What's up? What's up? Everyone? This is Robin Dixon. Thank you so much for being here with us once again. Once again.
Up.
Round of applause, round of applause. Yes, isn't that a Brianta song? Round of a clause, applause, applah.
Round applause, Yes, applause round.
Okay, there's something wrong anyway. It's good to be in the Dixon Home studio, right, it's always and all the Dixons are here today. Yes, yes, we're here. It's summertime. It's summertime. Boys just worked out. They came back from their workout. Yeah, and they're like growing.
Okay, let's give a quick update, not that you, I'm give an update on your children. So Corey is like way taller than Robin and Carter, who is fourteen.
He told me today he is almost Robin's height. Yes, and he's catching up. Yeah. So you're now like the shorty I know. Yeah, that's so wild. It is because Carter was always like the little baby. He was like so cute and cuddingly. He's still very cute. Yes, he's crazy. Like a fourteen year old that's cute. Yeah, you don't find that many fourteen year olds that are cute. I looked at mine when they were fourteen. They were cute. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but a fourteen year old boy, that's hard to find.
That's true. Yeah, he's like he's growing.
There they are, and you can tell that. So I asked the boys, who's gonna be taller? Because typically the doctor will tell you when they're born. Yeah, And so Cory is like, I'm gonna be taller. I'm gonna be like Shack bell Ow Neil. So he didn't say that.
Well, right, So the doctor did say Corey would be taller. Yeah, but I just I was I'm like, how did they really know? Oh they know? Is it accurate? Well, what he said about my girls is accurate. I agree that Corey will probably be taller, But they said Carter was only going to be five to ten and I was like, that's that's just not possible. That might be because he's four. Well, we'll see, we'll see. To TBD, you determined, you never know? Yeah,
what's your shady moment? So much shady moment involves my son Corey. Poor thing got caught up in the mess that was Delta Airlines.
Oh yes, yes, now that was what was. There was a name for it, for the airline situation. It was called it was a the computer was upgrading. Oh no, the computer hadn't needed a software upgrade up. Yeah yeah, yeah, so they up It was an upgrade or update, and it's like an update.
Yeah, but there was the name of the computer system anyway, doesn't even matter.
It started early Friday morning, when a faulty wild Strike update caused computer glitches affecting hospitals, businesses, and multiple airlines. While other airlines have largely recovered, Delta is still struggling to get back on track. Since last week, the airline has canceled more than six thousand flights, with thousands of others delayed.
All the planes went day. Yes, I'm sure, I'm sure a lot of our listeners got caught up in that message. Yes, so, Corey. He spent almost two weeks in Augusta, Georgia playing basketball, so his team flew into Atlanta, drove two and a half hours to Augusta, Georgia, spent i don't know, maybe he's like ten not to two whole weeks, but like ten eleven, twelve days in Augusta, Georgia playing basketball for
the Nike eybl Peach Jam. And on the day it was time to come home, of course, you're like dying to get home because they've been in a little rinkinging hotel for however long whatever. And they drive two and a half hours back to Atlanta. Okay, get to the airport, check their bags, walk through security, walk into the and then get a notification that their flight was canceled. Jesus. And this was an eight pm flight. So and this
is an organization of fifty people traveling together. Oh my gosh, like three teams, the coaches, the admins, all that type of stuff. So and I was just like so ready for my child to be home for day. And they eventually just decided, you know what, we're just going to go stay at a hotel and we're going to charter a coach bus. Yeah, and drive back home. Why did they Why did they take the luggage if they knew the plan wasn't going Well, that's the thing. They they
were able to check the luggage. Yeah, but like, why did the airline take it because it must not. It wasn't canceled at that time. Okay, you know, so they were able to check the bags. And then as they were walking as they were, you know, the Atlanta airport, you got to get on those trams and all the stuff. So as they were like going through all the trams and stuff, they got a notification that the flight was canceled. Right, So it was like, yeah, the Delta, Delta doing some
wild stuff these days. It was a mess. And then he ran into my cousin's wife in the airport. She was stuck and then she finally got out in the morning. Like I know so many people that were stuck in Atlanta Airport because of yeah, Delta in the mess. Can you imagine how much money Delta Airlines? They said, like one hundred and sixty five million? Is it to wherever it was to where like it was like maybe day three? Yeah it was. It was at one hundred and sixty
five million. That's a lot of money. And that was the crazy part. When Corey's flight was canceled. I think the stuff started on a Friday. The shutdown started on a Friday. This was like Sunday, nights and they were still canceling flights. That's wild and the other but the other airlines got it together. The other airlines got it together. One flew out of Atlanta. He was down there for something else. He flew out of Atlanta on Southwest. Just fine, yeah, yeah, Southwest.
