actually listening to us up here can hear us.
Speaker 6: And someone asked me, how do you know when you
Speaker 6: are honoring your boundaries? Does anybody know what boundaries are?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 6: So boundaries could be like literally a demarcation in the
Speaker 6: sand where you do not cross this line. And literally
Speaker 6: on my page this week, someone said, how do you
Speaker 6: know that you've honored your boundaries? So I said, imagine
Speaker 6: you say, I'm gonna go to the family reunion this year,
Speaker 6: But if ain't he so and so say something a
Speaker 6: little shady, I'm out. That's the boundary that you've made,
Speaker 6: because ain't he so and so? Or uncle so and
Speaker 6: so always finds a way to be disrespectful because maybe
Speaker 6: you've upped your game in life, You've improved in areas
Speaker 6: of your life, and they haven't. So you know the
Speaker 6: saying when people in your family say you changed, right, well,
Speaker 6: just say I have. I've changed. You haven't. And that's
Speaker 6: where the problem is. It's with you and now with me.
Speaker 6: Now the boundary is, how do you know you've honored
Speaker 6: your boundary is when you literally do what you said
Speaker 6: you were gonna do. You don't go back and forth
Speaker 6: with the person. Does anybody know what okay means? I've
Speaker 6: mastered the ministry of.
Speaker 3: Okay, right, okay, okay, and you leave.
Speaker 6: That's how you know you are honoring your boundaries.
Speaker 3: That's yes.
Speaker 2: But actually Robin and I actually practiced that on a
Speaker 2: show call The Real Housewives of Potomac.
Speaker 3: Yes, indeed, we just sit there.
Speaker 2: We sit there and say, okay, okay, okay, look, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna give y'all a little a little team we are, well,
Speaker 2: we might be doing a little something right now, and
Speaker 2: I have to ask her to honor my boundaries. But
Speaker 2: that is something when you are real friends that you
Speaker 2: can do and you don't have to fall out, you
Speaker 2: don't have to argue. But at some point you can
Speaker 2: say to your friends, no, yeah, that's enough, we're good.
Speaker 3: And we're moving on. So you'll see that.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, all right, well we are gonna move on
Speaker 2: because it is now time for our reasonably shady Oh no, no,
Speaker 2: it's our hot topics that it is now time for
Speaker 2: our recent topics. It is now time for our Robin
Speaker 2: always gets me together. Okay, it is time for our
Speaker 2: hot topics. Okay, before we get into it, I want
Speaker 2: to tell the crowd to it.
Speaker 3: She into it.
Speaker 1: Before we get into it, I'd want to let y'all
Speaker 1: know that we're going to be allowing people to ask
Speaker 1: questions at the end of this show. So if you
Speaker 1: have a question, keep you know, think of something, and
Speaker 1: when we get to that at the end, just raise
Speaker 1: your hand.
Speaker 3: So I just want to prepare y'all for that. Yep.
Speaker 2: Okay, So right off the bat, we gotta check in
Speaker 2: with y'all. I'm looking at the crowd. I'm seeing the
Speaker 2: age range. Who is concerned about Hulu and the new
Speaker 2: Freaknick documentary.
Speaker 1: Who's gonna be on it? How many are gonna be
Speaker 1: on the Freaknick documentary?
Speaker 3: Raise your hand if you're gonna be on If you're nervous?
Speaker 3: How many of you raise your hands?
Speaker 6: If you're gonna be nervous that you might be in
Speaker 6: the Freaknik documentary?
Speaker 1: Are you? Are you nervous that you're gonna see your
Speaker 1: mother on the freak Nick documentary?
Speaker 3: On your Auntiam who was conceived.
Speaker 1: Possibly during that moment, he is jumping up and down.
Speaker 1: He said, I know, yes, he is froning center on
Speaker 1: the Freaknick documentary.
Speaker 2: So I mean, it's it's it's it's funny when we
Speaker 2: get together and we we're on one accord. We are
Speaker 2: on one accord that we want Freaknick documentary shut down.
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, are you gonna be on there? You
Speaker 2: think you're gonna be on there? That might be in
Speaker 2: a documentary wants shut down. Jaseelle wantsn't shut down.
Speaker 3: I want to see it because we desist right now.
Speaker 1: I want to see it. I'm at my popcorn watch
Speaker 1: and see who I see because I think what year
Speaker 1: didn't stop?
