Speaker 1: feel good about life. Yes, have you been listening to Beyonce?
Speaker 1: I can't nobody break my soul. I just want everybody
Speaker 1: to know, not one person, not one person, is gonna
Speaker 1: break my damn soul. But you know, I was like, Beyonce,
Speaker 1: you're preaching to the quiet because this has been my
Speaker 1: mantra for a very long time. Of course, right, get
Speaker 1: with we know that, we know that. So yeah, let's
Speaker 1: go ahead and talk about Beyonce and break my soul. Okay,
Speaker 1: So Robin just hit her head on the wall, y'all.
Speaker 1: I don't know what's happening. I don't know what's happening. Yes,
Speaker 1: I was like, um, okay, maybe I'm not a part
Speaker 1: of the bee Hive because I heard the song, and
Speaker 1: I was like, man, man, man robbing. Okay, be Hi,
Speaker 1: this is robbing. This is not just saying this yes,
Speaker 1: And I was like, okay, I am officially not a
Speaker 1: part of the beehive. I love Beyonce as an artist,
Speaker 1: but I was just not like moved by that song. Okay,
Speaker 1: but but okay, Robin the whole house music, you're a
Speaker 1: Baltimore girl, and and that's the that's what makes this
Speaker 1: even worse. Like house music, club music. I love idium music,
Speaker 1: dance music, with all that stuff. And for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: I was like, man, I hate robbing right now, have
Speaker 1: come for her, Come for her. So like this morning,
Speaker 1: I was driving in the car and it was on
Speaker 1: and I was like, I'm gonna turn this all the
Speaker 1: way out, talking like really feeling, and I'm like, man,
Speaker 1: but you know what's gonna happen. I'm gonna like see
Speaker 1: the visuals for it, and I'm gonna be like, oh yes,
Speaker 1: because I know she's going to tear the visuals up.
Speaker 1: She is going to like bring this song to life.
Speaker 1: And I already is giving people life, like people instantly,
Speaker 1: We're like, okay, first of all, any funny how like
Speaker 1: on Instagram it was like every freaking post you roll
Speaker 1: pass was like, you can't break my son, No, you
Speaker 1: can't break. Next, you can't break. Okay, but do we
Speaker 1: think she's talking about jay Z No, No, she didn't.
Speaker 1: Talking about nobody. And that's the other thing she talking
Speaker 1: about news. I'm gonna quit my job and ship. No
Speaker 1: you're not. If you quit your job, you wouldn't be
Speaker 1: making this damn song in the first place. Well, I
Speaker 1: mean she she I felt like she was talking about management,
Speaker 1: the people that surround her that tell her what to do.
Speaker 1: She's just making up silly music that she knows is
Speaker 1: that the people are going to be like, yeah, I disagree,
Speaker 1: I disagree. I disagree. Literally is having people in these
Speaker 1: streets quit their job. She is. No, one's quitting their jobs.
Speaker 1: They told them to quit their jobs. They're quitting their job.
Speaker 1: We're moving on, We're moving on. I can't. I can't
Speaker 1: looking right now. So okay, like check back with me
Speaker 1: and like three weeks, three weeks, yes, when the rest
Speaker 1: of the whole project, like you know, she drops everything
Speaker 1: exactly Okay, but but I don't know why, Like her
Speaker 1: vocals didn't sound that great on the song Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: I disagree. I think she sounded amazing. I didn't. I
Speaker 1: don't think so. I was here for it. I think
Speaker 1: it's because it's beyonest. She gets a pass and then
Speaker 1: like why she could have passed and Drake doesn't like,
Speaker 1: Oh no, Drake sucks. Okay, can we talk about Drake.
Speaker 1: We're so going roll, but I do I do want
Speaker 1: to talk about format. I know, I do want to
Speaker 1: talk about Drake really quickly. Because Drake doesn't have friends.
Speaker 1: You know, he says, no new friends. He does not
Speaker 1: have any friends. Okay, because because he there was an
Speaker 1: Instagram viggio out there and that I saw, and he
Speaker 1: was in the club but his friends and he was
Speaker 1: dancing and it was the dumbest, whackest dance I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: It was it was a two fourth step, middle step, backstep.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but all his friends were pumping him
Speaker 1: up like yeah, Drake, yeah, Drake, you're doing it. You
Speaker 1: do know you're not doing it? You look goofy. Well
Speaker 1: what are they going to say? That's there, like meal
Speaker 1: t They're gonna say, stopped looking goofy. Yeah yeah, Robin,
Speaker 1: when I do my goofy dance, you tell me to
Speaker 1: stop because you're my friend, but I don't tell you
Speaker 1: stop all the time because you know you're goofy, right,
Speaker 1: and so like me, telling you to stop is a
Speaker 1: waste of my breath. And so maybe his maybe Drake's
Speaker 1: friends know that he knows that he's goofy right, and
Speaker 1: there's like no point in him in them telling him
Speaker 1: to stop, right right. Okay, Well, anyway, we're gonna get
Speaker 1: back to format right now, which is a reasonably shady
Speaker 1: moment of the week, okay, because we want to talk
Speaker 1: about Drake's music. Okay, Yeah, we're gonna get there, all right. Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm like on fire up again again, so fire Okay.