Ain't nothing wrong with Southwest. Just for me, just for me, that's all right. Southwest. I wouldn't gone, I wouldn't gone to Southwest. Got a little ticket now, know how to you know? Went in Rome? Right? It was the Romans, right, But poor Gorey. I was like, damn. They had to drive two and a half hours south to go to Atlanta and then drive back home passed where they just came from. That's wild, right, So what time? So when did he get home? Finally he got home the next
day around like eleven pm. Poor, that was an experience, it was, it was he was, hey, can you imagine? So this is a charter bus of fifty boys and men who have not showered because they were in the airport all day the day before. Sweaty balls, sweaty balls. How many balls is that?
Fifty's one hundred balls? One hundred sweaty ball That is nasty. Yes, but I really it's so crazy.
I was like, oh, I missed my son. Yeah yeah, yeah, you know I had to deal with all that. So so you all out here who had to deal with Delta Airlines and their mess, you were not alone.
Yeah, speak speaking of these children, that is my This is my very short, shady moment, these children of mine. Okay, so I'm having a little party for them, little send off party that they requested.
They requested, okay, okay because Grace didn't have one this year. No, she didn't want it. Okay, yeah, because she was too busy going to everybody else's party. But now the girls are like, oh, you know, we really want to have something with our.
Friends before we all leave, right cool. So I had my little pen and paper and I was like, what y'all want?
So they told me what they wanted, the food, this, did that, And I said, okay, well, and I have an event planner that I love. By the way, you need to meet him. Okay, nice. I told my guy. His name is Brant. I'm getting a little shout out Brent Rica nor Ley is the name of his company. And I was like, right, R A N O R A L E. That's off his grandma Nora Lee. Yeah, Norley. So I was like, Brent, this is what my girls want. And brand has met my girls and he's like these
this for the twins and I said yes. He said, I'm god, I'm terrified of them. And he was like, whatever they want, I need to do it, and I need to do it immediately because you know, there's gonna be very direct for their age. And you know, he said something to Angel. Angel like looked at him and was like what, Like, I mean, Angel like checked him really quickly. I don't know if something happened. Anyway, they're so sweet.
They're very sweet, but they're very he knows that they mean business. Okay, Okay, so we got it all situated. So he was like, okay, and I'm going.
To are they Virgos like their mother. They're not. They're big time tourists. Okay. So they're direct because they were raised by virgo but they are softies at heart. Okay. Anyway, so I was like, he said, you know, I'm gonna get the DJ, and I was like, okay, cool. So I told the girls the girls are very exciting and this is not like a cheap party like this we spend a little bit of money on this party. So I was like, yeah, so it's going over everything that's happening.
I was like, the food, the balloons, the this, the that, the DJ. They're like DJ. They're like, Mom, why are you getting a DJ? And I was like, because that's what you do for a party, party, right, And they were like, no, Mom, we don't want to DJ. We told you you didn't we didn't want a DJ. And I said, I know you told me that, but I thought you were just like kind of like you didn't know what you're talking about. Don't you don't have to do all that? They were like, no, a DJ means drinking.
Huh So when when when did DJ equal drinking? Right? She was like they were both like, no, DJ means like for teenagers, a DJ means they're supposed to be alcoholic beverages. What was like, first of all, there's no alcoholic beverages for teenagers, right, because y'all ain't about to run into a tree and sue me, right, So no, but we are having a DJ. They're so mad that we're having a DJ, and I'm like, are you They want it to be like a turn up? They just wanted to be like a chill kind of thing.
I don't know what they want, but I don't. I said, well, how are we going to listen to music? And they were like, we're going to buy a speaker. Girl, you sound crazy. So anyway, the DJ will be there.
My children are very unappreciative and they are shaped the end. They just don't buy a speaker, right, wh who buys a speaker? Who as a speaker? Only DJs have speakers? Well, no, I mean you could get like a bit a nice whatever Bose speaker. Yes, shit, they can use Alexa.