Speaker 2: I don't know what year stopped, But there was a
Speaker 2: freak Nick Philly. There's a freak Nick in Atlanta. There's
Speaker 2: a freak Nick. But the Atlanta one is like, yes,
Speaker 2: the top tier one, that's the one. This was before
Speaker 2: such a problem holder than you, just before your time.
Speaker 6: I mean, I was in I graduated high school in
Speaker 6: ninety seven, so could I have been a part?
Speaker 3: So we're like the same. I didn't go to Freak Nick.
Speaker 6: I was at vacation Bible School, so.
Speaker 3: I might have been there.
Speaker 1: I think Miami turns into the new Freaknick. So I say,
Speaker 1: we're going to see Jazi. Everybody keep your eyes open
Speaker 1: for Jisel in the new freaking in the.
Speaker 3: New and she has not changed.
Speaker 2: She's gonna look she looks the same, so she can't
Speaker 2: And I wasn't doing anything that I don't do on
Speaker 2: the Real Housewives of Potomac.
Speaker 3: There we go that.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, We're very excited about Damar Hamlin.
Speaker 3: Yes, he is now reinstated.
Speaker 1: Is even so Damar Hamlin has been clear to play
Speaker 1: football again, to start working out, and that is such
Speaker 1: a blessing that he has come through that. But I
Speaker 1: know there are people who feel there are contradicting like
Speaker 1: feelings about it. Some people are excited for him, but
Speaker 1: some people just think he should not be long. She
Speaker 1: should not be on a football field again.
Speaker 3: Oh I didn't know that. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Oh so some some of you guys feel that he
Speaker 2: shouldn't play ever again because he might get hurt.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think they think he went through a
Speaker 1: very traumatic experience and you know, like who knows if
Speaker 1: his body is ready to take on that that physicality
Speaker 1: of the game of football, right, I.
Speaker 6: Mean, he's medically cleared, which we know will will be okay,
Speaker 6: which is fine. Did they find the root cause of
Speaker 6: what of what happened to me in the first place.
Speaker 6: But someone like DeMar Hamlin is probably feeling like he's
Speaker 6: too young yet to sit on the sideline, So he's
Speaker 6: gonna take the risk to do something where he's worked
Speaker 6: years and years to get to that point to be
Speaker 6: on the NFL field.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I know the incident was like a
Speaker 1: fluke incident. They say it was like the hit hit
Speaker 1: his chest at the same time of like a certain
Speaker 1: I don't know, cardiac rhythmic whatever, I don't know the terminology,
Speaker 1: but it was like a very small chance that that
Speaker 1: would happen to.
Speaker 3: Me if it was your son.
Speaker 6: Yeah, ladies, man, if it was your son, yes, would
Speaker 6: you want him to play again?
Speaker 2: And Robin has two sons that are of football playing age,
Speaker 2: how do you feel?
Speaker 1: So, I know, an athlete like Damar Hamlin, he this
Speaker 1: is what he loves, this is what he knows, this
Speaker 1: is his life, and so to take that game away
Speaker 1: from him like that is probably more damaging to his
Speaker 1: mental health than to his physical health. And so for me,
Speaker 1: if that's something that he knows and loves, that's what he.
Speaker 3: Eats and breathes and lives.
Speaker 1: And he's been medically clear to play, then I want
Speaker 1: him to do that as long as the doctors around
Speaker 1: him say that he can do it.
Speaker 3: Okay, And how does Wan feel about this? The same way? Okay?
Speaker 1: Walk?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, we love one. But we're really happy Wan
Speaker 3: Dixon is not here right now? Is that the same?
Speaker 3: It might be here, y'all, it might be here.
Speaker 2: He yes, we absolutely love one. Now, how many of
Speaker 2: y'all on the Twitter? Are y'all on Twitter?
Speaker 3: Of course?
Speaker 2: Now y'all gonna pay for y'all blue check? Who paid
Speaker 2: for a blue paid for a blue check? It's only
Speaker 2: eleven dollars a month, y'all. You paid for yours?
Speaker 3: You did? She paid for? Who else paid for a
Speaker 3: blue check? Okay?
Speaker 6: Now now, but I think the new verified is not
Speaker 6: to be verified. Everybody's gonna PuO a point those of
Speaker 6: us who were verified. My blue check was taken away
Speaker 6: minus like, well all right, well right.
