Speaker 3: What's up? What's up? I'm Robin Dixon. Thank you so much.
Speaker 2: House, Robin Dixon. Because she didn't have all her head bunk,
Speaker 2: she could here. Okay, I'm here, yes, Hi, Hello, what's up?
Speaker 3: I'm great.
Speaker 2: So right now you have on a reasonably shady sweatshirt?
Speaker 2: Is it on the website?
Speaker 3: So this is not my fault, rashell, it's not. It's
Speaker 3: Carly's fault.
Speaker 2: Now that the that the merchant had on the site.
Speaker 3: Updated the merchandise.
Speaker 1: You know why, because I need assistance Carly folding and
Speaker 1: packaging the paddies. And she said, oh, I'll send michaela
Speaker 1: over her.
Speaker 2: So no, no, but you don't need that to put it
Speaker 2: on the.
Speaker 3: On the side. I don't want.
Speaker 1: I would I would like everything to be packaged, counted,
Speaker 1: all of that before you put on four putting stuff
Speaker 1: on the site, really, because then you put it on
Speaker 1: site and then you have all these orders and then
Speaker 1: you're like folding all that.
Speaker 3: At the same time.
Speaker 1: Okay, So I'm waiting for Carly to bring her daughter over.
Speaker 2: Oh so, Carly, when you're gonna do that, we can
Speaker 2: fold Carly. Carly, this you paid the big bucks for.
Speaker 2: When you're gonna do that? Yeah, okay, anyway, moving on,
Speaker 2: My shady moment is Carly. But go ahead, Rob, and
Speaker 2: do you have a shady moment of the week?
Speaker 3: I do?
Speaker 1: Okay, So for like the past, gosh, I don't know
Speaker 1: number of years, say four years, okay, okay, probably don't. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's before anyway, my hairstyle is
Speaker 1: Shirley has not allowed me to put highlights.
Speaker 3: In my hair.
Speaker 2: Yes, you were. You were in highlight jail.
Speaker 3: I was in highlight jail.
Speaker 1: Yes, because my hair would break off and we wanted
Speaker 1: to grow back. And it's just we just said, okay,
Speaker 1: we're just going to take a break from the color
Speaker 1: the beach. So so I would color it like you know,
Speaker 1: with what permanent semi permanent color, but not do like
Speaker 1: the bleach that like lifts your color and all that.
Speaker 2: But isn't that Shirley's fault that your hair would break off? No,
Speaker 2: no shade to Shirley. But I'm just saying no, And
Speaker 2: that's your hairstyle is responsibility to make sure that when
Speaker 2: they color it they don't do any damage.
Speaker 1: Well, okay, it's certain parts of my hair. So so
Speaker 1: my the front of my hair is really weak for
Speaker 1: whatever reason, so pulling it so so like you know,
Speaker 1: like you have the front of the front of your
Speaker 1: hair where like you have like not bangs but whatever,
Speaker 1: just like this part of your hair in the front right,
Speaker 1: So for whatever reason, and this is just historically, that
Speaker 1: part of my hair wouldn't grow at the same rate
Speaker 1: as the rest of my hair. Yes, so we wanted
Speaker 1: to like grow all together because then you can get
Speaker 1: like the nice even looking bobs in the part.
Speaker 3: And blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: So we're like, okay, we're going to take a break
Speaker 1: from the color.
Speaker 3: Let my hair grow.
Speaker 4: In.
Speaker 1: My hair's like grown, it's gotten really long.
Speaker 3: All of that.
Speaker 1: And anytime you would see me if I did have
Speaker 1: color in my hair, if it looked like I had
Speaker 1: light blonde in my hair, they were extensions. They were
Speaker 1: clippings or a weave or so you know, tape ins whatever.
Speaker 1: So I always had in order to get that bright
Speaker 1: blonde color. It would always be some sort of extension
Speaker 1: fake hair. So recently, I was brought out of highlight jail.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, and.
Speaker 1: It's still not like you know, so she put highlights
Speaker 1: in the front, didn't put it all throughout my entire head,
Speaker 1: but like in the front, it wasn't as bright as
Speaker 1: I usually you know, have gone in the past. So
Speaker 1: she didn't do like a super bright lift or whatever
Speaker 1: she said, you know, she took it on like the
Speaker 1: lowest level. Yeah, and the other day I find some
Speaker 1: broken off pieces in the front of my head.
Speaker 2: So we're not blaming Shirley for this. I'd be blaming Shirley.
Speaker 1: For this, no, because she's using like the lowest formula possible.
Speaker 1: Like it's just I think it's just something with the
Speaker 1: front of my hair with you.
Speaker 2: Know, so it's your hair, it's my hair, okay.
Speaker 1: Because also my hair, it's like my front part is
Speaker 1: more brittle and more coarse than like my my back part,
Speaker 1: like my underneath, like my underneath part is like nice
Speaker 1: and soft, and then my front part just gets a
Speaker 1: little more brittle and.
Speaker 2: Okay, so what's the shady part the hair is just like.
Speaker 1: That my hair freaking broke again, like I got out
Speaker 1: of got of got out of hair, like I.
Speaker 2: Should highlight jail. Yeah, only for you to go back in.
Speaker 2: Oh damn, Oh this is a lot.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Oh wow. Yeah you should take a picture of that,
Speaker 2: show it to the people.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a problem. Yeah it sucks. Yes, it really sucks.
Speaker 1: And it's not her fault. It's just like, because that's
Speaker 1: not that's not even a really light blonde now you know,
Speaker 1: it's not. It's not what I've done in the past.
Speaker 2: It's like, yes, my hair, just this part of my
Speaker 2: hair just does not like I don't think I don't
Speaker 2: think it likes anything. I don't think it likes color,
Speaker 2: it doesn't like heat, it doesn't like tension, you know,
Speaker 2: and you pull it back. It's just because even still
Speaker 2: this front part of my hair is not the same
Speaker 2: length as the rest.
Speaker 3: Of my hair.
Speaker 2: You're going back to jail.
Speaker 3: I am, I'm putting myself in jail. I'm just going
Speaker 3: to go brunette or something.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, well brunette is that brown?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm here for that.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I was kind of like teetering on doing that too,
Speaker 1: but then so it's so funny.
Speaker 3: Leading up to the reunion, I was going to go brunette. Really, yes,
Speaker 3: that would have been different, right, and then it just
Speaker 3: because of my look. I just felt like the.
Speaker 2: Blonde and would have been better with you could have
Speaker 2: pulled off the darker hair or like a little chocolate.
Speaker 2: I don't know, yeah, you could have pulled it off. Okay,
Speaker 2: I have my chickened out.
Speaker 3: You did, so you know I have.