Speaker 1: So I finally got my other planter. So I have
Speaker 1: two planters in front of my house. They're beautiful. Thank you, wayfair.
Speaker 1: I thought you got it the last time I did,
Speaker 1: but I mean, okay, So I have flowers in the planters, okay,
Speaker 1: and so okay, so one of them, okay, both of
Speaker 1: the flowers that because I didn't water them, Okay, my fault.
Speaker 1: So I went back to the American plant store, I
Speaker 1: bought some more. I put it in. They were looking
Speaker 1: so beautiful for like two weeks, like amazing and I
Speaker 1: was watering them every other day. Their purple yes beautiful.
Speaker 1: That goddamn dear chewed them up last night. Let me
Speaker 1: tell you something. My ring kept going off, and I
Speaker 1: thought it was like a fox or something, because you know,
Speaker 1: the fox comes by my house like three o'clock in
Speaker 1: the morning every morning. Yeah, oh yeah, the foxes like
Speaker 1: all over my rain. So the ring was going on.
Speaker 1: Someone wasn't really paying attention. And then I look up
Speaker 1: this morning and that deer has eaten my Let me
Speaker 1: tell you something, So I take it you didn't put
Speaker 1: any like what we've hair, So no, I'm supposed to
Speaker 1: put hair, human hair, human hair. No, but I'm going
Speaker 1: today to get the spray, so I'm gonna spray all
Speaker 1: my flowers down, and and it says it's like a
Speaker 1: dear repellent. I wanted to be a dear killer because
Speaker 1: these deer got to stop. I don't care animal people.
Speaker 1: Come for me if you want to, but I want them.
Speaker 1: Deer's dead, okay, because my house was to get so beautiful.
Speaker 1: The deer again, y'all a shady But you're the shady
Speaker 1: one because you should have learned your lesson from the
Speaker 1: last time. So how are you going to be mad
Speaker 1: at the deer for doing something that you know, the
Speaker 1: dear de and that you should have been prepared for whatever.
Speaker 1: Completely forget about that. I did. But see what I
Speaker 1: was told was they don't come so close to the house.
Speaker 1: They're scared to come close to the house. So I
Speaker 1: thought these flowers were safe. They were not safe, and
Speaker 1: now they are in the deer's belly. This is a disaster. Okay,
Speaker 1: Jee's what happened to the first time. You know what, Rob,
Speaker 1: We're gonna move on. This is a sore subject. Okay.
Speaker 1: So Rob, what is your reasonably shading moment? Because I
Speaker 1: know you have one? Okay, So okay, So you know, um,
Speaker 1: I think I've probably told you this before. But like
Speaker 1: when Juan Antonio decides to contribute and clean up, he
Speaker 1: just like throws everything away. Yes, so he just throws
Speaker 1: everything away, right, so that that's his version of cleaning up.
Speaker 1: So if he's cleaning up his closet, he just gets
Speaker 1: rid of all the clothes. You know, I'm saying, he's
Speaker 1: cleaning out the garage, throwing out literally did I tell
Speaker 1: you how he we literally took well, he and the
Speaker 1: boys took probably like forty basketball's, football's, baseball, tennis, tennis,
Speaker 1: do tennis balls to the dumpster, just because that was
Speaker 1: his way of cleaning up. That's not cleaning up one,
Speaker 1: that's actually lazy a little bit, right exactly. So, um,
Speaker 1: so this time he decides to clean the refrigerator. Now,
Speaker 1: mind you, I had cleaned the refrigerator like the day before,
Speaker 1: like I got rid of like all the takeout food
Speaker 1: that was old, all the you know, lettuce and tomatoes
Speaker 1: and strawberries with mold on. God oh god, yes, because
Speaker 1: I don't feel like cutting them up and washing them anyway,
Speaker 1: like I'd already did that the day before. So but
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, he decides he's going to clean up,
Speaker 1: so clean the refrigerator. So I walk in um to
Speaker 1: the kitchen. I opened the refrigerator and I look at
Speaker 1: first of all, there's like my my kitchen, I mean,
Speaker 1: my refrigerator is like empty. But I look at the
Speaker 1: shelves on the door, like you know, you open the
Speaker 1: door and on the inside of the door, the bottom
Speaker 1: shelf has absolutely nothing on it, like nothing, like it's empty,
Speaker 1: empty like nothing, and so and where the day before
Speaker 1: they were like seven bottles of salad dressing. So he
Speaker 1: literally throws away salad, using that was bothering nobody because
Speaker 1: it was on the door, right, It's like it's it's
Speaker 1: not even that it was like a mess, you know,
Speaker 1: if it was like in the Frigera refrigerator and creating
Speaker 1: a mess, a whole bunch of junk, you can't fit anything. No,
Speaker 1: it's literally on the door, not bothering anybody. Throws away
Speaker 1: seven bottles seven salad jest and ain't hurt nobody, not
Speaker 1: a soul. And what was his reasoning? He said, Oh,
Speaker 1: they were expired. Nobody weren't. No, they weren't. Maybe one
Speaker 1: of them was like expired like in salad. And I
Speaker 1: told him that, I'm like, I don't care what the
Speaker 1: date is on it, like I could still it doesn't
Speaker 1: smell good. Did you do the taste test? Like it's
Speaker 1: still just a little put a little pinky and okay,
Speaker 1: that's still good. That tastes all right, right, Like did
Speaker 1: you do any of that? No, but the date said November.