Speaker 1: Well, I just so I did a little research because
Speaker 1: I don't go on Twitter, but I went on Twitter
Speaker 1: and I saw that my blue check is gone. Yes,
Speaker 1: so I just deactivated my account. I'm like, I don't
Speaker 1: need any but can I go on there?
Speaker 6: But can someone do a new account in your name
Speaker 6: and likeness?
Speaker 3: Sure?
Speaker 1: I mean, at this point, if you're gonna be paying
Speaker 1: for blue if people can pay for blue checks, they
Speaker 1: can do whatever.
Speaker 3: Well, so I deactivated my account. I did see that.
Speaker 2: At first the blue check costs like one hundred and
Speaker 2: twenty two dollars a year, and then it went on
Speaker 2: sale because nobody's buying it, it's like one hundred and fourteen,
Speaker 2: So it's now one fourteen or wait until it goes
Speaker 2: down to zero.
Speaker 1: So wait, I'm gonna tell you there was somebody did
Speaker 1: a little research on who from the real house as
Speaker 1: a Potomac has a blue check?
Speaker 3: Oh? Oh, who paid for that blue check? Y'all? Who
Speaker 3: do y'all think paid for that blue check? Can't? She said? Karen?
Speaker 1: Who? Karen?
Speaker 3: Who else? Candace? Who else? So I'm gonna tell you
Speaker 3: Mia and Karen have blue checks, y'all.
Speaker 1: They paid there one hundred and fourteen dollars to make
Speaker 1: sure that they were verified.
Speaker 6: Oh, it's fourteen dollars a month.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, it's eleven dollars a month and one
Speaker 1: hundred and fourteen dollars a year, So you can either
Speaker 1: pay for the year or you could pay eleven dollars
Speaker 1: a month.
Speaker 3: I paid zero and I deactivated my account.
Speaker 2: And I'm waiting for it to go down to zero. Now,
Speaker 2: who is voting for Afroman in the next election? Do
Speaker 2: y'all know who afromans?
Speaker 3: Y'all do? Okay?
Speaker 1: Who?
Speaker 3: Business? I got high? Both Afroman? Okay? I need we
Speaker 3: need more information about Afroman.
Speaker 1: So Afroman is running for president in the twenty twenty
Speaker 1: four election as an independent, and he has proclaimed himself
Speaker 1: to be the next cannabis Commander in chief can't yes?
Speaker 3: And the pothead of States? Yes, now now for all
Speaker 3: of y'all.
Speaker 1: Clearly, his platform is about legalizing marijuana everywhere but already legal.
Speaker 1: So who is voting for Afroman? Just based on at
Speaker 1: a large it's okay? Okay, Afroman has some momentum.
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 6: Are you still recovering from four twenty?
Speaker 3: Dogs is running? Mate, She's still she's celebrating four twenty.
Speaker 6: She's still recovering from four twenty.
Speaker 3: Every day is four twenty. Every day, it's every day
Speaker 3: it's four twenty. Do y'all agree with that? I think
Speaker 3: that I think we should give afro man a shot.
Speaker 2: We should allow him to to go and do all
Speaker 2: the debate a campaign and listen and see if he
Speaker 2: talks about anything other than we But what all right?
Speaker 1: But what does a United States of America led by
Speaker 1: President Afroman look like?
Speaker 7: Like?
Speaker 2: We don't know, Robin, nobody will be able to see
Speaker 2: we'll all being about.
Speaker 1: No, we do know. Everybody'll be calm. Everyone's gonna relax.
Speaker 6: They their body so everybody will remove the inflammation.
Speaker 1: Okay, Yes, are we going to get anything done like
Speaker 1: what happens when Russia comes to bomb us? Yes?
Speaker 3: Are we going to be ready or are we going
Speaker 3: to be a little delayed?
Speaker 7: What?
Speaker 3: What are we going to do? I don't know?
Speaker 1: Okay, So so if you're not interested in voting for Afroman,
Speaker 1: you can also for Robert F.
Speaker 3: Kennedy Junior. He's running as well. So we got options, y'all.
Speaker 2: Now, I know, Michelle, you had a hot topic about
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, it was so much going on. She's
Speaker 2: a dear heart to me, Chloe Bailey.