Speaker 2: I have these three daughters of mine who I love,
Speaker 2: and A Door plays across and you know, her dad
Speaker 2: A Door is actually super excited about her. Her trajector
Speaker 2: trajectory is that's just should I say that? In the
Speaker 2: in the lacrosse world anyway, Long story short, her dad
Speaker 2: isn't able to really come to many games. He lives
Speaker 2: in Atlanta, but he was in town. He was able
Speaker 2: to come to the game, and he came to her
Speaker 2: lacrosse game in a three piece suit. And we're all
Speaker 2: trying to figure out why, Jamal Bryant, it's her father, Okay,
Speaker 2: why why?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 2: Was he coming from somewhere else or going He's going
Speaker 2: somewhere else. And in his defense, it's not totally shady,
Speaker 2: it's not totally shitty because the interface defense he did
Speaker 2: give her heads up. He's like you know, I don't
Speaker 2: want to embarrass you, but you know what I'm going Tom,
Speaker 2: I might, I might be kind of dressed. You have
Speaker 2: on a three piece suits, sir at a lacrosse at
Speaker 2: Lacrosse High School field where everyone where the standard parent outfits. Yes,
Speaker 2: it's jeans and either two jeans.
Speaker 3: Jeans is dressing up?
Speaker 2: Yes, true, like sweatpants something and you have on three
Speaker 2: piece suits. So he is my shady moment of the week.
Speaker 2: But we're happy that he was there. That is that's
Speaker 2: Jamal end I mean, you know, you gotta love Jamal Brant.
Speaker 3: You know, he he is consistent.
Speaker 2: He's like.
Speaker 3: It's like I'm dressing down. This is dressed down nothing.
Speaker 2: He is consistent. You gotta love him. So what's up
Speaker 2: with your bitcoin? Miss? Because I remember back in the
Speaker 2: day and the day Robin was like just out, do
Speaker 2: you have bigcoin? And I was like no, and you
Speaker 2: was like you gout to guess how big call. Then
Speaker 2: like years went by and like bitcoin was in something
Speaker 2: called the booty. Uh huh, it was in the trash,
Speaker 2: it was in the gudda, And now all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: Bitcoin is like out, It's out of the gun. And
Speaker 2: Rob is like, my bigcoin is popping, my bitcoin is popping.
Speaker 3: Okay, So yeah that was a bit much.
Speaker 2: Okay, So I'm not talking a lot of money here,
Speaker 2: but it's just fun to see it, just like fun.
Speaker 2: But like how long is it gonna stay up?
Speaker 3: That? Right? That's the question.
Speaker 2: So should we cash out?
Speaker 3: Not yet?
Speaker 2: No, everybody says that, and I'm like, no, let's cash out. No, no,
Speaker 2: So you have you have something because you told me
Speaker 2: you bullied me into getting bitcoin. Well you and cal
Speaker 2: Cal kind.
Speaker 3: Of bully me.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, you don't have big coin. If y'all
Speaker 2: try to act like I wasn't cool because I didn't
Speaker 2: have bitcood now it's gone up, you're like okay, right.
Speaker 1: So that so that question is like, okay, when should
Speaker 1: we cash out?
Speaker 3: What should we do?
Speaker 1: And look, I'm only talking four thousand dollars here.
Speaker 2: That's four thousand board and somebody else.
Speaker 1: Mine went from just the backstory I put two thousand
Speaker 1: years ago. It tanks and went down to like a dollar, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: I left it in. It grew back up to the
Speaker 1: when it got up to twenty two hundred dollars, and
Speaker 1: it took a time. It took some time I took
Speaker 1: my original two thousand dollars out and I left two
Speaker 1: hundred in. Okay, So from that two hundred, my bitcoin
Speaker 1: now is at like forty two hundred.
Speaker 3: What mine? No mine?
Speaker 2: Is it that I left more in the two hundred?
Speaker 3: Really?
Speaker 2: What in the tar nation I'm getting? I'm getting robbed
Speaker 2: by the bitcoin wy did target.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe it's because of like how much you paid
Speaker 1: for it when you got in, like the like how
Speaker 1: much your bitcoin was worth when you got it.
Speaker 3: Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't really know how that works. So
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, yeah, that's a nice little payout. But
Speaker 1: if you look, I think it's going to continue to
Speaker 1: go up. I mean, it's definitely probably gonna you know, I.
Speaker 2: Didn't eve want to tell you all about mind, so
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna be crying out here. But I don't
Speaker 2: have no four thousand dollars. If I have four, I
Speaker 2: take it out, really I would, because like, because it's
Speaker 2: going to go down.
Speaker 3: It's going to go down. It's going to go down.
Speaker 2: But Carlly, so Carly the bitcoin guru is over here
Speaker 2: talking about it's gonna go down, but then it's going
Speaker 2: to go way up. Way up.
Speaker 1: So look a year ago, all right, so bigcoin is
Speaker 1: at I don't know, somewhere in the sixties right now,
Speaker 1: and you know, by the time this airs, who knows
Speaker 1: what it could be, but at this so so.
Speaker 3: What is it right now?
Speaker 2: It's up?
Speaker 3: It's still up. Yeah, okay, So.
Speaker 1: Right now, it's at sixty seven three eighty eight.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's what I have.
Speaker 1: If you look at it from just a year ago.
Speaker 1: One year ago, it was at nineteen thousand, five hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty eight, and then it doubled. So that's way more.
Speaker 1: That's like now it's that forty two, No, sixty nine.
Speaker 1: What I'm sorry right now, I'm sorry, it's at it's
Speaker 1: at sixty seven thousand right.
Speaker 4: Now, okay, yes, okay, okay. A year ago it was
Speaker 4: nineteen thousand. Oh okay, right yeah, So history tells you, yes,
Speaker 4: it's gonna like go up and down and up and down,
Speaker 4: up and down. Yes, But if my if it can
Speaker 4: go from sixty seven thousand to in one more year,
Speaker 4: one hundred and twenty thousand.
Speaker 2: That's what you think, you'll think it's gonna go back
Speaker 2: down again. I think it'll go down, but it'll go
Speaker 2: up Carley said, way up, way up.
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's predict because all right, here's the thing
Speaker 1: about bitcoin. A lot of these economies and businesses and countries,
Speaker 1: they're trying to transition everything that we do never happening,
Speaker 1: but it's it's going to be gradual. I would have
Speaker 1: told you we would have never had an electric car
Speaker 1: and it happened.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: They're trying to transition everything to like electric transactions.
Speaker 2: Yes, but it has to be regulated.
Speaker 1: It does, yes, Right, So that's a scary part because
Speaker 1: like once it becomes regulated, then what happens.
