Okay, so we need to read one of our Okay, so we have it reasonable or shady. Yeah, and by the way, guys, send us some more. We love reading your reasonable or shady scenarios. Yes, we do, because we are reasonably shady. Okay, this says Hi, Robin and Giselle. Yeah, this is from AVA. I have some drama and want your opinion on whether it is reasonable or shady. My friend moved in with her boyfriend of two years. Her

Whow Actually this is good, right, I'm like this shady, all right, just shady already.

Her ex doesn't visit the house at all.

No, he does not.

Yeah, there's a reason. Yeah, Okay, even I mean, I feel like the fact that her ex boyfriend's dad.

Is dating.

Whatever, yeah, his son's ex girlfriend. Yeah, that just tells you they probably had a shitty relationship. Yeah you know what I'm saying, Like the dad and the boyfriend.

Yeah.

Okay.

So she suggested to her boyfriend the dad that they should move everything out of her ex's childhood room and let her use it to store some of her stuff and let her use it as her personal office lounging room. Her boyfriend the dad agreed, so they boxed up, with my help, Ava's help, everything in her ex boyfriend's childhood room and moved them to the garage, including the furniture.

What.

She redecorated the room and made it hers very cute and cozy before she even moved his things. But before she even moved his things, she messaged her ex about it and told him he should come by. She did not the dad, right, she did, she did, Okay, this is all this all get back, This is insane.

This get back. She he made her mad, and she was like, yeah, right, I'm gonna get you I'm a.

Dad and move into your childhood or Okay, So this should not be a question of is this shady?

Yes?

Hell, yeah shady.

It's actually the shady and so shame but I love every second of it, right, Okay.

It's beyond shady. Yeah okay.

So so she messaged him and told him about it and told him he should come by and take a look at what he wants to keep and or sell and or donate. After not hearing from him for three weeks, he texted her, calling her all sorts of names and clearing out and taking his room. Yes, she says, she's really trying to be sensitive and nice, but he is making this very difficult with his rage filled outbursts in texts.

What's her name?

I don't a friend's name? No, Oh, she's the person that wrote in Yes is Ava?

Oh? Ava?

Is not this?

You just should have She should have stayed away and not done it now. Is it shady for clearing his room out? If this is a childhood home? So I think about my childhood room right that I never go in.

She would not.

Well, Robin may may do it.

But Robin may say, well, how long do I have to stay there? It would be a different experience. I can teach them how to steal forks and eat food by shopping in the grocery store. He loel anyway, I'm being shady, but I will be watching the show. Reality TV is my comic relief. Your podcast gives me life. Bring a live show to Texas.

Okay.

So this is the premise of the show. It is a reality show about fading celebrities who were hot back in the day and how they live their day to day lives in one Los Angeles mansion.

Eight celebrity strangers are invited to the real life villa in Meta Yine, Columbia for a healing getaway that will change and bond them forever. Each day of their stay, they'll be given secret missions that push them out of their comfort zones throughout their time here, they'll confront their fears and reveal their deepest secrets.

Okay, I mean.

Listen, you only live once, okay.

And Rob I said, never say now.

That's how I ended up on the other TV show that I was on, because when the opportunity was presented to me, I said, you only live once, so why not do something that you never imagine doing, you know, in your life?

Right?

And I understanding that I ended up on that show. Yeah, and I'm happy that you're on that show. Now, people are y'all are writing us years eight years, eight years, y'all are writing us, writing us, asking for since Robin is no longer on that show that she was on, for Robin to give all the tea because she can now because she's not actually obligating, and I'm telling y'all right now stop because y'all trying to give me.

This was like a week later, and he's like, hey, I just want you to know that you know that time that you asked me to leave it. I was with my boss that day and I couldn't oh. And I was like, oh, okay, now I get that, as I said, but I did get it, and he was like yeah, okay, and then he gave me something else and he left and I was like, I think I'm turned on by the ups man.

Okay, Okay, I know it sounds crazy, but you have to try it. I ordered him a forty ounce black one, which was sixty five dollars, which which is just stupid, but whatever. He put his barbershop sticker over the name, ha ha. But me and him both drink way much more water than we used to.

