1 In A Million!

I don't know, what's the word, spoiling us. Yeah, pretty, I mean not spoiling, just making us feel really good. Y'all are making us feel so freaking special. We like we did something, we did something good. I don't know, but y'all keep coming back week after week. We so totally appreciated. We had a little meeting with the powers that be at Black Effect and they gave us some exciting news. Yes, okay, so, and it's so crazy because this news is actually a few weeks overdue. Yeah, about

a month overdue. Yeah. But our little podcast that we started on an idea on whim has surpassed one million when million, Yes, downloads on in a million, one in the moon actually were tip and we had sound effects. The sound effects will be going on right now. I think we are I think we can get sound effects. Yes, yes, we get to make that happy. Yes. Um, that is

like so exciting. I mean, that's so exciting. We shared this on our Instagram the other day and and I literally said, you know, we had zero expectations for our podcast. We might say zero, I mean zero, like we've never done it before. We had never I was not a podcast listener. I really didn't know like what we were doing. We just said, hey, let's let's do this and let's

make it happen. And so the fact that our podcast has been downloaded over one melillion time, come on a melia millia millia million, Yes, that is like amazing, amazing in such a short period of time. And like, you know, we don't even know like what to compare our podcast to too, but from what we understand, when need union downloads and guys, just to put this in perspective, we're not even a year old. We're like we started in May somewhere, are we. I guess we're like now a

half a year old. Yes, we're half a year old, so and half a year a million of y'all just excited about us and want to listen to us. And we totally appreciate. We so appreciate it. And I think you know we have and I want to acknowledge just some people to show us love. We really appreciate the people that take the time out to number one review

and review on Apple. Thank you. That's so helpful. Um comment on our Instagram page, follow our Instagram page, send us d M. But I think it's awesome also when people actually take the time to write an email. I know sometimes I'm like, it's really awesome, But then I'm like a y'all board, which one is it? No, it's not that they're bored, it's just that they really really really want to share their sentiments. So before we get into our reasonably shady moments of the week, I want

to just read some emails. It's just kind of, you know, just solidifying that we did something right. So carry fund Okay, but that carry that was robbing at me. I'm sorry, You're gonna okay, sorry okay, she says, Hello, ladies, I have to say this out the box. Both of you ladies make my day brighter every day. Yes, I listened to you both on my commute to work and set the tone of my day. And the tone that is set is fabulous and empowered. You both are amazing. Please

don't stop like ever. Listen. I'm gonna get tired of Robin, so we're gonna stop at some point. But right now, I love Robbin. Yes, yes, we are good in the hood. She says, I've learned from listening to you both that it's okay to be yourself, whether it's reasonably one day or in shady the next. You both give realness and I thank you both so much. We all are blessed to have both of you in this world. Thank you, Thank you. Miss Carrie so sweet. It's like Carly is

over here crying and everything. Carly. Don't forget about Carly because she has. We have not come up with a difference. Carly is daving her tears. Thank you, carry We appreciate you for that. Yes, okay, I have another one to read. Real quick and short to the point. Alma Gormley says, love, love, love listening to your podcast for the first time. Just love it, and y'all are hilarious. I want to have a bff like you are. Oh, Alma, consider us your bff.

And speaking of that, like so many people used to say, I'm like the Gale to the Oprah, right, and so many people now are like, I'm the robbing to the gazelle to the robbin. Like that's so cute. I love that. That is so cute. That's funny, just like, oh my gosh, on them Halloween people dressed up as us. Yes, now that was funny. Y'all made me laugh, But that is

so crazy to me. I'm like, it was so people dressed up as as our reasonably shady background and Jason and the pink and then I also someone dressed up as me as the pizza man. Yes, I saw that. Now that was funny because they had they had the same dad jeans, right right? Did you get through that Walmart? Like I did? I mean, but but it's like you know, you've a ride when you're a halloweens, Listen, we have a ride, but we're here, yes, all right, give us one more of you? One more? Oh wait, hold on,

I might have two more. Oh okay, I think we only have time for one more rabbit girl. Okay, fine, we got nothing to do. Okay, we got to happen exactly. Let's get all okay, all right, I'm gonna okay, I'm gonna read the other one maybe a little bit later. Topics. Yes, I'm gonna do that, okay, okay, all right, excuse me, Elizabeth Lynn, what's up? Girl? Lynn says, Hello, Robin and Gizelle.

My name is Liz, and my college best friend Zorra and I are huge fans of the r H O P and y'all are our two all time favorite housewives. Whoop whoop. We listened to every single podcast, and you guys seriously make our mondays so much better. You guys are funny and so real, and it's so nice to really get to know you guys more through the podcast. We call each other as Justell says, we call each other Robbie and g for nicknames because we are both almost like you too. It's so funny, just so cute.