Speaker 2: Well, then all of the illegal drug activity can no
Speaker 2: longer happen. So then they're going to make another form
Speaker 2: of illegal payments.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like, trust me, I'm tempted to take it out,
Speaker 1: or I'm tempted just to be like, okay, let me
Speaker 1: leave two hundred dollars in. Let me take this out
Speaker 1: and then leave it and leave two hundred dollars in
Speaker 1: and then see where it goes. I'm tempted for sure,
Speaker 1: take out two. I already took the two thousand out.
Speaker 1: But remember I said I got to twenty two hundred.
Speaker 1: I took I say takeout. So this my forty two
Speaker 1: hundred is from leaving two hundred in my account. And
Speaker 1: I used to and I actually used to every month
Speaker 1: like put I don't know, two hundred dollars in or whatever.
Speaker 3: I still I don't know.
Speaker 1: I stopped doing that a long time ago, and like
Speaker 1: maybe I should go to that. Yeah, well I got
Speaker 1: this one stock long a while ago.
Speaker 3: That isn't gonna make me a rich. Okay, what's the stock? Rich?
Speaker 2: How many did you buy?
Speaker 3: Probably like to.
Speaker 2: What's the stock in video?
Speaker 3: In the video? Spell that for me? N V I
Speaker 3: d I A yes, what is that?
Speaker 2: So when I got in video, that's like getting Amazon
Speaker 2: before Amazon popped off? So in video does all the
Speaker 2: technology for AI artificial Okay, and that thing has skyrocketed. Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm telling my guy to buy something. Yeah, okay, that's yeah,
Speaker 2: it's a long game.
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, we'll see like I'm it's it's just fun
Speaker 1: to see, like.
Speaker 2: See it go yes sky Okay, we're moving on from
Speaker 2: the stocky Okay, So I know this is you know,
Speaker 2: Carla gets very excited, all right, because I want to
Speaker 2: talk about the most educated countries in the world. Did
Speaker 2: you see this list. No, who do you think is
Speaker 2: number one? Because we're going to start at number ten,
Speaker 2: it's top ten.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: Who do I think is number one educated?
Speaker 1: Most educated? Yeah, India or China.
Speaker 2: So Norway is number ten, China's number not at nine,
Speaker 2: China's nine, which is very shocking to me because I
Speaker 2: was with you on that. Sweden is eight, Japan, Okay,
Speaker 2: we keep going. Sweden is eight, Australia is seven, Okay, Okay,
Speaker 2: the Netherlands are six, Denmark is five.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: Don't know anybody from the Netherlands or Denmark.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: Switzerland is four.
Speaker 3: Okay, I've been in Switzerland.
Speaker 2: South Korea is number three, Okay, Okay, I see that.
Speaker 2: Finland number two? Really do we know anyone from Finland?
Speaker 3: No? Where is hello? Anyone listening from Finland? Denmark? Where else? Yes?
Speaker 2: All these countries US high at US number one. Singapore?
Speaker 2: Oh okay, I didn't say the United States.
Speaker 1: No, you didn't top ten or even or even Great Britain.
Speaker 2: The UK UK is not in it. The United States
Speaker 2: is not in it. I'm feeling really dumb. I'm I'm
Speaker 2: feeling really confused, you know, like a dumb bunny.
Speaker 1: I'm feeling confused because you don't hear about a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff at least we don't, you know, we don't
Speaker 1: hear about a lot of stuff coming out of a
Speaker 1: lot of those countries, right you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: like like technologies, yes, and manufacturing or whatever. So I'm wondering,
Speaker 1: is it more in science? Is it more like in
Speaker 1: what respect are they considered the most educated?
Speaker 3: Well? And how does that affect there?
Speaker 2: I think I think it's like educated, like degreed up.
Speaker 2: And they they feel like education, global recognition of the
Speaker 2: value of education is very important to them. So but
Speaker 2: I'm curious in what fields? Like what are they studying everything?
Speaker 2: Robbing everything?
Speaker 3: But what is it?
Speaker 2: I'm really they say that they feel like that that
Speaker 2: education as is the cornerstone for societal advancement and prosperity. Okay,
Speaker 2: And what what are we doing over here in the
Speaker 2: United Okay?
Speaker 1: So then I'm curious, like what's the economies like over there?
Speaker 1: The healthcare system like over there, fantastic, all of it?
Speaker 2: We need to move well, yes, because in Denmark, I
Speaker 2: think all the I think all the health care is
Speaker 2: free everywhere.
Speaker 3: Oh really? Yeah?
Speaker 2: And Singapore, My dad went to Singapore and he loved it,
Speaker 2: really he went back several times. One of his favorite places.
Speaker 3: That sounds really stupid.
Speaker 2: You don't even know where Singapore was. Yeah, it's over
Speaker 2: there by bye.
Speaker 3: Is it like Thailand?
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, because I remember when I went to Thailand.
Speaker 2: I remember Singapore was.
Speaker 1: So where is it in relation to like China? Is
Speaker 1: it related to China at all?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: China. No, China is all the way over there.
Speaker 1: You know what always is confusing? What's the country in
Speaker 1: the country? Is it Hong Kong is in China Hong
Speaker 1: Kong or is.
Speaker 3: That a city?
Speaker 2: Hong Kong is a Citywong is a city in China.
Speaker 1: I don't know why it presents itself as a because history.
Speaker 2: Because it's big, I think, because you know, I don't know.
Speaker 3: We're moving on.
Speaker 5: So in nineteen ninety seven, the British officially ceded control
Speaker 5: over Hong Kong to the People's Republic of China. However,
Speaker 5: in Hong Kong, the British said that for a period
Speaker 5: of fifty years, the Chinese wouldn't interfere with the economic
Speaker 5: situation in Hong Kong, that it would remain a capitalist system,
Speaker 5: and that they would have their own judicial system. That
Speaker 5: they could essentially make their own laws and charge their
Speaker 5: own people in Hong Kong as an autonomous area that
Speaker 5: was part of China but wasn't subject to all its laws.
Speaker 2: I don't want anybody to know that you are geographically challenged.
Speaker 3: I am. I am.
Speaker 1: When it comes to them, my son Carter would be
Speaker 1: calling me all types of.
Speaker 2: What would he say, because he knows where everything is.
Speaker 3: He knows where everything is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he would be like, I can't believe I'm having
Speaker 1: this conversation with you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's how Angel would do me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, so.
Speaker 2: Is I do this? I saw this on instant and
Speaker 2: I do this, and I thought I was the only
Speaker 2: one that did it. Okay, says call me childish, but
Speaker 2: beating the GPS time is an extreme sport to me. Yes,
Speaker 2: I thought I was the only one.
