| Ep 81 | Shade Deez!

to like eighty degrees today and it's February. This is February twenty third, And then in other parts of the country it's like a foot of snow, like, right, So she would be happy or sad. We should be confused and scared. Like I'm a little worried. I don't know. I don't know if I'm worried for my kids. I might be worried for my grandkids because of global warming. But it's not warm because across the country it's like a bunch of feet of snow. Yeah, but it's just

something weird going on. Our winters actually here in Maryland have been mild for a few years. Like we haven't really had no, we haven't had a huge no a very long time now. And that means there's something strange. I just think the weather might be shifting. Like people who didn't get snow before, like in Atlanta, they're getting it now. So it's just the weather might be shifting. It's not concerning to you. That's a little concerning. However. I mean, what am I gonna do with my fur coats?

I should give them back to Peter, Like Peter like spray on them or something. Yeah, donate them to somebody, somebody in Atlanta. Oh okay, I send them all down to the South. That don't make no sense. And that was actually kind of like my shady moment of the week. It was going to be the fact that it's um flip flop season and it's February right now, you really have Okay, you you're a little too excited because you

how you have flip flops today? Okay, free the toes, I mean eighty degrees, but you have a hoodie on, so like you're a hoodie and flip flops. Like, look, look it is what it is. Look the toes can be free. The arms need to be toasty, like arms need to be warm. Toes free. Okay, yes, all right, but we have another shady moment of the week that's more important than my toes. Yeah, it is a collective

shady moment of the weak. Yes, we have never had a collective shady moment, even though I'm sure well we should have. Yes, We've had many, Yes, so this one. Yeah, and you know it's all over the news, so of course we're gonna talk about it. And um, we have been in the process of trademarking reasons we be shady, and it has been contested. Yes, someone's contesting it. Yes, so so as the world has seen. And it's so crazy.

First of all, let me tell you, I never thought in my life that my name would be in the same sentence as Eminem's name or my picture. Yeah, so'll be on the same right next to ye, same posts on Rolling Stone or people. Take a pick, Take a pick, it's everywhere. Just take a pick. Insane, Like when I just every day I think my life can't get any weirder, it gets weirder. Yes, I'm like, how does it here? I don't know because I'm right here with you, so

I don't know, right. So anyway, so of course, you as you write on the news and on the blogs and social media, Eminem has Um opposed our application for our trademark for the name reasonably Shady. Yes. So we applied for the trademark last February, over a year ago. And the process is, you know, it's it's it's a long drawn out process. So when you apply, you know, you send your paperwork in. It takes some you know,

some months maybe for the Trademark office. I think the official you know terminus, well, the official acronym is like the US United States Trademark and Patent Office us TPO, So it takes you know a good few months for them to get to your application to review it, to see, you know, if there's anything else that's similar whatever, okay, and then they approve it. So our application was approved and then once it's official, then you get the trademark

sple so we have we're registered. But they have to allow a certain period for people for the public to oppose our trademark. Yes, And on the last day of that I think it was like a thirty day period that you're allowed to you know that people would be given time to oppose it, right, Eminem's lawyers us for an extension of time, right, thirty days, thirty day extension of time. And then they came back and they opposed our trademark. Yep, and when I cannot tell you when

that email from our lawyer. And hey, if anyone ever needs a lawyer for trademark for patents, our lawyer is amazing. She represented someone against doctor Dre for the name and usage of the name doctor Dre and she won. Um, so she's amazing. Her name is Andrea Evans. She's actually a family friend, so um. You know, it was very easy for me to get to her for her to help it out with this. Andrea, Andrea, Andrea Andrea. Yeah, okay, are you sure since since she's a family friend, are

you sure it's Andrea or Andrea? I'm kidding, moving on, No, No, that is amazing. But that is one of those names that it's like you can pronounce it in many ways. Yeah, she can, right, but there's only one way that's right for her, right is because that's what her mama calls exactly. Okay, Andrea anyway, Okay, so we do have a statement. Can we make a statement? Wait? Can I can we talk about our reaction? Oh? Yeah, oh yes, yes, yes, yes, okay, okay,

go ahead. So, so you called me out the email. Yes, my jaw dropped to the floor. I called Jazelle and in her it went like straight to voicemen right like twice, which never really happens. That I was sitting in my on my couch, my favorite place. I don't know why, right,

never happened. So I texted her and I was like, oh MG called me and now and this was like right after all of the world lost their mind that I talked about my personal business on the podcast, Okay, so it was like not talking about again, right, So it was like, oh, was like, oh my god, what else? What else happened? Right? So she calls me back and I'm like dying, laughing, like dying, Like I'm like, this is insane, I said, Eminem is opposing our trademark. Right.