I was wondering if you guys would ever consider here doing a live podcast tour, because that would be amazing. I love you guys so much. Okay, that's like really interesting, that is, and I'm so happy that she sent that email because Jason I recently attended a live podcast. We went to The Horrible Decisions. There are podcast sisters on the Black Effect Network. Yes, we went to their live podcasts in d C. And we were inspired. Yes, we

were so inspired. Okay, So they were at the Howard Theater and it was like maybe a six hundred person venue and they were jumping into the crowd. Okay, so they're horrible Decisions like w h O R E whore. Okay, so there's a bit sexual. That's kind of like not us. However, I loved like them being up close and personal with their fans. Love it and it was awesome to me. It was it was packed, the energy was amazing, and I really was sitting there like wow, like could we

do this? I think we can do it? Could we do this? And so it's so crazy like getting this email from Elizabeth just two days ago. Yeah, I'm like, oh maybe, yes, let us know if we should do it? A B. What city do you live in? Where city should we come? Where should we go? Yes? And I'm thinking just because you know, like of course we would start at home, right, but I'm thinking like a New York definitely, maybe what Atlanta? Atlanta and we're going down

to the to the dirty year. Maybe a Houston, I don't know, West coast here we come back, yes, talk to us so let us know where we should be. Should we do it? Or are we delusional? We're not. I'm not delusional. I don't live in the land of delusion. Okay, we save other people today. I don't mind a reality check. If we're like, you know, we're talking a little too much, let us know. If you're like, all right, ladies, summer down,

we ain't all that. Let me know. All right, speaking of not being delusional, we were graced, okay, by the way season six all right, h P, it's a rap like you guys showed up every week on Sundays at eight o'clock. Thank you so much for watching. This was a phenomenal season and we ended it, of course with miss Nicki and Nikki nick nick Nick Nicki, Nicki, you came through hold any punch, pulling punch. She didn't held back. She did her thing. Yeah, yeah, she did her things.

And really, to be honest with you, the what the version that y'all saw on TV was was very watered down because that Nikki came through. Okay, and we were there for hours like with her, like it was just so amazing. We sat there how long with Nikki? Yeah, a long time, very a long time. Okay. So that that ties us into the reasonable or shady moment of the week week week week for me, So I'm gonna go okay, so you know, and we don't talk about the show just because you know, like we leave the

show alone. However, so as Nicki Minaj was, the show was playing and she was doing her thing, the Twitter fingers got to be moving with with the world. Okay, the world decided to annihilate and slam bam on top of the head somebody that was sitting on the other side of Nikki. Okay, And that for me was the shadiest thing I was reading. And it was funny to me. Oh my god, I loved everything on Twitter that I read about the Real Housewives of the Tone Make I

missed it. Can you tell me what they said? I'm not gonna tell you what they say, but let me tell you this. Y'all, y'all out here in the Twitter world, y'all are so shady and y'all are so funny, and I want you all to know a lot of times y'all are shading me, and I'm cool with that, but this time it wasn't me, it was somebody else. Hey, guess what it was funny to me. So, y'all Twitter, people do your thing. Y'all are shady and I love

every second. That's hilarious. See, I I avoid Twitter at all, calls so so do I. But like this time, like in particular, I was like, let me see was popping here? And it was you got your life? I got my entire Twitter does not disappoint No, that's funny. That's so funny. It's so funny when people are like robbing, what do you think about what they said on Twitter? I'm like, I don't know. I'm like, what is the like ignorance is bliss? For real? Like I don't know what y'all

saying about me? Again, I don't care? Okay, yeah, so yes, what is your shady moment of So my shady moment of the week goes to myself because he was just a mess. Okay. I have an online shopping problem and I kind of had it before, but I blame Instagram for this because like you're scrolling Instagram and you're like, you know, oh, that's cute and it says, you know,

shop now, you're go and buy it whatever. Yes, I have shopped so much that I literally have twelve packages in my bedroom that I have not opened, like like and and it's weird, like I'll buy them, they'll come and they'll just sit there, so it's like I'm just shopping, but I'm not like they've literally been sitting there for like a week. Okay, Yes, so I literally have twelve boxes piled up in my bedroom that I need to open that I'm just like, I'll get to it one day.

And it's literally like random stuff like a soup. Why don't mind a new soup? Like okay, but this is the same woman that had a problem with Wan Dixon wan Antonio not putting his clothes away, And now you have boxes in the bedroom and I have boxes and the and they're piling up and it's ridiculous and it's so weird. It's like I'll buy like it's it's Instagram. I'll see something and i'll buy it and I'll forget that I bought it, and then I'm like, I don't, like,

why am I even buying all this stuff? Because I have so much crap already, right, and there's a supply chain issue. And because I'm not getting a thing, okay, I've been doing what it's all kinds of ain't coming well yeah right, and that's the thing. I also have stuff on back order, so I'll just get a random package and I'm like, well where did this come from?