Speaker 3: I did.
Speaker 2: Yes, I gotta beat the GPS time. So if it's like, Okay,
Speaker 2: you're gonna get there in twenty seven minutes, no, bitch,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get there in twenty ten minutes exactly.
Speaker 3: Yes, I do it too. I do it too.
Speaker 2: I'm always like, no, I'm gonna beat it. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: beat it.
Speaker 1: It's at least like a good four minutes you can
Speaker 1: like make up somehow, yes, or even so if I'm
Speaker 1: like going somewhere, yeah, and I'll put the GPS and
Speaker 1: they're like, what time are you going to get there?
Speaker 3: Girl?
Speaker 1: And it says three twenty one, I'd be like, I'll
Speaker 1: beat it three fifteen, okay.
Speaker 2: But I hate when you do that because you're straight
Speaker 2: lying and then I'm like waiting for you.
Speaker 3: You do that all the time.
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, Robin, you haven't left the house yet.
Speaker 2: Do you try to beat it? You haven't even left
Speaker 2: the house right right.
Speaker 3: I'm in my bathroom.
Speaker 2: I'm in my bathroom on Apple Maps, Like, but now,
Speaker 2: I thought I promised you. I thought I was the
Speaker 2: only one that ever did that.
Speaker 1: Yes, oh no, no, it's a thing.
Speaker 3: Yes, it is a thing. Yeah, And I put in
Speaker 3: my around here.
Speaker 1: You know, traffic is unpredictable, right crazy, So it doesn't
Speaker 1: matter if I know where I'm going, I always.
Speaker 3: Put it in.
Speaker 2: I put it in and put it in to come
Speaker 2: to your house. Yes, yes, yes, because it could take
Speaker 2: you right around the band, you.
Speaker 1: Know for traffic exactly, yeah, exactly, Yes, I don't matter
Speaker 1: what it does not matter where I'm going, even if
Speaker 1: I'm going to like the target, which is eight minutes
Speaker 1: down the sh.
Speaker 2: Again, now you carried it away, because there's different ways
Speaker 2: I could go. Okay, and you're definitely beating the g
Speaker 2: I always beat the GPS like one at least like
Speaker 2: one or two minutes, right, And if I don't, it's
Speaker 2: like I'm upset about it for like a while.
Speaker 1: But you know why, Okay, So you know why you
Speaker 1: can beat it because they're basing it on if you
Speaker 1: drive the speed limit right, Well, we know you don't.
Speaker 2: I don't know whether I'll know it's not. Robin drives
Speaker 2: faster than anyone I know, do I really?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 2: Probably not, but you are very like Adoor drives very
Speaker 2: fast and I'm like, slow down, but Robin be zooming?
Speaker 3: Yes, yes I do.
Speaker 2: So you always beating the GPA driver?
Speaker 3: Are you a good driver? I am?
Speaker 1: Okay, yes, knock on wood, yes, Oh my gosh, okay,
Speaker 1: this could be a shady moment, but yes, it's fine.
Speaker 3: I'll just spill it.
Speaker 1: We were on the phone, remember, and all of a
Speaker 1: sudden I'm like, no, what and a pebble hits my windshield?
Speaker 1: Oh yes, so yes, right, after Zelle dealt with her windshield,
Speaker 1: now I have to deal with my windshield. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: are you are you gonna just wait for the pebble,
Speaker 1: I mean the crack to Yeah, I'm not in a
Speaker 1: rush because it's it's like, actually, forgot it happened because
Speaker 1: it's on my passenger side and kind of low and
Speaker 1: it hasn't started to spread.
Speaker 3: And I almost I forgot it happened.
Speaker 1: Because I just don't really like see it, you know,
Speaker 1: But moms in the passenger seat yesterday it was like,
Speaker 1: you gotta get that fixed, and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna wait.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna wait.
Speaker 2: I don't understand because you have a very nice car,
Speaker 2: as do I. So why is it that a little
Speaker 2: bitty pebble, yes, can trash our window? A teeny tiny pebble?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: Why do we pay all that money? Yes, for a
Speaker 1: week ass windshield?
Speaker 3: Like yes, dumb ass?
Speaker 1: When should they should make it? Can they make it
Speaker 1: out of a different material?
Speaker 2: Right that this doesn't happen? Yeah, you would think that's
Speaker 2: crazy or maybe they wanted to crack so then, cause
Speaker 2: you know that's true. I don't want to tell you
Speaker 2: how much I had to pay for mine.
Speaker 3: That's true.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I couldn't go back to the insurance because
Speaker 2: remember the deer. Yes, yes, so I had just said
Speaker 2: my and just sent me like twelve thousand dollars for
Speaker 2: my dear situation. I could not go back for the winds.
Speaker 2: I had a payout of pocket. Yeah, three thousand dollars,
Speaker 2: like horrible.
Speaker 3: I believe that.
Speaker 1: I believe that I'm hesitant to even take mine in
Speaker 1: because I have a range Rover, like the big body
Speaker 1: range Rover twenty twenty four, and it took me months
Speaker 1: just to get my car, and the dealer was like,
Speaker 1: my salesforce was like, oh, you're lucky, yours is the
Speaker 1: only one that's you know, you have the only twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four in North America and whatever. Like it was like,
Speaker 1: so there's a backlog on my on range Rovers.
Speaker 3: So I'm scared.
Speaker 1: If I'm like, oh, my windshield is cracked, They're going
Speaker 1: to be like, yeah, well we don't have.
Speaker 3: The parts or if you want the part, it's going
Speaker 3: to take.
Speaker 2: But that part should be standard. That windshield should be standard.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean if it's a new model, if it's a
Speaker 1: new I don't know, just the way like range Rover
Speaker 1: is so back.
Speaker 3: It was so so slaw. I don't know. It was
Speaker 3: like a computer chip.
Speaker 1: I know, but that was like in a long time.
Speaker 1: That was four years ago. It's so crazy. It's it
Speaker 1: will take place.
Speaker 2: They get to get it together.
Speaker 1: Yes, why I don't have when I whenever I go
Speaker 1: to the dealership, like I went to go like pick
Speaker 1: my tags up, and I'm like, y'all got any cars
Speaker 1: in yet? They're like nope, Like they have like no
Speaker 1: business because they can't sell cars because they're not getting cars.
Speaker 2: How are they staying in business?
Speaker 1: I mean probably the used car market, you know.
Speaker 3: And then they have you know, so they have like
Speaker 3: land Rover and Jaguars. So the Jaguars are there.
Speaker 1: They have like some other like the Defender model is there.
Speaker 1: But it's still it's not a lot like you go
Speaker 1: and it's just so many empty parking spaces because you know,
Speaker 1: we're usually it's filled up with new cars.