Speaker 6: No, no, Chloe, She's gonna be a concert like literally
Speaker 6: tomorrow here in Atlanta. And there was so much talk
Speaker 6: about everybody was mad or there was rumblings about people
Speaker 6: mad at Beyonce for not supporting Chloe's album, and so
Speaker 6: it's kind of too sordid here because Beyonce promoted it,
Speaker 6: everybody would be like, that's unfair.
Speaker 3: You got her.
Speaker 6: Promoting, and then you feel like she didn't do enough.
Speaker 6: She's on her label. That's enough promotion, that is enough support.
Speaker 6: So Chloe's been doing her thing. She's been doing her
Speaker 6: thing and every and as she said, she said, you know,
Speaker 6: people know her music. She's on a sold out tour.
Speaker 6: So I just had to throw that out there, like,
Speaker 6: why was that such a big deal about who's who
Speaker 6: was supporting who? I think it was just because it
Speaker 6: was beyond of course, y'all.
Speaker 3: Gonna leave alone, leave her alone, Let's see.
Speaker 1: I got I gotta play the devil's advocate though, Oh Robin,
Speaker 1: I mean, why why wouldn't she support her?
Speaker 3: She didn't?
Speaker 6: Who said she didn't support?
Speaker 3: Well? Right, so I did she do?
Speaker 6: We know who said she did not support? She's very
Speaker 6: she's very involved in helping people creatively. Now Chloy can write,
Speaker 6: she makes her own beats herself. Now, did she help
Speaker 6: like kind of maybe finesse some things visually? Absolutely, but
Speaker 6: does she need to be on her Instagram? No, No,
Speaker 6: because y'all would have something. Not y'all, because we're family.
Speaker 6: We cousins are the fun that ain't related to us
Speaker 6: in this room would have had something to say because
Speaker 6: they didn't do it in here that And a part.
Speaker 3: Of me feels like.
Speaker 2: If she did continuously support and support and support, people
Speaker 2: will then say Chloe is not where she is on
Speaker 2: her own, and it would be all because Beyonce is
Speaker 2: supporting and Beyonce is pushing. No, Chloe is where she
Speaker 2: is on her own and we have to support that.
Speaker 2: And beyond, Beyonce is busy. She's raising her kids, She's
Speaker 2: working on a world tour.
Speaker 3: She is busy.
Speaker 1: Okay, So why didn't y'all support? Why didn't y'all Why
Speaker 1: didn't y'all support the album.
Speaker 3: She got?
Speaker 6: She She says she watched the movie. She does have
Speaker 6: a sold out tour, and I think sometimes sometimes seeing
Speaker 6: stuff live in person helps a person say I gotta
Speaker 6: cop that album. So you're obviously a fan of hers.
Speaker 6: If her tour is sold out, her very first one
Speaker 6: is sold out. Boom saying you make more money on
Speaker 6: tours and merch than album sales anyway.
Speaker 3: Listen to that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so the Twitter will feed the album and I
Speaker 1: guess we just didn't really know about it, and'st it
Speaker 1: just fine?
Speaker 6: She's gonna be just fine. Every artist doesn't go platinum
Speaker 6: their first album out.
Speaker 3: She's going to be just fine, right, And as I
Speaker 3: think about it, Beyonce doesn't.
Speaker 1: She doesn't promote anybody else on her on her platforms,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, most of her pages just
Speaker 1: her beautiful, artistic looking fashion pictures, and so it would
Speaker 1: be out of her. It wouldn't be something that she
Speaker 1: ordinarily does. And so I think for her it's probably
Speaker 1: all or nothing. It's probably like I'm not going to
Speaker 1: promote anything so that individuals can't be upset that I didn't. Yes,
Speaker 1: you know, it's not like she promoted her individually and
Speaker 1: solo wise.
Speaker 6: Destiny's Child put in the work. There was no there
Speaker 6: was nobody really indoors seeing and putting us on Destiny's
Speaker 6: Child word for everything, which I think equates to the
Speaker 6: to the longevity of the group and us being able
Speaker 6: to me being able to be up here solo wise
Speaker 6: with y'all so hard work does that. Yes, he's gonna
Speaker 6: She's gonna be foul. Hard work keeps us here absolutely
Speaker 6: all right, we.