So yeah, so I'm shady because like I have all these boxes piled up and I'm not opening Okay, But the question is, has said anything to you about it about cleaning this up? He that's not, well, you know what actually kind of has He's like because because I also get on him for shopping. Okay, this is the most dysfunctional relationship robbing and wine half okay, and we're gonna move on. We're just gonna move on, Okay. So we do have to mention because it was so very

sad that Virgil Ablow passed away so unexpected. Apparently he had been struggling with a rare heart disease. I believe, like something like a heart cancer, blood disease, something like that, very rare, very aggressive. They say, the guy that we don't mention his name, Kanye, We don't mention him, but we have to mention him this time, because you know,

clearly they were very good friends. And I immediately when I heard that virtual pass, im meanly thought about Kanye, and I was like, oh my gosh, she's in the fetal position right now, kim Go finds him, please he needs help. Um. And it seems like that has it has pulled them together, um and she's you know, very much there for him. But it also made me think if I was told like I had a year to live, like, what would you do? Yeah? What I would? I not

tell my family what I tell my family. So I'm wondering, Like, for those of you don't know he passed away, he had cancer. He was diagnosed in twenty nineteen. Apparently didn't really tell anyone correct, So so when he passed away, everyone was so shocked because they didn't even know he was sick. And to be honest, like the pictures that I've seen of him, he looked great. He didn't look sick.

And my friend Aba, she was recently somewhere overseas like a month ago, and his video of him at like a fashion show and it was fine and he was totally fine. So it's just kind of like wow, like you know, you you really really really never know what's going on in someone's life. But um, like you do wonder like, Okay, did he maybe tell certain people the way everybody is devastated? I don't. I don't think it

seems like no one knew. Maybe obviously his wife. Yeah, but maybe he just maybe he's just the type he's like, you know what I'm going to like, he didn't Maybe he didn't want people to fawn over him because he was sick. Definitely, That's how I didn't want to be reminded that he was sick every day. Yeah, so I think if I'm sick, guys, I'm not saying anything, but I'm not sick. I'm going to be here for a

long time, all right. But that was But I also think, then you think about the people that I love you and you communicate with on a regular basis, it's like you to think about them like that's almost not fair to them. It's a hard spot. Yeah. So I wonder if there's people that are mad at him, Well, would you be mad at somebody that because they didn't allow you to like say your goodbye or really you know what I mean? Okay, fine, I'll tell people if I

get sick. Okay, okay, But then I was confused. So I saw pictures of like them at a Louis Viton fashion show because he was like the head designer for Louis Vitton or something, and I'm like, was this fashion show already in the works or did they pull this together? I think in the past couple of days. I think

they pulled it together. I think it seemed like because Louis Vitton put out a statement and it seemed like this was Virgil's wishes, right, So like it seemed like Louis Batton was honoring his wishes and giving him a like journey in the life of Virgil fashion show, okay, and everybody came out. Everybody showed up and showed out, and it was amazing. But that statue there was like this huge statue of him, like huge, and I was trying to figure out, like, how did y'all pull that

off that quickly? Right? Yeah, so maybe somebody knew, some like someone new, but not everyone. Right. It actually made me also think of Chadwick because nobody knew Chadwick was sick. But then but he looks it and so they made sense, right, So but this one. It's like he didn't look sick. You know, he was like out and about like like I said, a few a month ago. Um, so that's that's kind of that's really sad, but it's interesting. It's like, you know, it makes you think, you know, like I promise,

no Tomorrow's not promise now at all. And guess what, you have to live your life. You got to live your life. Okay, Wendy Williams, So she has clearly made an announcement that she's no longer returning to her talk show, but the talk show is going on with guest hosts, right, like they're trying people out, right, But okay, I don't at this point, I don't get it right. Why is it still on? Why is it still on? Wendy said she's coming back, so it's never gonna be the wind.

She said that. She actually said she's not coming back. Yeah, they made an announcement she's not coming back. Oh so so the Wendy Williams show is talk show is done? So then why why are we still on with like guest host? Yes, so they're saying that Sherry Shepherd is like a front runner, so wouldn't it be the Shepherd Show because I would I would not take that job if it was the Wendy Williams Show and has a guest hose forever, Like what is that? Like that don't

make no sense. Clearly they are trying to figure it out. I feel like they don't want to give up that stay and they're just trying to favre it what to do with it. But honestly, I don't think. I don't think you can really like replace that like that, Like it's just you know, like that's not going to work because I haven't watched like since well, I kind of stop watching her like a little while ago. Um, but I feel like I definitely won't watch if it's like

some other person. If it's some other person and it's still to that. Yes, okay, but Wendy, whatever it is that you're going through, we we wish you the best, absolutely, But I would watch the gel Bryant Show. Oh so maybe you should go try out and then they'll change the name. I don't know. I don't know about that. I think Sherry Sherry has got it in the bag now, okay, Okay, So that's that's Robin being shady And speaking of shady