Speaker 1: That's oh, And I said, okay, maybe like two of
Speaker 1: them said that, but I know there were at least
Speaker 1: two that were like brand spanking new, not opened. Yes,
Speaker 1: Wan Antonio you waste. You waste the money out here
Speaker 1: in the street, money and effort. It thought, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: gotta fear, Well, what salad dressing did I have? Which
Speaker 1: one did I like? Where did I get it from?
Speaker 1: And everything is expensive in the grocery store these days. Yes,
Speaker 1: salad dressing. It's not cheat exactly, especially if you buy
Speaker 1: the big bottles. Girl, Oh I know, yeah, okay, why
Speaker 1: are you wrong for that? So? Yes, anyway, okay, we're
Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna move on. We're gonna move on. So
Speaker 1: this is fourth of July. Happy fourth of July people, Yes, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: So fourth of July used to be very near and
Speaker 1: dear to me. Do you know why? Um? Nobody or not?
Speaker 1: That was what was that wrong? Was that sound effect?
Speaker 1: That was like me thinking, thinking really hard. Okay, I
Speaker 1: got married on the fourth of June, So it was
Speaker 1: my wedding anniversary that I cared about, you know when
Speaker 1: I was right? Yes, so it was. And when we
Speaker 1: got married, we actually got married in my Hawaii and
Speaker 1: so you have like fireworks and we have fireworks. Funny story,
Speaker 1: Magic Johnson was actually at my wedding by accident. Back then. Yes,
Speaker 1: it was a huge accident. He had no idea who
Speaker 1: I was, but he was there. Um and all of
Speaker 1: the guys at the resort, we're telling Jamal that you
Speaker 1: don't get married on the fourth of July because it's
Speaker 1: Independence Day and you're giving up your independence on the
Speaker 1: day you're supposed to celebrate independence. Well we see how
Speaker 1: that worked out, and he has all the independence in
Speaker 1: the world right now. That's funny, that's hilarious. But I
Speaker 1: do like the fourth of July. It made sense for
Speaker 1: us because our first kiss, right for whatever reason, it
Speaker 1: was on the fourth of July, and fireworks went off
Speaker 1: after we kissed. I don't know how this brother playing that,
Speaker 1: but it happened. I don't know. It was kiss smith?
Speaker 1: Is that what? Kiss smith? Is that a word? Yes? Sure, okay,
Speaker 1: it just worked anyway. So but now for the July
Speaker 1: is just like barbecues and let's get drunk. Turned us, yes,
Speaker 1: and I mean definitely. Well for me, like as a kid,
Speaker 1: it was always just like something to look forward to.
Speaker 1: It was fun. You go, you know, watch some fireworks
Speaker 1: or you know, hang on hang out. For me, it
Speaker 1: was hang out at the Inner Harbor, watch the fireworks,
Speaker 1: you know, be on somebody's boat that was docked at
Speaker 1: the harbor have a good old time. I can remember.
Speaker 1: I have this funny video. So Corey, my oldest son,
Speaker 1: is like a scaredy cat. So he was like, you know,
Speaker 1: scared of the dark, scared a lot of noises. So
Speaker 1: he was scared of fireworks. So we went one day
Speaker 1: and took There was fireworks going off at like Caytonsville
Speaker 1: High School maybe right, which is in Baltimore. So we
Speaker 1: wrapt my parents house like swimming for the day and
Speaker 1: then we're like, oh, let's go see the fireworks. Did
Speaker 1: you hear that? Robin? Robin was raised real bougie at
Speaker 1: my parents house swimming for the day because you know,
Speaker 1: her parents got a pull in the back, grew up
Speaker 1: with swimming fools. So we were at my parents house
Speaker 1: swimming and then we went, um, you know, I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: you want to see the fireworks and he's like, I'm scared,
Speaker 1: but okay, So we drive over there. We're just in
Speaker 1: the car. We're like, okay, we're just gonna drive over there.