Speaker 3: Waiting for people to buy. I'm like, I want to.
Speaker 2: I want to share something with you. And I'm not
Speaker 2: like a dog person, and dog people don't come from me,
Speaker 2: like because it's just not nice anyway. President Biden's dog
Speaker 2: Commander bit Secret Service agents twenty four times? What twenty
Speaker 2: four times?
Speaker 3: What you heard me? I said?
Speaker 2: On twenty four occasions a Secret Service agent got big?
Speaker 3: What kind of dog is this?
Speaker 2: It looks like a German shepherd by the dog named
Speaker 2: Commander That actually should not be his name.
Speaker 3: It should be hungry. Wow.
Speaker 2: Because he's over here biting people, I'm so like, how
Speaker 2: old is he? I don't even know? But like, when
Speaker 2: do we say enough is enough? When do we send
Speaker 2: the dog away right to dog camp to learn how
Speaker 2: to night somewhere else?
Speaker 3: Bite people?
Speaker 1: I feel like you can only get away with that
Speaker 1: because he's the President of the United States. Like, who's
Speaker 1: going to tell the President of the United States your
Speaker 1: dog got to go?
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Well, Secret Service they should
Speaker 2: like band together and be like we we had a meeting, yeah,
Speaker 2: and we decided, yeah we quit or your dog got
Speaker 2: to go.
Speaker 3: Yeah that's true. Yeah, that's what I would say.
Speaker 1: But and also, hello, mister president, if your dog is
Speaker 1: biting all these people, like, do something about it?
Speaker 3: Well, why he does.
Speaker 2: Not have time for that. I think he's got to
Speaker 2: run a.
Speaker 1: Country, right, we hope hopefully, But yeah, but still like, okay, something, Jill,
Speaker 1: do you care the DC twenty four people twenty dog
Speaker 1: has bitten twenty four times.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's insanity to me because at the time number
Speaker 2: two the dog be gone, Oh my god, put the
Speaker 2: dog down. They can't, you can you know you don't
Speaker 2: put the good dog down for that.
Speaker 3: Well, no, they do it for like pit bulls that,

Speaker 3: What's in the bag?
Speaker 2: I guess his money, maybe his wallet, I don't know,
Speaker 2: maybe a brush for his hair or something. I don't know.
Speaker 2: But he just looked strange to me and all stresses
Speaker 2: like that, does he?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 2: Oh you can't. I can't really.
Speaker 3: Oh, it's just like that.
Speaker 1: Like I've seen a lot of pictures of him, like
Speaker 1: tight pants Lakers games, and it's it's questionable like he's
Speaker 1: wearing You're just like.
Speaker 2: Well, he definitely had something. Well, it's it's like a
Speaker 2: sweat outfit, right, but the pants were like super tight, right,
Speaker 2: and then the top was a little baggy, but still
Speaker 2: it was like weird baggy and then and people. There's
Speaker 2: so many memes of people jumping out.
Speaker 3: That's what I saw.
Speaker 2: I saw a guy dressed up as him, and I was, okay, wait,
Speaker 2: I need to see the original. Oh it's and when
Speaker 2: I saw it, I was like, oh, this is weird.
Speaker 2: But then the funny part is everybody making fun of
Speaker 2: him like that is just like, well, but I think
Speaker 2: he's just used to it.
Speaker 1: I think at this point he's used to it, and
Speaker 1: now you do it for like attention.
Speaker 2: You think he did it on purpose. He didn't have
Speaker 2: a mers on on purpose to get it to like I.
Speaker 1: Think, so I think he knows like, okay, this is
Speaker 1: going to get some attention. The tight.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yet it was very much and no one. What was
Speaker 2: lost was total Wine. Like that's actually right because I
Speaker 2: thought he pulled up to Target.
Speaker 3: I didn't know it was Total Wine.
Speaker 2: I was like, wow, okay, this is this is intense.
Speaker 2: I was like, where is chad Ocho sing when you
Speaker 2: need him? Okay, he has a stylist. What, yes, No,
Speaker 2: I've seen yes, I've seen them.
Speaker 3: Tag. A stylist is a guy.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, well we need a new one because the
Speaker 2: whole or maybe just I think he likes that.
Speaker 1: I can't so even when he was in like the NFL,
Speaker 1: I think he just you know, it's kind of like
Speaker 1: Jamal showed up to a cross game and a three
Speaker 1: piece suit.
Speaker 2: Okay, because Jamal's going somewhere, which is where he needs
Speaker 2: to wear this three piece suit. Okay, but Jamal's not
Speaker 2: mersing it. Okay, jama has no merses. You sure, non shit?
Speaker 1: Right exactly?
Speaker 3: You have to think about that now.
Speaker 2: I listen, I don't know what Jamal's closet is these days.
Speaker 2: He's like, you might have a.
Speaker 3: Verse or two. Okay, but yeah, moving.
Speaker 2: On, okay, So Kat Williams we did an interview We
Speaker 2: Love Cat. How do we start talking about Shannon Sharpe's
Speaker 2: about Cat Williams. All right, So Cat did an interview
Speaker 2: We Love Cat and he started talking about or explaining
Speaker 2: why he believes God exists. Okay, right, and he gave
Speaker 2: some explanation that didn't I was like, okay, yeah, but
Speaker 2: why do you think God exists?
Speaker 3: What or do you think?
Speaker 2: Because if I had to explain to somebody like God
Speaker 2: exists because this happened, right, So for me, it's like
Speaker 2: childbirth okay, right, getting pregnant like egg and a sperm
Speaker 2: and all that. It's like, okay, this, there's no way
Speaker 2: this can happen without like some super bean power entity
Speaker 2: making all of this stuff happen. And then out of
Speaker 2: your vagina is a person Like that's God.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yeah, I mean, I mean you could say
Speaker 1: that for so many things, whether it's just like the
Speaker 1: little micro organisms that live in the ocean, to like
Speaker 1: you know, all the animals that feed off of one another.
Speaker 1: It's just it's amazing. And then it's the same thing
Speaker 1: with like the chicken and egg reference. What comes first,
Speaker 1: the chicken or the egg?
Speaker 3: What do you think? I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think the chicken.
Speaker 3: But how did the chicken get here? God?
Speaker 1: So so God put the chicken here? In the chicken
Speaker 1: made the eggs.
Speaker 2: Right, the chicken has to get fertilized though, right, there's
Speaker 2: two chickens or it is a chicken in a rooster.
Speaker 3: Wait a minute, is it a roos.