I'm about to be shady, okay. Kevin Hart, Kevin Hearts are so Kevin Hard had a little interview That's not my boy, That is so not my boy. So can you be another one? We don't ever talk about this. This is the last time we're talking about Kevin Heart. But I did see his little Netflix special True Story, which was very predictable but good. Okay. So he had a little interview with Gayle King and Gail As said

to him, Oh, at forty five, you're forty two. Now forty five you said you want to be a billionaire, and he was like, yeah, I want to do it to send an example for the kids. Who is side eyed? Eyesighting? What's that called side side? I side side? No, you know what I'm doing. I'm rolling eyes, rolling the eyeballs. Cavin us a lot. That is all. That is all for his ego, for his ego, it ain't it's not about inspiring the kids. But now the kids should already

be inspired by what he's accomplished, and it's not. There's not there's not a price tag attached. No, like, oh they're not They're not going to be inspired at one hundred million or two hundred million, a billion. That's an inspiration. That's that's what I'm inspiring about your ego. You want to keep up with the Joneses, the jay Zs and the who who who had been Dwayne Didroc Johnson? Like I'm trying and it's so crazy. Who oh my god. I mean he's cute though he can he can put

that Hawaiian down. You want that beefcake on you? Is he a beefcake? The beef is a beefcake. Me. I just want it's just all just big and muscular. And it's like, do you think his penis muscular? No, the penis shrinks up? What have to the penis? I think relatively right because he's on steroids probably so the steroids have shrunken his penis. So you wanna get this big old muscle blob on top of you and you can't

even find the penis. Listen, I want to find out. Okay, the way if you're available to come on, let me know if you find out. But I believe he's married. Maybe. Oh, but they're having back to Kevin Hart in his hole trying to inspire the youth. Yes, having problems. Yeah, that I just made that up. I'm sorry to way, Okay anyway, So I just feel like, look, Kevin, um, you are an asshole the end. Yeah, it's all about his ego.

It's all about his ego and and this. It kind of reminds me of a memory that I have with Je Souan and I met in high school. Um, he's from Baltimore. He really, I'm from Baltimore too, So but he had he hadn't really ventured out outside of Baltimore, you know, like the city that surrounding areas. And one day we drove out Howard County went looking at mansions. Okay, nice, I like that. I like those drives Sunday and drive.

And there was his inspiration for he was so like he had never seen in person, huge big houses, and so that was the moment for him that he was inspired. So what I'm saying is these kids in the inner city or wherever you're from, ke they don't need a billionaire to inspire them. It could just be something just as little as going outside of your neighborhood and seeing something different. So cut out the egotistic bull crack. Cut

it out, Kevin, where aren't you? And guess what we have put you in the same category as Kanye West. We're no longer talking about you ever again. This is the last time you're on the last book. Bye, Kevin and Kanye. There we go anyway, the freak on somebody, but we are going to talk about over and over again. And her name is ease On the baby. Her name is Adele. So guess what, guys, Adele has announced she's going to do a Vegas residency. Now I know you

don't love a Dele like I know. I'm like, Okay, if if I need to put myself to sleep, I'll take some sleeping pills. Okay, I'm not paying eight that was in dollars and put myself to sleep. Okay, guess what, I'm saving my coins, saving my how much do we do? We have a guess or how much these tickets are going to be? Okay. So I've been stalking ticket Master and I don't think that they're available yet because I think that they're they said they're saying all sold out.

So I don't think that they're available yet. But guess what, I don't care what it is. Adele. I am there. I'm going to be standing up singing right with you. One ticket, ten thousand dollars. No, Robin, I'm not there. No, I'm not thinking five thousand. I could spend a good fifteen hundred because I have to bring somebody with so probably like three thousand, and you know, I gotta fly there, I gotta stay, I gotta shop. Yeah, this is a

good ten thousand dollar trip. Okay, yes, ok Yeah, to go to sleep Man to hear the same song, Adele, different words over Robin and shady a f Adele, I believe in your song and found the same. I will be there and Robin can go to h Okay on this one. I'm fighting her on this one. Moving on, no background dancings. She doesn't need a background dancer. I can't to ask, right, I'm not bringing robbing nowhere near Adele and and Adele me you're on one accord, Okay.

I love your your the sound of your voice. It is amazing. So let me tell you a quick story. So last time Adele came to town, she came a d C to do a performance, and I knew she was coming like months in advance, and I bought a ticket for myself then like weigh in advance. So then once the show started or like you know zoom I was dating Sherman and he was like, so I was like, yeah, I'm gonna go see it down tomorrow. He was like what who? And I was like myself and he was

like what do you mean? And he was like, so you're not We're not going together. And I was like, dude, this sold out and I don't have a ticket for you. He was so mad at me, really, and like after the show was over, you know how you want to talk to somebody about the show? He didn't answer, this is this, this is this is this is negros And so the next day I was like, dude, you didn't ask your phone. I called you, like after the show he said, I put my phone on the other side

of the room. Why now you sat like okay, what are you talking about? Okay, next time, like why would you buy a ticket? Just like you could have found

someone to go with you? Well, the tickets was very expensive when I was on a budget, so my mind probably cast like eight hundred dollars and I thought that was a lot, right, Okay, So you weren't like, Okay, let me just buy two and I'll find someone to go with me and they're gonna pay me the eight hundred because you're like, we're gonna du no no one. So I just bought my own one ticket. I was happy and it was great. You enjoyed. It was amazing.