That was before we do advice. It's just a little hater hater mail. Oh we love hater mail. Ye hater mail.

We did get a hater mail song like Dawn turn it right. It's really quick. It's not as deep as Linda with the Deer. Okay, all right, so this person, Sandra says, I love you, ladies, but you laughed and shamed the klepto basketball player, but one and your son ate and put back at target. That's stealing too, And Giselle, you show no compassion about hitting the deer. Please try and speak to two sides of your stories.

Be good human beings. Still listening. What's up? Sandra? What? Sandra?

Okay, you're right, Wan and Corey you need to go to jail.

And the dear die? How dare I live?

Okay? Crazy, y'all people out here crazy? All right, So we need advice for Alaniya Whitfield. She needs advice for a fourteen year old daughter. All right, Hello, lovely ladies. First, I want to say I've been a loyal listener since episode one. You two brighten up my day, especially when I've had a rough one and I turned to I turned on an episode of Reason Me Shady and it helps me tremendously. My name is Holly, Okay, so I totally said her name wrong. Her name is Holly. I live in Bangor, Maine.

Shout out to Banger.

Is that how you really pronounced that?

B a ng o or Banger? Yes?

Okay, yes, Robin, I know you have been to Banger. Oh, yes, okay, yes, that's where I got kicked out of the airport. That's right, that's right, and had an experience at the airport. Ha ha.

I promise you we aren't that bad. I need some advice.

My daughter's fourteen and has recently been give be in trouble at school. She just got suspended for smoking pot. I thought she was smarter than that, but I also know what it's like to be a teenage girl. Giselle, You've raised some very smart, respectable ladies, and I would love your advice on how you approach the situation and how to give the best guidance for my daughter. Thank you for any advice you two might have.

Keep doing what you're.

Doing, and just know that the guy that you guys are making a difference. Lots of love, Holly, Oh, that's so nice. Yes, And I don't know what kind of advice I can give Grace smok a weed right now?

Oh, Okay, I'm joking.

Jokes, jokes. You know. I was extremely upfront and.

Honest with my kids about everything, sex, drugs, rock and roll, everything, just because I don't want them to learn about things. I don't want them to be curious about things and then they're in the streets trying to figure it out. So I tried to do scare tactics, and I tried to be like, you know, if you smoke weed, then you're gonna be hooked on heroin for the rest of your life, right, And I know that makes this's no correlation, but I was like, it's a slippery slow, it's a gateway drug.

It's a gateweight drug, very slow.

I shared that. My I'm sorry to cut you off, but I shared. You know, I smoked weed at a young age. And my best friend, who kind of you know, was the one that I would get into trouble with. We stopped hanging out midway through ninth grade, and by her senior year, she was hooked on heroin.

Yes, so it is a gateway drug. Yeah, it can be, Yes, it can be.

I I a couple other things I told them. I was like, you know, do you know how you get heroin? In your body and they're like how and you have to take a needle and you have to like click it, you know how they be clicking a needle and then you put it in your veins and they're like why what do you mean?

So I like, I over exaggerate what's really happening.

I mean if you tell a child that, that's like traumatizing, right, And it's like why would I want to get high at bad?

Right?

So I just say, Holly, just be honest with your daughter and like, yes, weed is a gateway drug.

Yeah.

However, if the child is just smoking weed at fourteen, is that that bad?

What?

So?

Okay, you know what I mean?

It could be some other bad she could be selling if my fourteen year olds okay, fine, it's really bad.

Yes, yes, it's bad. It's not good. That's bad, So give her a no.

Oh my god, okay, it's it is. It is very scary out here. It is all sidey. It's very scary. Yes, I will with me. I have boys, Jill, you have girls, Okay at fourteen? I want to know how much freedom did your girls have at fourteen? What's fourteen? What's what class? What grade is that? That's like ninth ninth grade pretty much ninth grade? Okay, yeah, I mean you said freedom, What do you mean like to hang out, to go to leave your house without you being there and they

But I knew way.