It was just like I mean, it was one of those things. It's like we weren't like upset or worried. We were tickled. Like I can't believe this, what Like who would have thought that Eminem would have cared about our little trademark. I don't know, I don't know. I don't know, but it's a little weird. I don't and I don't know who should be offended me or you because you're the reasonable one and I'm the shady one.

The shade is the part of in question, so I mean right, yeah, So of course of course it's shady that he is. Um. He has a trademark on slim shady and Shady and Shady Limited. OK. So he's pretty much saying that reasonably shady is too similar to slim, shady and shady. It's not. So let's see, I just want to read. Yes. So February fourteenth, Eminem and his

lawyers submitted opposition to Brian and Dixon's application. The opposition states plainly that Mathers believes he will be damaged if the Patent and Trademark Office grants Bryant and Dixon their mark um. In response to that, our lawyer says, Robin Dixon and Gizel Briant intend to defend their trademark application as there is no likelihood of confusion and consumers are not likely to confuse reasonably shady with Mather's Shady Slim

Shady Shady Limited trademark registrations. The trademarks are not confusingly similar, and these services are not related. So we are going to go down this road, y'all. Right, for us, we are going to keep our name reasonably shady because it is near and dear to us. That means it's you know, it speaks to us as individuals and our relationship and our friendship and just so y'all know, this is going to be a long drawn out process. According hopefully not,

but according to the Rooky so hopefully not. But if it does go like the entire way, we may be talking about this twenty twenty six into I'm looking at like the trial, the schedule of like everything we have to do that like goes on. Um, if we go the full course, we'll be talking about this at least until August of twenty twenty four and beyond. Okay, So so yeah, y'all, we I mean were in it, were in it to win it. We're really famous now, y'all.

Y'all speaking of like names and strange names. So you know, Kanye came out with, um, you know, he don't speak often, and you know we do, we kind of do talk

about Kanye now because he's a different person. He's married to a new woman kind of, so he turned over a new leaf, not really, but anyway, so he somebody said, if you and Kim got back together, He said, if me and Kim got back together, her name is Kim and his new name is Yay, So everybody would refer to them as Kim Yay, right, Okay, But why couldn't it be yeah Kim. This is your idea, This is my idea, Like, why couldn't it be ya Kim? Wait?

He actually entertained this conversation. He think he brought it married. Well, she don't count clearly, but I think he brought it up. Okay, So, and this is the reason why him and Kim can't not get back together. Didn't we already called them Kim yay like when people had nicknased. Well, I mean I didn't, but like that was already and that was a thing. Yeah,

that was a thing already. Oh okay, Oh he misses her. Yes, I think I want him to call I want the new name to be Yakim Yakim, Yes, yea yeay Kim Kim. That's that's cute. Yes, But I feel like like a narcissist like Kanye would not like that. Well, he would be first in the sentence. True, yes, So I thought he would appreciate that yeah, okay, yes, anyway, it is Black History Month, guys, and we were or at the final days of My History month, so you know that

there's some things we need to say. Yes, I'm gonna I do want to read one quote because I feel like, you know, we need to remember people from from way back when. Okay, Okay, I think I read this before. I'm gonna read it again. I might have, but guess what, I'm gonna read it again, and y'all gonna like it. Okay, Shirley Chisholm said, And I don't even think this early and I don't even think this was Shirley Chism you