Speaker 2: Gotta be up to our next segment. Is it reasonable
Speaker 2: or is it shade? If anybody out here has a
Speaker 2: reasonably shady situation that they want to discuss, start thinking
Speaker 2: about it, and if we have time, we'll do it.
Speaker 1: Sorry, but first, so, if there's something you want us
Speaker 1: to weigh in on, like say you have an argument
Speaker 1: between you and your mom, or your you know, your neighbors,
Speaker 1: or something you want to get our opinions, think about
Speaker 1: it and raise your hand when we give you the
Speaker 1: opportunity to raise your hand.
Speaker 3: So this is Asia.
Speaker 2: Asia is a faithful Hey girl, faithful reasonably shakester.
Speaker 3: Yes, Yes, Asia, Where are you from? Asia? I'm from Connecticut.
Speaker 1: So Asia lives in Connecticut. She came to our live
Speaker 1: show in New York. I traveled alone, and she tried
Speaker 1: us to Atlanta to be here for us. So she is.
Speaker 3: Give it up for Asia.
Speaker 1: We appreciate her so much she and she's been a
Speaker 1: faithful listener and supporter of the podcast. So Asia has
Speaker 1: a reasonable or is this reasonable.
Speaker 3: Or shady scenario to ask us. Yeah, and y'all got
Speaker 3: away in So y'all listen.
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, So I was in a breakroom and my coworker,
Speaker 2: she was like complaining. She's like, I have kids, eggs
Speaker 2: are expensive. So I'm I'm agreeing with her. I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 2: it is, you know, gas is out of control, of
Speaker 2: rents out of control. She turns to me and goes,
Speaker 2: you don't have any kids and you still live at home,
Speaker 2: so what are you complaining about. I'm like, I have
Speaker 2: a cardinal, I have car insurance. Everything else being a
Speaker 2: girl's just expensive. So is that reasonable or is it shady?
Speaker 3: Okay, so did y'all hear what she said?
Speaker 2: She's saying she was talking to her girlfriend no co
Speaker 2: world over, talking to her worker, and she was talking
Speaker 2: about how expensive things are out here in these streets.
Speaker 2: And her coworker was like, but you live with your mama,
Speaker 2: you don't have kids, and you don't have no kids
Speaker 2: and what else she said?
Speaker 3: And that was it? And is that reasonable or is
Speaker 3: that shady?
Speaker 1: Reasonable? So, if you all right, raise your hand if
Speaker 1: you think that's a reasonable statement for her.
Speaker 6: To make, because she feels like you got extra money
Speaker 6: laying around because you don't have kids, so she didn't book.
Speaker 1: Now, raise your hand if that's a shady statement for
Speaker 1: her coworking.
Speaker 3: Now, okay, that is yes, so all the way live shady.
Speaker 1: I agree, right, that is all the way shady because
Speaker 1: nobody should be counting anybody's coins, their coins, their bills,
Speaker 1: their scenario.
Speaker 3: They don't know. Asia could be trying to say, gave
Speaker 3: up for a house.
Speaker 1: She could be she could be planning for children, and
Speaker 1: so she's feeling the same effects that we're all a
Speaker 1: feeling feeling in relation to how.
Speaker 6: Or she's saving up. Because Netflix keep going up, everybody
Speaker 6: keep going up in their prices, so you keep your coins, yes.
Speaker 1: Period, Right, So don't much, don't let her make you
Speaker 1: feel like, don't let her minimize your issues or what
Speaker 1: you're going through because you don't have children, or because
Speaker 1: you live at home with yourself. You know everything that
Speaker 1: you go through matters, and just because it may not
Speaker 1: seem as big to somebody else, that doesn't mean it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter to you.
Speaker 3: Right, thank you lady, But.
Speaker 6: Future y'all giving up. She drove all the way from
Speaker 6: Cannadi with her fresh silt Press come.

Speaker 1: If you came from another state, if you don't live here, wow,
Speaker 1: my gosh.
Speaker 2: If you came from out the country. Who came from
Speaker 2: out the country? Who's I can't hear?

Speaker 3: the house? Okay, be more silver spring? Yes, Arkansas wants
Speaker 3: some love. Chack, give Arkansas some love? All right?
Speaker 1: All right, Michelle, you have you have any reasonably shared
Speaker 1: this question?
Speaker 3: I can answer this too.
Speaker 6: Is it reasonable or shady if you brought a bottle
Speaker 6: to an event to take it back at the end
Speaker 6: at the event if it wasn't open?