I knew way better, and I always had the fear of my parents finding out and the repercussions and getting in trouble and so so I think that prevented me from like really going far was that I always knew that my parents were were going to be there, and we're gonna if they found out I was going to get in trouble. But it's all about their freedom you give your kids, and Holly, I hate to say it, and I know it might be a struggle. You might have to rein in the freedom that your daughter has,

Right?

Don't just be the parent that's just gonna like punish you and go to hell off and not like have conversation. Right, And you gotta look at her friends. You gotta look at who is she spending time with. I hate because certain certain friends I would be I would go out and I would get in trouble with, I would do things I shouldn't do stuff with. And then other friends we're doing such different things. So it's all about who is she spending time with, how much freedom does she have?

Yeah?

And does she know better? And like I believe she knows better because you're a concerned parent, right, Yeah, and tell her to listen to reasonably shady because tell her to listen to this advice that we're giving. Well, I think Holly can can you know can translate? Yeah, but tell her my story how I was hanging out fourteen.

Said, you don't need to go because you are really invited.

In the first place, right, So we told them not to go. So he has a follow up. He says, Hi, Jazelle and Robbin, it's your favorite person from Toronto, Mohammed. I wanted to give you an update on the Punta Kana situation and ask for more advice. So when I heard your advice, is my birthday week and I had a party and my best friend attended and I got black out drunk and ended up spilling everything that I was keeping in about the bachelrette party and not being

Be going to her wedding.

Okay, Mommy, you need to keep eye guys between us. She can't be telling everybody now.

She hates us.

I don't remember any of this, but long story short, after a lot of talks with our mutual friends and my therapists. They suggested I should go, but view it as a vacation and not as.

Her wedding, so I ended up going.

We barely spoke, and she reminded me many times through her actions that I was just a guest at her wedding and nothing more. I was hurt throughout the trip, but I made sure.

That I had a good time.

On the last day of the trip, it got back to me that she's mad at me for some comments I didn't make about her wedding not being classy.

Even though a.

Bunch of our mutual friends assured or they never heard me say that, she still believes that I haven't spoken to her since this last conversation and don't have any intention to, And usually I am the one putting in the effort of texting first and checking in because I haven't done that. We have not spoken in over six weeks. Do you think I should reach out or leave it for her to make the first move? Love Mohammed, and Mohammad says, I love you all so much. I'm driving

Okay. First of all, Mam, is you lying? Mohammad is lying?

Why is it lying?

You said, dis girl, this wedding is not classy? Okay you said it. Maybe you were drunk because he said he didn't remember saying all the other stuff. But right, So no question, And it's okay Mohammad that it's okay to give your commentary on the non classy wedding.

Okay.

See, I'm I'm on the flip side. I feel like, first of all, I hate being accused of something I didn't do, Okay, Okay, So if Mohammad did not make these comments and people are saying that, that would like burn me up and I and this has happened to me many times where people accuse me of doing things that I haven't done, especially things that like I wouldn't do.

Why would you want to.

Continue this friendship? So that's that's my perspective, Like this actually kind of triggered something in me right now, okay at eight A right, Okay. I don't like being accused of something I didn't do. And when I tell you I didn't do it and you choose to still believe it, Yeah, that's it. There's nothing else I can do. I'm not going to sit here and try to prove it. I'm not trying to state my case. I'm not going to try to, you know, kiss her ass and be.

Like hol bl blah blah blah. No, we ain't doing that. We're not doing that.

So Mohamet, the ball is my is I'm concerned the ball is in her court if she wants to circle back to you and realize the friend that she lost, the friend that she offended, and that's on her. But as far as I'm concerned with you, Muhammed, I think you should just act like you ain't never met her before.

Well, he should have listened to us in the first place. We told him not.

Nothing to go and then he's yeah, he told her just all a Roma said that he should not go, and he went and packed his bags.

Anyway, Yeah, you should have listened to us in the first place.

True, And we know you trashed her wedding as you should, because if I went and you're not speaking to me, I'm a trashed her wedding.

That wedding suck.