Speaker 2: Chicken and a rooster rooster? Roost chickens are females, so
Speaker 2: somebody impregnates. Yeah, but the chickens just don't lay. The
Speaker 2: chickens don't lay. The eggs just because like they have
Speaker 2: to be fertilized, right, yeah, right.
Speaker 3: But it's like, but that's that's how you know.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's an example of why God exists. Yeah, eggs,
Speaker 1: chickens lay eggs that make patch into chickens or chicken.
Speaker 1: Get here, Okay, there was no egg to begin with.
Speaker 2: Wait wait wait wait wait, let's back all the way
Speaker 2: to freak up. Okay, Okay, the eggs that we eat
Speaker 2: from the store, yes, are they not fertilized, They just
Speaker 2: coming out the chicken. But the chicken, the ones that
Speaker 2: are fertilized are then little chickies.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: Oh is that is that right?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I guess so?
Speaker 2: Or do I just make that up?
Speaker 3: No? That makes sense.
Speaker 2: Okay, So the chicken, we don't need the rooster, right, We.
Speaker 3: Don't need not for the egg, not for the egg.
Speaker 2: This conversation is we need the rooster to make more chicken,
Speaker 2: to make more chickens, not the eggs.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: So this is this is you know what amazing is
Speaker 2: about that I've never thought about this, right, So the
Speaker 2: chicken is just walking around squirt now eggs yes, for
Speaker 2: us to eat?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 2: Ma.
Speaker 1: And then so those chickens, I assume you know, we
Speaker 1: don't eat those chickens that the ones that are laying
Speaker 1: the eggs, No, because yeah, we can, but they need
Speaker 1: the chickens to lay the eggs so that we're.
Speaker 3: Eating Like what chickens are we eating? Like are there
Speaker 3: like good egg layers? You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: They're like, yeah, it's like how many? I was like,
Speaker 2: how many do they lay? I lay? Very well, thank
Speaker 2: you very much. I'm just saying I've gotten no complaints.
Speaker 1: But that's crazy, like, yes, we eat the eggs that
Speaker 1: would have been chickens.
Speaker 2: Yeah or no, oh, but they're not fertilized, right, okay,
Speaker 2: right right right, okay, so it's all that idiots. But
Speaker 2: I'm saying it's like it's like, wow, the fact that
Speaker 2: this even exists, It's like.
Speaker 3: It's how do we get here?
Speaker 2: How do we get so for people that don't believe
Speaker 2: in like higher being, God, whatever, it's strange to me.
Speaker 1: Yes, because then you have people who believe just in
Speaker 1: the Big Bang theory that like one time, one day,
Speaker 1: just something just happened and then all this stuff fell
Speaker 1: into place.
Speaker 2: All of a sudden, all the animals are here, right,
Speaker 2: and yeah that's all.
Speaker 1: Well, it's insane. It's really crazy.
Speaker 2: I think that's very deep if you really like think
Speaker 2: about it and start just like going down the line
Speaker 2: of how stuff works, and like yeah, and like you know,
Speaker 2: even with and I think what Kat was talking about,
Speaker 2: just like the changing up the leaves. Yeah, so leaves
Speaker 2: are brown and then they well they fall off their
Speaker 2: brown and then when they come back they're like green,
Speaker 2: and then they change the orange or yellow or like
Speaker 2: a little reddish color and then they fall off again.
Speaker 2: Like that whole process is.
Speaker 1: It has to be gone. But that's connected to like
Speaker 1: the rotation of the planets. Yes, and you know how
Speaker 1: it revolves around the Sun and rotates on its axis
Speaker 1: like all of that, right, even that it's insane, you know.
Speaker 2: And then like you know, Giselle and Robin, we're in
Speaker 2: each other's lives.
Speaker 3: How that shit happened?
Speaker 2: God was God? Right, we're gonna blind out on God, right, listen,
Speaker 2: you just we're gonna blame it all on Jesus, right,
Speaker 2: who knew the day we met, Yes, that would right
Speaker 2: the day we met that we'd be reasonably shading it up.
Speaker 3: Yes, Wow, that's God.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, I'm here for it, y'all.
Speaker 1: First, I want to apologize to anyone who has sent
Speaker 1: an email and we have not read it on the
Speaker 1: show because we get tons, tons of emails, but we
Speaker 1: appreciate you guys for writing us. If you want to
Speaker 1: write to us, the email address is what's up at
Speaker 1: reasonably shady dot com. Please send us whatever it might be,
Speaker 1: your reasonable or shady scenarios, your praise, your complaints, your
Speaker 1: you know, anything that you see that you just want
Speaker 1: to respond and don't because we read hater mail.
Speaker 2: Don't be trying to send hater mail thinking we're going
Speaker 2: to read yours.
Speaker 1: Okay, we might get a kick out of it, but
Speaker 1: to be honest, we don't get a lot of hater mail,
Speaker 1: and we get so much love, like so much, we do,
Speaker 1: and we appreciate you guys for that for sure. Okay,
Speaker 1: so me me, our you know, our faith our g
Speaker 1: squad President. Yes, sent a scenario which I thought was interesting.
Speaker 1: It says my boyfriend of three years, his another three years.
Speaker 1: The last one we read they were together for three
Speaker 1: years and then the man told the woman that he has.
Speaker 2: Is this the same scenario? Is this the same person?
Speaker 3: It's not?
Speaker 1: Oh okay, no, this is and this is not Shamarion's scenario.
Speaker 1: This is one that she thought was interesting and I
Speaker 1: think I like this. My boyfriend of three years lost
Speaker 1: his job last month, which has been a significant challenge
Speaker 1: for him. He approached me two weeks ago and asked
Speaker 1: if I could help him pay his mortgage, but I
Speaker 1: told him no. Last week he presented me with a
Speaker 1: spreadsheet detailing everything he had done for me during our relationship,
Speaker 1: totaling over twenty thousand dollars in value. He then broke
Speaker 1: up with me three years the drain. Despite feeling guilty,
Speaker 1: he never asks for anything. I still feel that if
Speaker 1: he's truly my man, then he should have something to
Speaker 1: offer as well. Yes, I can't believe this man broke
Speaker 1: up with me because I told him no. He found
Speaker 1: a way to pay it. I don't think I was
Speaker 1: wrong because he was supposed to lead, not me. Plus
Speaker 1: I don't live with him. If I was living with him,
Speaker 1: I would have did it.
Speaker 3: Then.
Speaker 1: Do you see my point? So do you think she
Speaker 1: was right for telling him no?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Really Wait a minute. And so they're in a relationship. Yeah,
Speaker 1: three years he lost his job. He asked her to
Speaker 1: help with his mortgage. She said no, and they're not married.