Speaker 3: Okay, who says it's reasonable? R Raise your head? It's reasonable?
Speaker 3: Rache add it's reasonable. Okay, all right, hold on, y'all,
Speaker 3: hold on, ye raise your head? It it shady? Rick? Wait?
Speaker 1: Wait, I didn't see all right, So this is like
Speaker 1: it's fifty to fifty who says reasonable?
Speaker 7: Who?
Speaker 6: Okay, it depends, let me tell you who. Can I
Speaker 6: tell you why it depends.
Speaker 3: It's a whole lot of things that it depends on.
Speaker 3: Who has done this before.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna tell you why it depends. If it was
Speaker 6: a potluck and everybody brings their own stuff, and then
Speaker 6: and then you take it back. But if I got
Speaker 6: a nice dinner, then I prepared for you, and the
Speaker 6: ship prepared for you, and you didn't pay for nothing,
Speaker 6: and I invite you over and you bring a bottle,
Speaker 6: it belongs to me?
Speaker 3: Okay, you got that right? Yes, Okay.
Speaker 2: I also think it depends on is it an expensive
Speaker 2: bottle champagne?
Speaker 3: Or did you get it from the five and dime?
Speaker 3: Like what shelf this bottle from? So it depends. It depends.
Speaker 6: There are certain red wines that I like from publics
Speaker 6: that are really really really good, right, and then there
Speaker 6: are some that should not come from publics that are
Speaker 6: more expensive.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 1: So I actually was faced with this dilemma one day.
Speaker 1: My girlfriends and I was probably about eight of us.
Speaker 1: We had a dinner party at my girlfriend's house and
Speaker 1: if I can remember correctly, we all like chipped in
Speaker 1: for the dinner, but the girlfriend that was hosting it
Speaker 1: told everyone to bring a bottle, So I brought a
Speaker 1: bottle of Tito's. I brought a large bottle of Tito's
Speaker 1: vacuum glue. 'reing the pandemic, and y'all know how expensive
Speaker 1: liquor was during the pandemic. So we go there and
Speaker 1: there was already a bottle of Tito's that was opened,
Speaker 1: so we were we were drinking on that Tito's bottle. Okay,
Speaker 1: so wait a minute. So at the end of the night,
Speaker 1: at the end of the night, my bottle was unopened,
Speaker 1: and and as I was about to leave. As I
Speaker 1: was about to leave, I'm like walking towards the bottle
Speaker 1: to grab it to take it home. And my girlfriend
Speaker 1: was like, oh, girl, thanks for the bottle. I love Tito's.
Speaker 1: It's my favorite. And I was like, oh, you're welcome,
Speaker 1: and I went and I left.
Speaker 3: And I went home.
Speaker 1: So and just to give y'all, I wanted my bottle back,
Speaker 1: but I was just like, okay, So she was, but
Speaker 1: that was nice of you rapping for it, but she
Speaker 1: should have given it back to me.
Speaker 3: No, Robin, you bought it to her house.
Speaker 7: No.
Speaker 1: I think if that was me, if it was my
Speaker 1: house and everyone chipped in and her and the bottle
Speaker 1: was unopened, I would be like, oh.
Speaker 2: Girl, we don't open your bottle. You want to take
Speaker 2: it back? I think it depends. No, it depends on
Speaker 2: how close you are with the person. Like, if it's
Speaker 2: my sister, I'm taking a bottle back. If it's people
Speaker 2: I don't really know that, well, I'm gonna let it.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna let you have it.
Speaker 3: The bottle expensive. This is real quick, it's real quick.
Speaker 3: This is a little tea.
Speaker 2: So you know how if you watch housewives, any housewives,
Speaker 2: if you watch our show in particular, when we go
Speaker 2: to each other's house, typically we bring a bottle of something.
Speaker 2: Karen always says, give me my bottle back. After we're
Speaker 2: done filming. She's done that to me three times. She's like,
Speaker 2: give me my bottle back.
Speaker 1: So we do.
Speaker 3: It's a joke. It's a running joke.
Speaker 1: But anyways, like recycling bottles, it's like she brings it
Speaker 1: to one event.
Speaker 6: And I mean, we don't want to belabor the topic,
Speaker 6: but if you invite me to your home for a
Speaker 6: nice dinner, and all I have to do is show up.