Well, but that's like a travel I feel like those are travel speakers. They're very small, Like, no, we need this to amplify and you don't want to be worried about the music, right, that's for someone else to handle. So anyway, they're very mad at me about the DJ.
Okay, how many people are on this list? Listen? Listen?
Did list keep changing? They first told me twenty, then that went to thirty. Now I think we have forty, so I don't know.
Okay, Well we shall see, Okay, Yeah, I mean, hey, they could save you some money with the DJ if you don't use the DJ DJs are not expensive. This DJ cost two hundred and fifty dollars. I'm waiting for a shout out dj Alex, thank you. Okay, y'ah, Okay, dj Alex is not that expensive. Okay, y'all go ahead and give dj Alex some love. That's funny. Yes, that's interesting. These kids are different. They're different. They're very different.
I don't I don't understand how equally y'all write in and let us know if my kids are tripping?
Dude, does DJ equal for teenagers drinking? But this is like a different This is not a party. This is a during the day right exactly. This is a day party. Yeah, it's not just for the kids right now. My family will be there and stuff.
I mean not yeah, some of my family, and did I invited some adults? So really what happened with the adults is they were like, okay, mom, so and so is coming and she kind of lives far away, and she was like, you know, her mom who you know, just how to hit me, her mom who you know, is.
Bringing her, so you know she's just gonna stay. And if one adult stays, it's like, ah, that means I have to entertain this adult. So now all the adults come right, Yeah, I just invited a bunch of people, got it? Okay? All right, Well, hey, the adults will enjoy the detail and the drinking, but not the kids. Well further, ado, are we gonna give it up for the next President of the United States? President mode President
Kamala Harris, Caamala Harris coming through so Wisconsin. I am told as of this morning that we have earned the support of enough delegates to secure the Democratic nomination. So, friends, we have one hundred and five days until election day, and in that time, we've got some work to do. But we're not afraid of hard work. We like hard work, don't we And we will win this election. Yes we will. Okay,
are we excited about this? I am very excited. I will say though, when Joe Biden made that announcement on his you know, social media, I was sad. Yeah, it was weird. It's like, you know, I know, the Democratic Party for a few weeks now where we were like spinning, yes, right, totally spinning. And I was actually surprised that we were still spinning because you know, media cycles are very short, right, So after the debate, you know, people are all like
up intsizzy, like okay, what's going on? Something needs to change, like he's not fit whatever, blah blah blah. And I thought, okay, well this is going to die down. We're going to be onto something new, and it like wouldn't die down. No, no, no, right no, yeah. I personally think there's some issues with Joe that we don't know, and that's fine. I don't need tell me he's eighty years old. He's just declining and that's fine, that's natural and there's nothing wrong with it.
I don't know, what do you like issues you mean for health? Yeah, that we don't know, and I don't need to know. It's none of my business. Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I mean there's times when he appears sharp, yes, and there's times when it's like, okay, you're a little slow here. And it's not even just his his like speaking, it's his movements. Yes, don't show him walking right, I get nervous right walking, or even when he's like wave into the crowd, it's like very delayed, very slow like
stuff like that. So but anyway, even with all of like the tizzy that the Democratic Party was in, yea, and I mean sorry, but not sorry to people who don't want to hear politics, but this is a very big deal. This is a huge moment, so get over yourself. Yeah. But when he made that announcement, it was like okay, it was like two emotions, right, It's like, okay, great, now we have clarity. Yes, right, now we can figure out a path forward. Now we can just you know,
figure out a solution. And then it was like sadness. I felt sad for him. I felt sad just that, you know, I felt like he was I don't want to say he was bullied, but just imagine being on the receiving it and having all of these people like, oh, you need to step aside this step. I was relieved for him, to be honest. Yeah. I was like, and there's a relief too, yeah. Yeah.
I was like, you need to be spending time with your grandkids. Yeah, Like you don't need to be running the country.
You know how hard that job, right, right? Yeah? So and we've seen presidents decline as soon as they get that job. They just be looking haggard, right exactly. Yeah. Yeah, and maybe for him there probably was like sadness, but there probably is some relief at this point. Yeah, and honestly, didn't he say when he ran the last time that he was more of a transitional Yeah, he was one
and done. Yeah yeah, so this is good. Yeah. So anyway, you know, and it was very nice to immediately have Biden say I endorse Kamalo so that we don't have to spend weeks figuring out out who the candidate is. Yes, period, right, Yes, and I love it. I love it. I'm here for it.