You see I'm flying to Vegas. Yeah, Okay, we're moving on because Robin, it's poop point on my dreamer. Okay, so you I know that she wanted to talk about this. This coach from Michigan State who signed this deal, right, yeah, over ten years. It's ninety five million, the largest contract in college sports. What's code? What's his name? Um, brother man mel talk Tucker. He's black. That's like din Mary. I just gotta ask for the people. The people want to know. I don't want to know the people. The

people want to know. Okay, well, do you like Michigan Michigan? I was called in Michigan. I like cute in a fir? Yeah yeah yeah, Okay, So this is amazing, amazing. So he obviously has been winning several seasons, but he was just named the Big Ten Coach of the Year. Um, so he's had and you know football is huge out there, Yes it is huge, but it's just like college sports and just being a coach. It's a very fickle industry. Yes.

So the fact that he's been able to secure a contract like that and he's a black man, he's had this success like that is amazing. And all I can say is go one go go one go, go, one go go, because one day that's going to be one Pray to God. I mean, but like, that's his dream is really to be so successful. Not it's not even about the money. It's more about the fact that you've achieved that type of success that you can be awarded that type of contract. Yeah. So so he's he's got

big dreams, y'all. But no, but this is this is major. It's big. Um. And then I mean, but then on the flip tell you like thank you' not that type of money to coaches and these kids are just you know, oh and there's running around for their college scholarch. But there's a movie coming out about it or is it like, um, there's something coming out about that, or is it like about that whole the kids like rebelling. I can't we had to figure out, yeah, something coming out about it.

I just just there's so much money in college sports and it's just you it's unfair. Well you know, now they're able to like they're able to secure like their own like endorsement deals. So that's a good things major and that's going to really help the game too, because like before, people were trying, like the kids if they weren't able to make money while they're in college and they're like, oh, well, i'm gonna go pro earlier, I'm gonna go overseas, I'm going to do this, I want

to do that. So now hopefully that'll keep more of them in college sports. Okay, Well, speaking of endorsement deals, Beyonce and Ivy Park she got a nice little new video out and Beyonce I was confused, says. I was confused because you know, we love Beyonce, but she was holding a daughter that I thought was Blue, and I

was like, why are you holding Blue? Look the de like four times and not realizing that's a whole another child and she looks just like just like Blue, who looks just like her Beyonce, Like, it's so like the Mick. They they're jeans, like you see Beyonce and you see jay Z and it's like but then they're all like

the same person. You see a mix y Yeah yeah, yeah, Um, I was like, wow, right, and I loved it because we didn't really see room me like I think before it would be like her back, so I think it's the first time we were looking at her face. Yeah, she's acutie. She's acutie. But you know, you come to Shady Park, that child is a little too big for Beyonce were holding that the whole five year old. They watched holding that baby like that because that is her baby. Now.

She doesn't have any other any others that are younger than her. This is her baby with that baby now Beyonce. Robin said, put the baby down. But if you want to hold your baby, Beyonce, you can do whatever you want. Is your name is Beyonce, could be okay if that was Blue that she was holding Blue, it's it's damn it's tall as she's tall and long and and her face has like I think at first she looked more like jay Z and now she's looking like I see a lot more Beyonce in her. But they're so Yeah,

the love it. Yeah, I did love all that. And by the way, Beyonce, feel free to send me and Robin somebody bark because we try to get it and it's also doubt. Yes, and it's really cute. It's very cute. I love the patterns and them, the ploids and the hound's tools. Super cute. Love some um And speaking of babies, is Rihanna pregnant? See you one of them? What's one of them? One of the rude ass people that go

on people's pictures and saying, oh, you pregnant girls? Because she ate too much spaghetti, because she bloated on her period, she gained a few pounds, and angent, oh are you pregnant? Are you prag Let me say this, it's more than just her stomach and her boobs look a little big too, and she might be on her period. Okay, true, Okay, I don't care. Okay, I'm not judging. I'm not judging if she If she just want to live in her

life and she gained a couple of pounds, that's cool too. Yes, But I think it's so rude because it's so funny. It was like two days in a row was like Rihanna. Well, the first day was like Courtney Kardashian posted a picture and swimsuit and then people are like, oh are you pregnant? And that in Courtney actually replied, like, does every picture have to have a reply of like, are you pregnant? She didn't even look pregnant. She's in water, like literally,

Like it's just it's just so rude. But then I think about like people, Okay, I think people, and it just shows you that people really feel like like you can say whatever, celebrity true, because I want to believe that most people have some sort of you know, decorum in tact about them, and they want to just say that on their friend Mary's picture, saying like you're scrolling you see your college friend Mary and she looks a little bloated or like she picked up a couple of pounds.