Speaker 1: They're not married, they don't live together, okay, and she
Speaker 1: said no. So then he, you know, shows her like, okay,
Speaker 1: well look at all this that I've done for you
Speaker 1: over the past three years, kin spreadsheet and breaks up
Speaker 1: with her.
Speaker 3: Who do you think is wrong?
Speaker 2: This spreadsheet? The spreadsheet is wrong?
Speaker 3: Really?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the spreadsheet is petty as fuck? Like, no, really,
Speaker 2: I think I think the girlfriend is wrong what I
Speaker 2: do because you've been together for three years?
Speaker 3: Yes, okay, he lost his job.
Speaker 2: He hasn't put a ring on it.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's okay, and he's in a position where he
Speaker 1: needs some sort of help, right, and she didn't she
Speaker 1: told him no.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just feel like when he when she told him no,
Speaker 1: that signal to him, Oh, we're not as committed as
Speaker 1: I thought we were, right, We're not as much of
Speaker 1: a unit as I thought.
Speaker 2: Okay, I agree with that. She should have held him
Speaker 2: down for a second exactly, Yes, for like a month, yeah,
Speaker 2: thirty days.
Speaker 1: A month, two months, and then he gets a job
Speaker 1: and he's fine, and so she's probably now feeling like, wow,
Speaker 1: I fed up, because he did bounce back, he did
Speaker 1: get back on his feet. He did get another job,
Speaker 1: and now you you messed up a whole good relationship because.
Speaker 3: You didn't want to.
Speaker 2: Okay, I take it back everything I said.
Speaker 3: Good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, see that, I love that.
Speaker 1: See what this is what y'all should love about us.
Speaker 1: Like we might disagree initially and then we could talk
Speaker 1: things through and they were like, okay, I can I.
Speaker 3: Can see that.
Speaker 2: No, she was wrong. She should have helped him out,
Speaker 2: and but there was a reason why she didn't. I
Speaker 2: just we need to get to the bottom of the reason.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I feel no.
Speaker 1: Her reason was she said something about he should lead,
Speaker 1: the man should lead. Yeah, I mean, you should always lead,
Speaker 1: but has something to offer. I agree with that, but
Speaker 1: when but I'm sorry, no one's perfect. And when you
Speaker 1: lose your job, and you lose your job, you know, okay.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately he must not have had his you know, the
Speaker 1: six months of savings that the people tell you should have, right,
Speaker 1: you're emergency fund.
Speaker 2: He didn't have his emergency fund. Yeah, Rady, And this
Speaker 2: is a learning lesson for him.
Speaker 3: Probably.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's not a reason to be like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to help you. It can be like,
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna help you, but you need
Speaker 1: to do better saving up your emergency funds. Blah blah blah,
Speaker 1: because that's really okay if you get married and and
Speaker 1: I don't know, I think as a man, I don't
Speaker 1: want to think that if I come on hard times,
Speaker 1: I can't rely on my partner or my wife. I
Speaker 1: agree with that, to hold it down or the sacrifice
Speaker 1: without making me feel less than.
Speaker 2: I look at that robing.
Speaker 3: I like that.
Speaker 2: So and then this is a good thing that this
Speaker 2: happened because he now knows that who she is. She's
Speaker 2: not a ride to die.
Speaker 3: She's a selfish bitch. He moved on.
Speaker 2: She went from the spreadsheet is round, She's a selfish bench.
Speaker 2: But he's just pointing out to her like like, really,
Speaker 2: this is what we're doing, okay, and I'm moving on? Yes,
Speaker 2: all right. So Ariel wrote in and said, Hi, Giselle, Robin,
Speaker 2: and Carly are. I'm a Day one shaster and obviously
Speaker 2: a huge rhop fan, and I just wanted to say
Speaker 2: how much I really appreciate Monday's IWD episode. Oh Women,

Speaker 2: this was just such a great episode. She talked to
Speaker 2: my mother.
Speaker 3: Ye right, already know the red is going.
Speaker 1: It's good to know that you all that we don't
Speaker 1: have to be shady all the time.

Speaker 2: Anyway, thanks for giving us laughing for all that. You
Speaker 2: do nothing better than women supporting women. I hope you
Speaker 2: can bring the show to New York soon, so we

Speaker 1: You know, we figured out, yes, we're gonna go back
Speaker 1: to New York, New York. It's easy, we can do that.
Speaker 1: Oh really, yeah, but we gotta go other places first.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, fine, yeah, okay, I'm gonna read this
Speaker 2: last one. High ladies. I lot just I love your podcast.
Speaker 2: A huge fan. This is from I'm a little late
Speaker 2: to the podcast party.
Speaker 3: What's all right?
Speaker 2: What you've been doing? It's soft, right, Okay, fine, Robin said,
Speaker 2: it's all right, a little bit, but not the way
Speaker 2: before we get too far into this. Y'all know we've
Speaker 2: been going through this trademark thing with Eminem, just saying
Speaker 2: you know, and it's been very interesting to us because
Speaker 2: it's just like it's just so weird. Yes, but anyway,
Speaker 2: so you know, we were deposed, Robin and I were
Speaker 2: deposed by Eminem's lawyers, and you know, we felt like,
Speaker 2: you know, it was done to the goose, is good
Speaker 2: for the gander. Yeah, And so we said, okay, well
Speaker 2: we want to pose Eminem, yes, and his side said, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.
Speaker 2: Eminem is not leaving his couch or taking his sweatpants off.
Speaker 2: He's just going to stay in Detroit forever. He's not
Speaker 2: going to be deposed ever ever. Ever, So we had
Speaker 2: to put that forward to the powers that be or
Speaker 2: to the trademark Commission and say, okay, you know, we
Speaker 2: need this man to be deposed.
Speaker 3: And right, we won. Yes, they ruled in our favor.
Speaker 2: Yes, they did that.
Speaker 3: Marshall Mathers.
Speaker 1: Must be deposed, yesposed, Yes, so we will see what
Speaker 1: happens after that.
Speaker 2: Can't wait? Yes, I'll be there, guys, I'll give you
Speaker 2: a report back. I'm gonna be a rolling reporter anyway,
Speaker 2: all right, said she's late to the party. I recently
Speaker 2: started listening to one of one from several months ago
Speaker 2: concerning a mother who used a spam donor and never
Speaker 2: told her child. Oh, speaking of you know La La
Speaker 2: can't Yes from vander Pop Rolls just announced that she
Speaker 2: is pregnant. It's pregnant with her second child, and she's
Speaker 2: using a spone sperm donor. I hit her up and
Speaker 2: I was like, you know, kudos to like doing it
Speaker 2: your way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, for sure. So yeah, good for her, Yeah,
Speaker 1: good for her.
Speaker 3: My only question is.