Speaker 6: The nice thing to do is you bring a bottle,
Speaker 6: so you present it as a gift. I don't want
Speaker 6: it back, Like I said, if it was like a
Speaker 6: pot look situation, you know how you take a little
Speaker 6: three bean potato salad back home that you made, and
Speaker 6: you take you a little RC or seven up bottle
Speaker 6: that you brought, you take your if it was a
Speaker 6: pot look type situation.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, all right, we got on one of my
Speaker 2: We gotta move on. But it is now time for
Speaker 2: you guys to ask us anything. And whoever is asking
Speaker 2: us something, you're gonna keep it.
Speaker 3: PG. Thirteen.

Speaker 1: my name is Deniseha. I'm from Charlotte, North Carolina.
Speaker 3: Oh can you hear me?
Speaker 1: Hey, y'all, I have a quick question for Jaselle. So
Speaker 1: I just finished Ultimate Girl's Trip. What was your reaction
Speaker 1: after you found out what really happened to your bottle?
Speaker 3: I'm so happy you're asking me that question.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna get For those of y'all who don't
Speaker 2: know what she's talking about. I was on a show
Speaker 2: called Ultimate Girl's trip. It was a bunch of different housewives,
Speaker 2: some different shows. It's on Peacock and I had a
Speaker 2: fit because someone took my bottle of tequila. Okay, so
Speaker 2: and all of y'all have DMed me your bottle and
Speaker 2: to say that y'all found it, which is so hilarious.
Speaker 2: At the end, the producers, the Salt Lake City Girls,
Speaker 2: we're joking that the bottle was in the shower, the
Speaker 2: outside shower.
Speaker 3: That was a joke. The Salt Lake Girls.
Speaker 2: Don't have it. Leah from New York had a bottle
Speaker 2: that she brought in her confessional and she was like, Oh,
Speaker 2: I got yourselves bottle. She's joking too. The truth is,
Speaker 2: we have no idea what a bottle is. But I
Speaker 2: know who has the bottle. Okay, I know who took
Speaker 2: the bottle. But the truth is we don't know does.
Speaker 3: The does the name? I know, does the name start
Speaker 3: with a sea? And starts with a sea? Okay? And
Speaker 3: it ends with the ass No, it ends with a yeah.
Speaker 3: All right, what's the next question? Guys?
Speaker 2: Hey, y'all, I'm Toya from Little Rock, Arkansas, the Arkansaw
Speaker 2: and the Building. I have a podcast called the Spiel Podcast.
Speaker 3: It's the ma.
Speaker 2: My question, Hey sorr Jisellah, excuse my question is for
Speaker 2: the beautiful Michelle Williams. I absolutely love your podcast. I
Speaker 2: have a segment on my podcast called Mutual Chicken to
Speaker 2: where my spillers, my peers, whom ever is on my
Speaker 2: show have to do a mental check in. When you
Speaker 2: are doing that or just coming up with your podcast,
Speaker 2: was it hard to be extremely vulnerable? I did counseling,
Speaker 2: I did therapy, and it's something that I feel like
Speaker 2: everybody should of course look into. But when you started
Speaker 2: your podcast to you know, just focus on that, was
Speaker 2: it challenging Because I'm like shy, but I'm talkative, but
Speaker 2: I don't like being vulnerable.
Speaker 6: But I'm super vulnerable and sometimes to a fall.
Speaker 3: So how do you handle the.
Speaker 6: Ups and down the bat? Thank you for asking and
Speaker 6: congratulations on your podcast. Amazing. So I've learned on my
Speaker 6: mental health journey. We all have mental health, but everybody
Speaker 6: does not have mental illness. So let's know the two
Speaker 6: mental health is like your cardiovascular health reproductive hell, we
Speaker 6: all have that, right. So what I learned on my
Speaker 6: journey is there is a difference. I think I spoke
Speaker 6: to you all about the difference between being transparent and
Speaker 6: being vulnerable. I'm an open book. I can be transparent,
Speaker 6: but vulnerable is when you in that transparent moment is
Speaker 6: when you say how something feels, how it made you feel,
Speaker 6: and you allow yourself in that moment. If you're still
Speaker 6: angry or sad about that moment, you acknowledge it and
Speaker 6: you literally feel your feelings. So when I talked about,
Speaker 6: like one time my father passing away or a moment
Speaker 6: where something happened, I believe it was something maybe with
Speaker 6: police brutality. I allowed myself to cry on the podcast
Speaker 6: or to get choked up. That's me being vulnerable, then
Speaker 6: me just reading off my personal moment that I had
Speaker 6: this week. I think we all can be open books,
Speaker 6: but it's hard to be vulnerable and cry about something
Speaker 6: or be like, bro, it hurt my feelings when you
Speaker 6: said this, or when you talk to me this way.