I have told you privately, like women are not well Black women, especially me and Robin, We're not the problem to get her into office, right, I feel like men are the problem. Yes, So a man that doesn't see a woman in leadership, get over yourself, right, because now it's the time y'all.
Have had y'all time. Yes, how long have they had their time? I know? And it's whatever. It's insane to think like, oh, a woman can't be elected president. Yes, and you know, I reflect back to Hillary Clinton where Hillary ran, right, and part of me is like, oh, we don't want another Hillary to happen. Right, But when you think about Hillary, Hillary and the rest of the Democratic Party, we thought she had it in the bag,
Like we thought it was a walk in the park. Yeah, there was no chance in hell that Donald Trump would have won. And so we weren't really like Hillary wasn't really campaigning super hard. She wasn't really trying to appeal to you know, probably the young vote or just a different audience. She was just like, Okay, this is a walking apart and handed to her. Yeah, well not really. She still won the popular vote.
She did, but yeah, we couldn't get her in that in the old office. But hopefully this time. Listen, we're not gonna tell y'all what to do. We're just gonna tell y'all vote for people do that are not criminals?
Right, yes, exactly. And you know it's so funny. So speaking of like black women, yes, black women are gonna we're gonna do everything we can to get Kamala in office. But have you seen the white women on social media or saying I know my assignment. Yes, good, it's good, I understand the assignment. Yeah, I know my assignment. Well
you gotta follow through. So that's the thing now with all the white women are supporting Kamala, they're like, we know the assignment, Okay, great, and it's really great because you know, they had the phone call or the zoom call with you know, the over forty thousand black women, which I hopped on for a little bit, and then the men, the forty the black men followed up. Yes, Anna Navarro from the View was on the call with the black women, and she was like, listen, we're you know,
you're Latino sisters. We want in. So then I heard the Latino women are doing an awesome call, you know, I'm with Kamala calleh. And then now I hear there's a white women call. Well, thank god for that. Ye who's leading that? I don't know, I need to like dig more into that, but there's a white woman cars saw the graphic for it and everything. Who should be put in charge of that? Gwyneth Paltrow. Oh yeah, Taylor Swift? Who should be put in charge of that? Oh shoot,
Taylor Swift? How about Jennifer Aniston? I voted for Taylor Swift? Everybody charge? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So so it's awesome. So it's really exciting. Kamala is you know she has energy? Yeah, we can relate to her, you know, we see her. I think she's sharp. Yeah, I feel like we have a seat at the table. I feel like we are seeing, we are heard. I feel like, you know, when we talk about sharpness and education, I mean, hands down, there's no comparison to who she's running against. And listen, the
lies that are coming out about her right are hilarious. Oh, I know, it's insane, Like stop it, and I would encourage everybody don't. Don't if you hear something totally negative about her. Now mind you, they're calling her every name under the sun, which is like heartening, but like, do your before you believe the lie. Look the lie up. This is probably a lie the end. Do your research.
And I don't even want to mention that she's a member of my sorority alf Kappa Alpha, because I just feel bad, like deltas y'all, how y'all feeling about y'allselves these days? We are supportive? How we feel that that is our sister too? Okay, well, I mean not really anyway, the AKA is a shining right Listen, y'all can't ak's alone, can't can't win the vote? Well that is true.
Yes we do, yes we do, but we this is this is exciting times exciting.
Yeah, hopefully everything keeps going, you know the way that we want it. To go. Yes, I'm very curious to see who she's gonna select for vice president. Yeah, we need to see that. And I don't I don't care. I don't care it coul Beaches Olf, it doesn't even matter. Let's just get it in. I mean, yeah, it does matter. I mean it doesn't matter to us. It matters to the maybe the undecided people, to the ones that understand their assignment. It matters to them.
Yes, yes, yes, okay, So let's let's get into something else that was very exciting. It just it happened recently. But I was I was in a choke hold. I was in a joke cold of the Amazon Prime Day. Yes, so my children, I didn't.