Are you going to write on her picture? Mary, girl, are you pregnant? Who does that? I don't know. I was just okay, fine, I was wrong for asking, Yes, you're rude because people do that to me. Look, I got a little fopa, I got a little pouch and anytime.

And it's so crazy now to the point where it's like if I take a picture and I can see it and I'm like, man, these people want to say I'm pregnant, Like I'm not pregnant, Okay, I'm just bloated one to add a little pouch because I already have two kids and I didn't get it, you know, sucked and toughed and all that, and Okay, Rihanna, I'm sorry. If I'm part of the problem, I'm sorry, but I just want to say that her and if her and Ap had a baby, be so cute. You're saying, I think,

so thank you? What what? Okay? Okay, so so shady. Carly D just put up a picture of Rihanna and she's over here like rereas pregnant, but we're gonna listen. Whatever she is, re is loving life. Yes, by the way, okay, have you ever caught one of her Instagram videos where she's putting on makeup? Yes? I like it. I become like mesmerized. I'm like, what the hell, We'll tell you

mesmerized her voice. Yes, maybe that's what it is when you're like watching it and I'm like find myself like staring, like as if I don't know how to put on makeup, And I'm like, but listen, listen, if really is pregnant, we're clearly never getting an album out of her. I think that's a that's been around, that's been a rap, it's been something. She's selling makeup in her sleep. She has to like actually perform on stage to make money in the music industry. She's not going back, true, unless

it's just for fun. Okay, that's very true. Okay, Okay, So, um, I do want to talk about one other thing before we get into the real purpose of this entire um episode. Okay, we are the purpose. Okay. So anyway, you know how you scroll through Instagram and you're like scrolling, scrolling and then something stops you. Okay, So Viola Davis, who, by the way, I love. I think Viola Davis is absolutely

beautiful and um she's like the best actress by the way. Um, and I don't think she gets the credit that she deserves or and or the money, but she's starting to get the money that then white girls are getting. So Viola, kudos to you. Do you think she would like Michelle Obama in the picture? Yes? Okay, in real life just Viola looked like Michelle Obama. No, but the way that they made her up, she kind of died like one

of the pictures just and another one. I was like, Okay, So for for anyone who doesn't know we're talking about she's playing Michelle Obama in like a bio pick or something. Yes, And there definitely was one pick where I was like, mm okay, I just get it. And there was another pick I was like, no, are You're trying too hard? So I'm like to watch it. Okay, we got to see it in action. We know that Viola can pull it off because she can pull off anything. I want

to see how she sounds. Is she gonna sound like a job Robin shading the guy? Okay? Speaking of biopics, and you know we've talked about Will and Jada. Will Smith put his foot into King Richard. Oh yeah, you went to see it. I went to go see it. Will Smith was phenomenal. Like I'm not necessarily I like Will Smith as a person. I don't think he's a great actor. I don't think he did a good job with Mohammed or with he did the Pursuit of Happiness that was pretty good, But like this King Richard, he

deserves an Oscar for this. He was hands down phenomenal. It was an amazing movie. So I'm definitely telling people go see it. Venus and Serena are I just I took my daughters to see for the for the sheer fact that you know, there's such idols and icons, and I don't think that they get the credit that they deserve from Little Black Girls. My kids learned so much from the movie about Okay, right, we want to talk about inspiration. Kevin Heart want to inspire people to be

in a billionaire. You know, I've always believed Venus and Serena were huge inspirations for young black girls and black boys in the city to say, oh, I can play that sport too, right, Like that an inspiration? Yes, I mean majorly inspirational. I love the movie. It just made me feel like I want to call Serena and talk to her, but we're not friends. Okay, I can't call Serena. Make sure I watch it and remember I have I have an email to read about Will Smith. Okay, now

read it now? Do we want to read it now? And then we'll talk about Sandraw. Okay. So I have to maybe apologize because I think a few podcasts ago, I think, yeah, I think I was poop pooling on Will Smith's book. No, you shipped on him. Okay, that's poo poo poo in the same thing. I just wanted people to be clear. Okay, alright, fine, I was poop pooing on the book because I was like, oh my god,

you're telling too much. I'm I've practically read the book in the in the damn you know, Instagram headlines and all that, Like what I need to read a book for? And why are you sending a book with a you know, Charlotte Maagne with all the nonsense around it. What he did major marketing for his book and Robin said that it was stupid. Okay, moving on anyway. I we received an email and this is why we appreciate our listeners, because you're gonna check us. So Crystal Alicia Austin said, Hi,

my favorite ladies, love your podcast and love you. I am Baltimore born, Boo boo, what's up and raised and feel like we are friends. We are friends, Yes, we're friends. Anyway, I'm listening to the November November podcast right now and I'm just writing to tell you that Will Smith's book is a must read, must and all capital must yes, all capitals, or listen to or must listen to if you like audiobooks. I've listened to the audio book twice. What very inspiring, take good care and let me know