Speaker 6: This is how it makes me feel. That's being vulnerable
Speaker 6: all right, then being just then instead of being just
Speaker 6: a transparent hot head.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love that. I'm like giving it a title.
Speaker 2: You hurt my feelings when you did X, as opposed
Speaker 2: to just yelling at the person or responding to the person.
Speaker 3: I like that, Mitchell, I'm gonna use that well.
Speaker 6: Well, when a person is yelling that, anger is a
Speaker 6: secondary emotion. So let's unpack that. I'm angry because I'm
Speaker 6: angry because I feel overlooked. I'm angry because I feel
Speaker 6: like you ignored me when I told you. I don't
Speaker 6: like when you do this, so if I gotta tell
Speaker 6: you again, I might blow up. Anger is what's come second.
Speaker 6: Being feeling out, feeling talked about, feeling betrayed, feeling abandoned.
Speaker 6: That's the first emotion. But when it festers, when it
Speaker 6: seems unseen or unheard, that's when anger comes in.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I love that. And that's also that's.
Speaker 1: Also communication, you know, using your communication skills.
Speaker 3: It's hard to communicate those feelings sometimes.
Speaker 6: Why is this so hard to communicate being vulnerable? But
Speaker 6: we can communicate the anger, right, that's true.
Speaker 3: We all working on that. We work in progress. Yes, indeed,
Speaker 3: I know. I am all right. We got another question
Speaker 3: two minutes left. Y'all.
Speaker 1: Hi, my name is Leah. I live in Orlando. I
Speaker 1: have a podcast called Adoptees Crossing Lines. I'm a black
Speaker 1: adoptee and I host it with two other black adoptees,
Speaker 1: and we're pretty vulnerable on our show.
Speaker 3: My question is for you, Michelle.
Speaker 1: I'm wondering how you take care of yourself when you're,
Speaker 1: you know, talking about all these different things constantly and
Speaker 1: just sharing your life, sharing your story. How do you
Speaker 1: take care of yourself afterwards or in between shows?
Speaker 6: In between shows depending on the topic. If it's something
Speaker 6: I know I've already walked through and I've healed from,
Speaker 6: I can go eat a bag of chips afterwards. But
Speaker 6: when it's something that seems still a little fresh, there
Speaker 6: are little things that can calm the nervous system down.
Speaker 6: You gotta take a walk, go let some water, sit
Speaker 6: in the pool if you can. But just taking a
Speaker 6: walk and getting away and separating yourself from the situation
Speaker 6: or the topic is really the best thing. Because us,
Speaker 6: when we host podcasts, we have to research some heavy,
Speaker 6: heavy stuff, or you could be walking through something heavy,
Speaker 6: but you still gotta host a guest and beat upbeat.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I also say take a drive when we do reasonably shady,
Speaker 2: I do it at Robin. We do it at Robin's house,
Speaker 2: and I have to drive. Maybe it's about thirty five
Speaker 2: minutes away. So that drive home, I like decompress and
Speaker 2: get my mind right because when I hit the door
Speaker 2: with my kids, I gotta be I gotta be ready
Speaker 2: for that.
Speaker 3: Right for sure. Okay, we have time about one more questions.
Speaker 3: Let's get a learning question.
Speaker 6: Y'all, God bless you, Oh yes, it's God.
Speaker 7: I just want to say, each one of you ladies
Speaker 7: look like full rid scholarships to IVY League. HBCUs. Keep
Speaker 7: these ladies around the applause but looking so goddamn good.
Speaker 7: Thank you, And to end the questions, I just want
Speaker 7: to know is it reasonable or shady? It's Sunday, right,
Speaker 7: so I just want to know from Michelle when Jesus
Speaker 7: say what.
Speaker 3: I just want how to sing the reply.
Speaker 7: When Jesus say what, nobody can't say what?