Know Amazon PROMI Day existed. Ever, what did not know? I was like, she's gonna call you, but I was too busy ordering things. Okay, So never knew it existed, never knew it was a thing. So my kids have all this stuff on their wish list that they want for college. So they kept saying, like mine, it's in the car and I'm gonna save it. I'm giving to you on Prime Day Prime Day. And I'm like, what
the Prime Day? So I said okay. So then all of a sudden, they woke up one day and like they were like mine's Prime day, and I'm like, what the hell does that mean?
They were like, you can buy everything today that we're sending you girl.
I opened up my Amazon Prime.
All of my stuff that I normally buy was on sale, was on sale.
I went not.
I went I went crazy, like literally Google crazy.
I was so excited. So finally I counted, oh shit, like how many things I purchased? Boxes are still coming? Okay, how many think I purchased? Oh that's seventy five things between me and the girls. Yeah, well Grace actually didn't send me. No, Grace did send me still, yeah, Angel did seventy five. I went not. I went crazy. I went crazy, Now, like what was it? So?
Like, for instance, there's toothpaste that I buy on there, so you know that was fifty percent everything everything from toothpaste toothbrushes. The girls wanted like body suits, workout pants, they wanted pillows, sheets, all that stuff.
I mean I just when I went not because it was eighty percent. Yeah, it was some big deals, some big deals. Baby. Yeah. So I it was like for me, it was just too much, you know what I mean and so so for me sometimes when it's like too much, I just like turn it off. But I bought stuff for my business. So for my business, yes, business, yeah, thirty thirty, So we had to so we have speakers that we put in every room, like a little Sons speaker, which I got for like fifty dollars off, so I
saved and I had to buy six of them. So that's amazing. Yeah, so I saved three hundred dollars there, okay. And then we need iPads for every room, oh g yeah, so I got those. I think my speakers were actually more off. Yeah. But anyway, so like I was buying electronic stuff and like big purchases and so I was happy about that, okay, yeah, yeah, I was very excited. So if they want to do it again, feel free,
right because your selle is down? Is it just one day a year or it's two days it's okay, it was like the seventeenth, sixteen seventeenth or something like that. It's two days back to back, okay. Yeah, But what I noticed was that while Amazon Prime Day was taking place, other stores were put their stuff on sale too. Oh
they did. Yeah, So for me, like I actually ended up buying my iPads or some of them from best Buy because best Buy mark their stuff down and then I can get like points and rewards and yeah, stuff like that. I was too much in a choke call for Amazon. I was like locked in and I wasn't necessarily working that day. I was like on the couch. Yeah, don't never get me on the couch. It's disaster. I know.
I saw you know, it's so funny. I saw a meme that was like we it was like a video of this guy and it's like, we call ourselves saving money by not going outside. But when you sit at home, you shop online, and you end up spending more money. You shop online, you door dash, yeah, and you end
up spending more money than if you had gone outside. Yes, And they're saying so restaurants are now saying that they want they want to turn everything over to electric, like you know, when you do the QR code and all that, because we those they found people spend more than when they look at a menu that's a paper menu. Oh wow. For whatever reason, they say, people just spend more, oh wow. And I'm like that's probably.
True, yeah, because you're just it's easy to just I don't know, maybe it's psychological. But the way that you go that your brain thinks to like look at stuff and process, right, it's a different. It's different when it's paper, then it's on like your computer or what I.
Mean, your phone? Really yeah wow? So I mean, let me tell you the markup when you when you buy stuff on door dash versus when you walk in and pick it up. It's absurd. It's crazy. It's absurd. Yes, and you do it every time and I keep doing it. But there are times when I'm like, no, we know, driving and picking it up. Yes, this is crazy. How many times you do that? Maybe like five percent? Five percent? Yeah, okay, So let's talk about the Olympics because it's here, yes, and I'm here for it.
Anybody in particular we want to cheer. I mean definitely some all Biles.