if you want to have lunch, love Crystal. So what I appreciate that. Yeah, So it's good to know that there's like because honestly, you know, and I guess it's like I should know better. Like all the headlines we read, it's for the attention, like the wow factor, the but to hear that his book is inspiring and it's a must read. And she listened to it twice, like, Okay, I'm going to give it a chance, please, Robin, because you know I'm I am a reader. But I did

go see the movie again. Will did his thing. So anyway, moving on back to Sandra Bullock, and she was on Viola Davis's page. So the genesis of what Sandra was saying was like, look, I have a black son that I am raising. I don't know how old he is, maybe his ten maybe. Anyway, so the boy was about to put or put a hoodie on and was about to leave the house, and Sandra was like, ho ho ho ho um, sir, let's talk about this, like, you're

a black boy. You will be viewed differently by the world when you have on this hoodie than white boys. And you need to be aware of this. And she's like, you know, I'm all about making sure that my kids have information because information is power. So I was like, wow, that's amazing, because you know, Sandra, because a white woman, she's raising a black boy and off the gate, that's got to be extremely difficult. And by the way, this

is the point of our episode today. We're talking about like raising the difference between raising boys and girls, because I y'all know, I have three girls, and I didn't think twice. My girls were hoodies all the time, and I would never think twice about them wearing the hoodie outside and thinking that that might put them in danger. Right, Um, but Robin, you have boys, Yeah, I have boys. So well. First of all, back to Sandra Bow, Like before I talk about my perspective, I could imagine her as a

white woman raising a black child. She probably actually experiences a little more stress and anxiety then maybe black mothers do because she really doesn't know, you know what I mean, and her and she doesn't you know. Hopefully she has a community of support that she can like get advice from. But I really feel like when you're like, it's almost like she's in a world that's like so new to her, so it's like she doesn't really know, she's not familiar she,

you know. But anyway, so I think that's great that she's at least aware and she's communicating with her child. But I'm hoping that she has some black male figure in her child's life that can actually speak from experience as well, because it's one thing to like hear someone tell you something, and then it's another when you actually like experience it or you talk to someone who's experienced it.

So so I'm hoping that she she has him around people that can speak from their personal perspective, um, because he might be like whatever, I you know what she talking about? You know, like who knows? I don't know, but um, but yeah, from me with my boys, you know, I'll be honest. Like my Like I've said this before, my boys are kind of sheltered. We don't really let them go out and about many places without us, you

know what I mean. So, but what we expressed to our kids is listen, you are black boys, and you have to be very careful with everything that you do because you hear stories about you know, um, black athletes who have been accused of rape and they go to jail and then you find out, oh, the girl was lying,

and it's like, so, I'm so I tell this. So my thing is more like, be very careful what you do, who you're around, what your friends are doing, like, make sure you separate yourself if you if you can recognize like that, this can go bad. So I make them very aware of that. As black boys, the magnifying glass is a lot bigger on them, and to be very careful. But but also I think part of us just worrying

about our kids, Like we really don't. We don't let them just go over anybody's house, and we don't let them hang out at them all or hang out you know, like the stuff that I used to do. They're not doing that yet. But they're also what Corey is in eighth grade. And actually I feel like, well, we all know I was doing stuff in seventh grade, Yes we do, so, yeah, so, but I but I think that's going to be our message. Just always be aware that people are watching and you

don't even realize it. You don't even realize and there's there's a difference in how they will be viewed by the world. Right, um, okay, But let's get into like when you go to the grocery store, I'm sure, Like I have girls and they don't really eat that much. But like I was talking to a guy who who does have three boys. He might I might even be dating him, who knows, but anyway, he has three boys, and he's like, um, he has to buy like if he buys a rotistie chicken, he has to buy two

because they're gonna eat two in one sitting. I'm like, my kids will just eat a little piece of legs, right, what are you talking about? I have that rotissary for a week. What are you saying? So, like, do you find that they your kids eat a lot? Well, they're not quite there yet, especially Carter. Well it's weird. It's like they don't they like to snack a lot. They're not gonna eat like a ton in one sitting. I think they're going to get there. I still think mine

are kind of young. I think once they get into high school that's when it really really goes crazy. So okay, get ready to get ready, I know, right, And I'm just almost like I can't wait till they actually can start driving and getting I hate going to the grocery store, like I hate that hate so like, yeah, when they can go get their own food that I'll give you the money, just just go do it. But anyway, but so so mine are like a little bit younger. Um,