Speaker 1: Went stay in the car okay, and um, I have
Speaker 1: the cutest little video because it was like it was
Speaker 1: like recording the audio as these were sitting along this
Speaker 1: side of things on rolling road and these fireworks are
Speaker 1: going off, and Corey is like, go gee, my mom
Speaker 1: was driving. Okay, so he was like go go, like
Speaker 1: he wanted her her drive to leave. Yes, yes, oh,
Speaker 1: poor Cory, Poor Cory. He was like, and we're dying laughing.
Speaker 1: He's like, he's like, drive the car and go gee.
Speaker 1: Is he still like that? He? I mean, he's a
Speaker 1: little bit better now. Okay, it's like fourteen, but he
Speaker 1: definitely is like he's like one of them, like you know,
Speaker 1: scared of the dark stairs and when there's no one
Speaker 1: down there, like he's he still has his little little phobias.
Speaker 1: But the video is the cutest thing. I have to
Speaker 1: Maybe I can send it to Taylor and he can
Speaker 1: and he can put it in. He can put it
Speaker 1: in and you can hear his cute little voice. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think he should, So Taylor, our producer, drop it,
Speaker 1: drop it in if you can. Yes, Corey, can you
Speaker 1: tell me what is scary about fireworks? God to go?
Speaker 1: Oh look at that going, Corey. I can't in front
Speaker 1: of these people. He wanted to come and see him
Speaker 1: in real life. And now he's tell him, I'll start
Speaker 1: the car. Oh he's a good Corey. Look you want
Speaker 1: you wanna watch him? Corey? I can't. What's gonna happen
Speaker 1: to you? Hory? So that's like my favorite memory of
Speaker 1: fourth of July. I just got to kick out of that, right. Okay,
Speaker 1: we're not gonna keep you all on the day because
Speaker 1: we know y'all have barbecues to partake in, but we
Speaker 1: do want to just talk about one quick thing because
Speaker 1: women across the country got their independence taken from them
Speaker 1: with this role versus wade overturning, and it is pathetic.
Speaker 1: It makes absolutely no sense. If you don't want an abortion,
Speaker 1: then don't get one, right. It's so infuriating. Yes, it's
Speaker 1: so infuriating to me. And I think about myself when
Speaker 1: I was seventeen, eighteen years older, freshman in college, I
Speaker 1: chose to have an abortion because I was a college student.
Speaker 1: I first of all, I was scared of my parents,
Speaker 1: Like that was my number one surprised Mom and Dad.
Speaker 1: If y'all listening, so want oh lord, oh lord, that
Speaker 1: you're telling them right now? This is the this is
Speaker 1: the confession, I guess. So, okay, maybe they I don't
Speaker 1: know the news. But but anyway, they didn't know it
Speaker 1: at the time. But like, I just think about if
Speaker 1: I did not have that choice, or if I was,
Speaker 1: you know, a college student and I'm scared, Like think about, okay,
Speaker 1: if I'm scared of my parents and what they're going
Speaker 1: to think, what they're gonna say, and I'm getting in trouble,
Speaker 1: like I could have done something very wrong or you know,
Speaker 1: like to hurt myself to not have to deal with
Speaker 1: the reality of, you know, what was happening, and so
Speaker 1: being able to have the option to do that, um
Speaker 1: also you know, worrying about you know, I'm in college.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to you know, get my degree, like you
Speaker 1: can absolutely like those that's those are very like just
Speaker 1: to not have been able to make that decision for
Speaker 1: myself would have been horrible, and but you were able to.
Speaker 1: And so imagine all of these ladies moving forward. It's like, look,
Speaker 1: they're not going to have the options that we did.
Speaker 1: All of these girls that were chanting and so excited
Speaker 1: when it was overturned, y'all gonna need some abortions. I'm
Speaker 1: here to tell y'all, y'all gonna need some abortions, Okay,
Speaker 1: And you won't have that right, right because you wanted
Speaker 1: to be cheering and all excited because they overturned it.
Speaker 1: So I mean, and I hope that this can go
Speaker 1: the other way eventually in the future, but um, we
Speaker 1: we're gonna pray on that. I just think it's just
Speaker 1: so wrong. I wants for people that, yes, it's just bad.
Speaker 1: It's like, leave my body alone. Let me do with
Speaker 1: what I want with my body. Now. I don't have
Speaker 1: no more eggs left, and so this is not an
Speaker 1: option for me. But I'm just saying yes anyway, That
Speaker 1: is our episode for today. We love y'all so much.
Speaker 1: Enjoy the Fourth of July, like, go see the fireworks,
Speaker 1: love your family, like, spend time with your family, Let
Speaker 1: them know that you appreciate the Enjoy the summer y'all