Right of course. And she's back as off. Do you remember the last Olympics when she had like the mental breakdown? Is that Tokyo, Japan? What was that? I guess? So, yeah, Tokyo that was so, you know, I was that was that was courageous of her really for doing that because you're on the biggest stage and you're like I'm not ready. Yeah, yeah, so I'm I hope that she's in a better place and that she's she can, like, you know, make it through. So definitely curious and I feel like a lot of
eyes will be on her totally. Do you have you ever felt like I want to go to the Olympics. No, you're right, like people are like, oh, I need to go, I want to go to Paris. I have no desires of no desire like the crowds, right, Yeah, It's not for me, no, but I feel like it. No, I've never like had the desire to go. Now. If if someone gave me the opportunity to go, I would go. But it's not like on a wish list or a
bucket list of things I want to do now. But I do enjoy just having them on and watching them totally, And you know, I like it's in rooting on the USA and watching all the different events, you know, even like stuff that I would never really watch if it wasn't the Olympics, right, you know, like swimming, I wouldn't really watch, you know, swimming if it weren't for the Olympics. Totally. But I'm like locked in on swimming, locked in.
So did you see how Lebron and Steph Curry were like Like Steph was like, I'm sick of.
Not like us. Oh yeah, and He's like, is this the this is not the only song in America?
Yeah, they were like practicing, Lebron, the whole Olympic basketball team was practicing and they were playing it Kendrick song and like Steph is like, I'm over it, yeah, and Lebron.
Was like, no, man, I liked a song, right, and I like it? And you know what's so crazy about that?
So I know how we were talking about and this is like old because the whole Drake Kendrick Lamar beef was like what two three months ago? Yeah, like it's a century.
Ago, right, it's old news, old news. But literally yesterday I was in traffic and it came on and I was like really honing in on the on the lyrics huh Ken Chuck Lamar. Oh yeah, I ate him a lot, Like I was like, oh my god when he said a minor uh huh okay, I've heard that about five thousand times and you didn't like put the connection no, And then I said I feel like, am I an idiot? Like? How how slow? Am I. I mean no, like you probably just like okay, it's a catchy song. Like some
people are really like deciphering the lyrics. They are like reading a word for words and like, oh this means that it's a double Entendrey Kench did his hand. If I'm Drake, I'm still in Heidi, is he still in? I believe that he's working. I mean it's he's working on his h his braid, his braids which my son has, by the way, he has, yeah, you know it gets his hair corn roaded and stuff. And I'm like's the goal here? Like where are we going with this? I don't know who has it had? Yeah? Do Raging had
his hood on? Yeah he had a hoodie on. Yeah. I didn't see his hair. I don't. I'm just like, okay, I don't really understand. Maybe and maybe this is just because like my hair is a pain in the ass if you're a dude and you really can just get away with just cutting your hair low and keeping and moving, Like, why are you adding all of this extra to do on your to do list? I think it's trendy. I think they you know, it makes him feel like they're yeah,
it's trendy. Yeah, they want to feel like they're apart. Can we we can we talk about the Okay, go ahead. I'm not I want to cut you off. No, no, no, I'm just like I mean, and I guess you know, okay, and I guess you know you can. You want to express yourself, you want to a certain waight. But I'm just like, do y'all know, like it's such a pain in the ass to do your hair, such a pain
for the for the braids, for any for anything. That's just is not like if cut low cut low right, if we could, if women could just walk around with a little short low cut. Listen, do you know what broke? Like hairstylas would be broken. The whole wee factory would be out of business exactly. Like that's a I think a billion dollar business. Oh yeah, it's a huge industry. And maybe I'm like annoyed because i gotta take him to get his hair braided, and I'm like, that's just
another thing for me to do. I mean, want to take them to the barbershop. And then it's like with Corey, it's like, Okay, you got to get your hair braided, and you got to get your shape up two things. Yes, it's two fer. Yes, I'm like, why do you all put yourself through that when you don't have to? But I'm more upset that I gotta take you to the braid shop. Right, Okay? Can I give a public service announcement for women? We hate beards? Yes we do. No,
I don't. I don't think so long beards? What what's the length? Listen? You can't talk about beard? You got in trouble? No, I know my but no, I'm not, I'm not, no, but but I I need for it to go away. You don't like them at all? Like you like zero fatal hair again, George Michael remember the acro scruff? That's it, that's as long as it goes. Yeah, anything else is enough. I won't say. I just think they're unnecessary. And why can't we see your see? Why
can't we see your face? It just depends on the person. Some beards actually make guys look a little bit more handsome. There are guys that not the long beards, not the super long ones like just you know, but still like a full one. Yeah, some full beards actually help make some guys look better. I was waiting on the trend to stop not stop it. Yeah, but so I'm gonna tell all guys, if y'all are listening, no one likes your beard, No one, not even the woman that you're
having sex with. It. She doesn't like it. She just hasn't told you yet, but she really wants you to cut it. But he might be ugly in real life, and the beard makes him look better. I'm telling you, I've seen a lot of guys that have a beard and then you look at their picture without a beard and you're like, oh, now I know why you have the beard. Okay, Robin said that, not just out just for the record, all right, I want to talk about Tyler Perry. Okay, all right, So you know, Tyler's been
getting criticized. Taller Perry, you know, is.