Carter is like he thinks he's Gordon Ramsey. He is. That's why we saw him cooking on your Instagram. So he's making his own food. Well, no, he's just being very critical of food. Yes, okay, he wants food that tastes good. He says he likes going to his grandmother's house because she cooks so food, like he wants like hardy real you know where I'm trying to cook all hell, oh, here's your chicken breast and your broccoli and your rice. He's like, I want some fried chicken and mac right,

oh my god. Okay, we're gonna we're gonna pray for Carter. Yes, yes, I'm right. He's gonna have to learn how to make it himself because I'm not frying chicken right, Okay. So this is this is the last one because I and I were actually talking about this on the phone the other day. So at the day after Thanksgiving, I'll meet and Jamal tell our kids give us your Christmas list, like,

I'm not the one to be fooling with them. Stores late in December, and I order everything off offline, so I need to order it soon just in case, especially because were having a supply chain. I need to order it now. Okay, So they gave me all their lists, guys. Now, they gave their fathers some other things, but my list. I ordered everything. Yeah, I spent like three for three girls, for three girls, three girls because now, and I thought, I was like, oh my god, I'm getting over like

a fat ca. So they have all of these websites for girls like little Dress like Little Um Polly Princess and um even like Forever twenty one and Fashion Nova and all these little stuff that they wear, and dresses cost nine dollars and not nonsense. And I'm down for the nine dollars and nine as for them right so, and plus they're gonna grow, They're still growing, They're gonna go out of it. We ain't really trying to spend a whole lot of money on on their little dresses

and their um shorts and their tops. But guys, oh my gosh, I wish I wish I could do that. I on the other hand, like guys, the kids, it's like nothing for the boys. Nothing you go and I always hate it. Like I'll go to Target and I'll be walking through a little girls section, you know, passing the girls section. I'm looking and I'm like, dang, like I would wear this stuff. Yeah, it's cute, so much

cute stuff. And then I go into boys section and it's like two sizes left of like a brown T shirt that says like rock on Dude or something, you know what I mean. I'm like, oh what, So it's horrible. So my kids literally only were Nike for the most part, like Nike or Zara. Zara is good for boys. But still it's like, you know, I can't I can't buy a ten dollar you know, dress or whatever. I gotta buy the you know, a shirt and some jeans and some sweatpants. Then they want the damn Nikes Corey put.

So I got my kids on Elfster, which I told you about to to create their wish list for Christmas. And I told them, I said, if y'all don't put anything on this wish list, you're not getting anything for Christmas. List. I'm not playing this guessing game. I'm not Okay, so it's up to them to put stuff on their wish lists. So I went and I looked at Corey's wish lists and he started to put stuff on there, and he had a pair of four hundred dollar Nike dunks. What's

a dunk a tennis shoe. Yeah, it's like a tennis shoe. And what Carly has on those are air Force ones. Those are called dunks. Same thing. Okay, I don't know why these ones are four hundred dollars. Maybe it's the supply chain issue and they're in the rand or something. But literally, I'm like, like, what that one thing is more than I spent exactly exactly, and then core the other I bought him a coat. How much I spent on that coat? Two hundred dollars two hundred dollar Nike

coat for one coat? Where you could go to Target and get your girls a cute little coat and they're gonna be happy, right, But you know they don't they once? Are they do? Ones are bizarre for girls? Is cheat? Right? Yeah? I mean it's good prices here. So this is the difference between parenting girls and bullys. I feel like I'm

getting over right now. They don't eat and all their clothes are real jeap now, but I know when I when they get over, they're gonna hit me over the head like a Gucci bag exactly, And Mommy, can I have? And I'm gonna be like no, no, as your daddy. That's what daddies are for. Yes, um, but they did. They did give their dad all of their shoes, like all their Nikes on that kind of stuff. They get that to him. I was like, good, well that's nice. Yeah,

but it's so funny, even like jewelry. I saw this, um what was it, Chad Ocho Sinko he tweeted something. Oh so there was a rapper that like tweeted a picture of his new diamond stuff and they cost like three dollars or something, and Chad was like, dude, I gotta say it once, but like fifteen dollars. Like Claire's like that, Chad is not lying, No, he's not. Because then someone like pulled up an old clip from the HBO Hard Knocks and they literally followed him two claires

and he was buying diamond stuff. So it's like stuff like that. Like, okay, girls, boys, whatever, like y'all can if you want to humble yourselves like my kids. I could. I could by my kids some sketches, okay, if I know they ain't wearing them sketches. If that's all they had, that's what they're gonna wear. Okay. I appreciate Chad because he's letting the people know. Like, first of all, especially rappers, you don't know when your next check is coming. So

like y'all a hit today, gone tomorrow. Do we know what money bag Yo raps about? No gee herbo, no little baby baby, We don't know. And when they get these stupid necklaces that are like, it's one thing, okay, you might have some value in in a real diamond stuff or whatever, but when you get these stupid ass necklaces with like you know, your big name plate listen rappers that you can't even sell. That save your money, save your money, you live and learn. Yes, But anyway,

that is our show. You guys are so amazing. We thank you so much. Don't ever forget live your life reasonable or shady both and Robin was shady today.