Speaker 2: What do you tell the child? Are we we talked
Speaker 2: about this before, Like, what do you tell the child
Speaker 2: who your father is? You say, I picked up your
Speaker 2: father from a list of.
Speaker 3: Options.
Speaker 1: I think so, I think thank You have no choice
Speaker 1: but to tell them the truth.
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course you're gonna tell the truth.
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's someone out here that has probably said, oh,
Speaker 1: your father is away fighting a war or something, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, like or.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm sure some people have you gotta tell the truth.
Speaker 1: Have made up stories, but I think you have to tell.
Speaker 2: The truth, all right, so says the question is is
Speaker 2: that reasonable or shady that she never told her child
Speaker 2: who the sperm doner was or that the child came
Speaker 2: from a sperm donor? Is that reasonable or shady? If
Speaker 2: you don't tell the child, that's shady, right, I believe so? Yes, yes, okay, yes,
Speaker 2: So she says she's in a similar situation, and she'd
Speaker 2: like to think that I was Robin on this one
Speaker 2: who said both it's reasonable and shady. Okay, guess that's
Speaker 2: what she said. My husband and I were not able
Speaker 2: to get pregnant the old fashioned way, we decide to
Speaker 2: go to a sperm donor. We now have a beautiful
Speaker 2: set of twins.
Speaker 1: Okay, but she has a husband, Yes see that's different, right, Okay, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking if it's like a single woman, yeah, in
Speaker 1: La LA's situation, single woman, single woman, yeah, does not
Speaker 1: have a partner, and it's just having a child on
Speaker 1: their own with a sperm donor. Yes, then you have
Speaker 1: to kind of say, yes, it's a sperm donor. But
Speaker 1: if you're married, married, do you tell? I don't think so,
Speaker 1: all right, but what so what was the time.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I was done with it.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I mean she basically was explaining that our twins,
Speaker 2: did they have twins? Our twins are now ten, and
Speaker 2: they do not know that they're a result of a
Speaker 2: sperm donor. Okay, so we are reasonably shady. No, but
Speaker 2: those twins don't know.
Speaker 3: That might be a problem. So you might want to
Speaker 3: tell your kids, Oh, don't listen to this in the
Speaker 3: car on the way. Does your school drop up?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: Yes, because we.
Speaker 3: Know I think that.
Speaker 2: I mean it's different, like yeah, like you said, like.
Speaker 1: Would you tell so they think they're they think they're
Speaker 1: the man that lives in the house, that they think
Speaker 1: their father is their father pretty.
Speaker 2: Much like Okay, let's say let's say me and Jason, right,
Speaker 2: and Jason's like, oh, I really want to have a baby,
Speaker 2: and so I was like, okay, well, we'll get a
Speaker 2: donor egg and we'll use historic and we'll go get
Speaker 2: a circut.
Speaker 3: Do I tell that child that.
Speaker 2: My portion is fraudulent or from someone else? Or do
Speaker 2: I just go with the fact that this, you know,
Speaker 2: do I It's tough, hard because that happens, right, because
Speaker 2: I feel like, okay, for purposes of like health reasons, DNA,
Speaker 2: you know, knowing health history.
Speaker 1: You kind of need to know that, especially as you
Speaker 1: get older, right, Yeah, but I think when they're little,
Speaker 1: it's just like, well you don't.
Speaker 2: Tell them when they too at some point you have to.
Speaker 2: I think you should tell you know what.
Speaker 1: I think you should tell them. Yeah, I think you
Speaker 1: should tell them as early as possible. Yes, help them
Speaker 1: understand so that they know that they're if they're in
Speaker 1: a loving household already, So you tell them as early
Speaker 1: as possible so that it's not like a shock when
Speaker 1: they're later, when it's later and they feel like they've
Speaker 1: been deceived.
Speaker 2: Yes, No, I think you tell them immediately, not immediately,
Speaker 2: but like as soon as they.
Speaker 1: Can because now, especially with like the whole ancestry dot
Speaker 1: com and twenty three and meters and yeah, you never know,
Speaker 1: like they could just go on and just be curious
Speaker 1: and put their stuff in and then they see like
Speaker 1: wait a minute, like this is saying you know, Bill
Speaker 1: and Montana is my father, but you know, I don't know.
Speaker 1: So I just I think and I think when you
Speaker 1: find out stuff like that later in life, it's more devastating. Well,
Speaker 1: I think a kid, a little young kid can understand
Speaker 1: it more, they can grasp it more. Yeah, and if
Speaker 1: and if they're in a loving household where they don't
Speaker 1: feel like that parent is treating them in differently.
Speaker 3: Right, then there's no harm.
Speaker 2: And I think that listen lies are the death of
Speaker 2: the growth and develop minute any child.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you know you.
Speaker 1: Gotta be honest, right like you can ruin your child's
Speaker 1: life by light and then and mad and don't speak
Speaker 1: to you forever and okay, yes, so.
Speaker 2: Get your ten get to talking to you to your twins.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's what we're saying.
Speaker 2: That's what we're saying. Ten is a good as a
Speaker 2: good age.
Speaker 1: I would have told them earlier. I would have told
Speaker 1: them at like three.
Speaker 2: What No, I would have like started, no, not three, five,
Speaker 2: maybe five, I.
Speaker 1: Don't know I would maybe That's what I'm saying. I
Speaker 1: feel like I would try to tell them as early
Speaker 1: as possible, so that just becomes.
Speaker 3: Like, you know, like it, so it just becomes like normal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think like five, three okay, yeah, no, that's
Speaker 2: a lot yeah five yeah, like seven, how do you explain.
Speaker 1: Okay, tell them when they're ten, now, I know, Okay,
Speaker 1: in school right, what year?
Speaker 3: What grade is it? When they do like the sex ad?
Speaker 3: Like five fifth grade? Fifth grade? That before that, tell
Speaker 3: them before or maybe.
Speaker 1: Tell them around the same so they can process what
Speaker 1: they're learning with their reality.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm here for that. Okay, but definitely not experts here,
Speaker 2: we're not experts. But definitely tell the children. I think
Speaker 2: the truth shall always set.
Speaker 3: You free sooner than later.
Speaker 2: Yes, and that is the reasonably shady way to do it.
Speaker 2: Bet tell them before they listen to episode Carly, what's
Speaker 2: all with a parenting expert?
Speaker 3: I don't want y'all to slave us. You can blame us.
Speaker 2: What number episode is this?
Speaker 3: This is one thirty eight.
Speaker 2: They need to know truth anyway. That is our show.
Speaker 2: We love you guys so much. Don't ever forget to
Speaker 2: live your life either reasonable or shady or both. Bye bye.