In the entertainment industry, in the TV television industry, the most revered black.
Man or something. I mean, he's got he's got it. Tyler's doing. He's super successful. I would don't know if he's the most not not most reverd, but Tyler. Tyler has come under h scrutiny because everyone's like Tyler. All of your movies are the same, right, if you see one, you've seen them all. The plot is the same, right, it's just characters in a different name. Yeah. So he's like, yeah, but you know he's so he he spoke on that and he was like, suck it, suckers works.
He's like, you know't tell you what to do, right, Why are you gonna like why do we have to like dumb down or change our stories?
Right? That those are our stories? Right? And I agree, okay, yes, if I want to be able to close my eyes and know that this is a Tyler Perry movie, this is what you're gonna get. Yes, I'm not mad at it, Like I can see Madia. That's a different signature. A Tyler Perry movie, that's his signature, and that's and you know what you're gonna get. And it's kind of like, well that John Grisham writes the same novels right over
and over again. You know the people, the person that wrote Harry Potter, she wrote the same type of same thing over and over again. Why is it okay for them? But Tyler Perry can't do it? Yeah?
Yeah, And he does all his like church movies and everything, and one day he's going to ask me to be one.
He is Tyler just waiting. Look at you campaigning for Tyler, been campaigning. You are home now and you are shamed. And God, I tried everything, No beech. You have taught me since I was a little girl to be a good wife. But what happens when that's not enough? But I guess Tyler Perry's like, Okay, he won't call me. I don't care about your opinion, but it works and it's been making him money. Yeah, you know, right, sucking Yeah, so sucking suckers. He didn't actually he said it. He said.
I think he said I don't give a damn bitches like he didn't say that. I think he said sucking suckers. I did see though, that his most recent movie has gotten like really bad reviews, but the one was Megan Good. Yeah. I know all.
Of them had bad reviews, but they're making the controllion dollars. Everybody goes to see him, everybody supports them. So what difference doesn't make whether the plot is the same. You can you can listen different movies.
I've been watching it for like thirty seconds, and I know the entire plot, right.
What's going to happen? You know exactly what's going to happen, yes, and it's fine. I want to watch it anyway. Anyway, this is going to our Instagram chronicles. That's you know, that's our new segment. Okay, I got some for that.
Okay. So they have said that Pizza Hut. Did you ever go to Pizza Hut back in the day. Yes, I used to love the little pan pizzas. Oh really, yes? Okay, would you go in the Yeah, you had to go in the store because they didn't really have like delivery or anything at that point, right, yeah, okay. Pizza Hut said that they're bringing the buffet back. I don't need no buffet a pizza Hut, thank you. So, so Pizza Hut is bringing back it's popular nineties all you can
eat buffets. Okay. So what that means is is grease on top of grease on top of mogile selling in this buffet.
I think the buffet is different types of pizzas and it's just like, oh, you can eat, and I think it's only for like eleven dollars and ninety nine cents.
Oh my god, that right there makes me gag. Yeah. Yeah, so okay, I don't need a Pizza Hut. Buffet. But I did love a Sizzler buffet. What Sizzler like the steak? You never went to Sizzler, No, I don't think that was like when the fan like the treat for the family, like when it was like, oh, we're going out to dinner everyone, We're going to Sizzlers. Sizzler, Sizzler, okay, And it was a buffet. So what was on the buffet? It was like everything I'm trying to remember, you know.
And honestly, I think as a kid, I really just like vegetables, Like I probably just tore up the salad bar. Okay, Yeah, you could get like salad and steak and chicken and all the you know, the okay Sizzler. Trust me, I would never eat it today and my kids would probably never eat it today. Like this. Yeah, but the stuff that my parents ate and fed me, we're not eating
that now. It's not happening. And that's why I feel like pizza Hut, there's a reason why y'all took it away because nobody was actually eating it, right, So let's keep it away. We don't need to bring that back. I don't need or a Sizzler pizza Hut. No, I did miss sizzler and even and when it like closed down, it was very sad. Okay, this is my Instagram chronicles. Okay, you know, just because it's on Instagram, I guess that
makes it special. So in Houston, Texas, yeah, ask your mother, will your mama lives, heavy rains bring out toxic worms that multiply when cut in half. Have you heard about this? No? But that's always right, is it? Yeah? Weren't these things they regenerate? Okay? They I've never seen the yellow ones. They're yellow and black, yes, like regular worms, so they're like no. So these are heavy rains in Houston have brought out poisonous hammer head flatworms, which can regenerate if
cut in half. These invasive worms pose a risk to pets in humans secreting top sins that can cause skin irritation. Expertise against touching them. Use gloves and a plastic bag with salt, vinegar or citrus oil. Instead. What, yes, that's not good? No? Okay, So where they where did they come from? The underground? I guess so? Yeah, probably far underground because it's the heavy rains. So the heavy rains are probably like pushing them up in there because they're
trying not to suffocate or drown or whatever. So if you live in Houston, let us know if you've seen these nasty, poisonous hammerhead worms. That totally so wait, worms do that anyway?
So regular I think guard Yeah earth worms if yeah, if you cut them, they they regenerate like they Have you ever done that? I have as a child when I played in the dirt for like a day.
Okay, so I've never I used to play in the dirt every day and I never did that. But okay, yeah, they they will they will beheal themselves or whatever. Really, yeah, I didn't know that. Okay, Well those are pointus poisonous. Yeah, tell your mama to be careful. Okay, this is our last Instagram chronicle. Did you know? And you probably didn't because you were raising boys? Do you know about Hello Kitty? Oh? I saw that. Yes, it's not a cat.
So I say to my child, my children, because girls, I'm like, hey, do y'all know about Hello Kitty?
And they're like what.
I was like, Hello Kitty is not a cat, right, and they were like, yeah, it's a little girl.
What right?
Where did that happen? Right? Well? Why does she look like a cat. How dare you confuse us? Right? Years, she looked like her cat, and her name is kitty and she has whiskers right, like, it's just not right. I don't understand that. Why you've been lying to us? The creator of Hello Kitty revealed, yes that Hello Kitty is not a cat.
It's a little girl and she has like a regular supposedly family.
Yes, yes, it's not a they all have whiskerson. It's not a person. People don't look like that. And ears up here right, yes, not on the sides of your she has ears on the yes, top of her head, pointy ears. Yes, Hello Kitty. You lying? You're a cat, not a cat, and that is not a person. That's crazy. You a liar? Okay, Yeah I don't. I didn't. I don't understand that. Why she did that? Yeah, to do that to us? Yeah, And so now I don't feel
like Hello Kitty is cute anymore. You're not cute anymore. No, but if you're a kitty, you're cute, but if you're a little girl, you're not. So it was Hello Kitty a thing for your girls? Yeah, Hello Kitty? Yeah, they like Tello Kitty for while? Was it a thing when we were little girls. I don't know. I don't I wasn't into I was in the like Barbie Dolls.

And I started laughing and went to the bathroom and turned it up louder. Oh no. And my daughter Emma said, Daddy, Pickles, don't be mean. I don't know what that means. What I guess he's she's saying, daddy, don't be mean. Okay. Then then she says, get it, Tommy Pickles, Tommy Pickles. Yeah,

I do not want to be in their sex Can you imagine people like humping to the sound of reasonably.
They're hopping to Robin's voice, Please don't do that. I think Robin's voice is better than mine, So it's your voice is probably.
A turn on. No, no, y'all think so I hate listening to my voys me too, I turn it off. Yes, I can't listen. Yeah. So the fact that you're listening to us in the shower, yeah, and driving your husband crazy with it, that's that's interesting. So there's a guy that was leaving me.
You know, we're kind of dating a little bit, maybe not really anyway, He's leaving me voice audio messages, right.
So I try to be like you and send him audio message back. Yes, I text back and.

I mean, she's got two rambunctious boys, so I feel like boys, especially when they're rambunctious and they're you know, they should be a premium. Yes. Well, not that her kids are bad. They're just I don't even want to call them rambuckses. They're just active. Yeah. But I actually