know who this was. I to be well, anyway, if they don't give you a seat at the table, god damn it, bring a fold in chair you She didn't say, God damn it. You said this already. Like again, I'm saying it again. You said, God damn it, bring a fold in chair or make your own table. I'm adding to it, Robin, this is Shirley Chisholm slash Jelle Bryant. If they don't bring give you a seat at the table, damn it, bring a fold in chair or a picnic tables or table claw, Davin, bring your own chip. Okay,

you know what I don't know. I don't know if I'm more upset than you add lived Shirley Chisholm, or that you forgot that you literally said this last week. It needed more emphasis, It needed a little bit to make You wanted to make sure, Yes, people bring their fold and chairs. I want I want to make sure that people get to what they are do what they are supposed to have. Okay, Okay, anyway, do you have something to say let me let me give the people what they really need. Okay, So we gotta um. An

email from a listener and I appreciate it. This is from Katie Simmons. She says, Hi, ladies, my daughter and I just listen to your podcast for Monday. I always like to learn and I love a good challenge. I am a white woman from the South and I'll admit I don't know much about black history. You challenged white people to learn more about black history. I wanted to ask you, guys, who do you recommend our research or are there any certain events in black history? Any help

would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again and keep up the great work. We look forward to hearing you every Monday, Katie Simmons. She's from Greenwood, Mississippi. So I really appreciate this email because it's it's I think sometimes because black

history is our history and we know it. We know it, you know what we've gone through as a as a culture, and the you know the what we appreciate listening to and stuff that we assume that everyone else knows it too, and we don't understand why they're not understanding what's going on in the world, what's going on in the community, and all of that type of stuff. So I appreciate hearing from her saying, you know what, I really don't know that much about black history, but can you tell

me where to go? Where to start? Like where do I you know? Where do I start? So I appreciate someone that can acknowledge I really don't know and I would like to know more and where do I go? I want you to start from like the beginning. Clearly you can't learn black history and one day, one sitting, nothing like that. But I think you to kind of understand black African American history from the beginning and go from there. So I will suggest watching certain movies or

series or documentaries. If we want to start, I mean it's very raw and very you know, eye opening. But maybe start with twelve Years of Slave. Okay, I could watch that. I was just so disturbed, okay, or the Roots. Couldn't watch the Roots Mini Series. I got like to three episodes down. I just was disturbed, right, but you already knew that history line. I think it's important for someone like Katie to understand what black people endure. Okay, amistad, Amistad, Yeah, okay, horrible,

start with horrible? Can you start? Okay? I'm sorry, my fists in the air right now, I can just okay, I'm sorry, Okay, okay, okay, So watch the Roots Mini series. Ok they remade it in twenty sixteen. I sat and watched with my kids. They were so enlightened. You know. It really helped them understand certain things that they in the present day. But we saw it. Were you angry as a did you want to did you want to fight somebody? Did you want to go outside and fight people? Yes? Okay.

I just want to make sure yeah, okay, but but I think everyone needs to see that they they do understand why we are angry. Oh Okay, got it? Okay, got it? Okay, so Katie, yes. So whether it's the Roots mini series, which um they remade it in twenty sixteen, so it's nice and modern and updated, um, twelve years of Slave, I'm as stide any of that. Then I want you to progress to watching something centered around the civil rights era. Um. So I suggest something like a

documentary like Eyes on the Prize. Okay, you can also maybe watch the movie selma Um. Then then watch Friday you know what? Then watch this is she is the bad kid in the back of the classroom has to put in the corner. Go can you go sit in a corner with your back turn to us? Please write now? Okay?

All right? Then I have a telling to go go on the Boss up and the show No okay, the Jasmine Brand in Hollywood on lot get your Life, no okay, Malcolm X. And then from there I think you'll be able to navigate you a little bit more on like you know what else you want to learn? Have we talked about paint? No? Have I told y'all how much

I love her? No? Okay? So she was on the Kelly Clarkson Show the other day and she was singing, and I was like, oh, that is because she's been gone for a minute, okay, And I was like, that is like her voice is just yeah, like it's it's like it comes from the depths of her toes. And I appreciate you, Pink, And I just want let the people know. I really like, are you were excited to hear her sing? Yes? So can I tell you this. I saw a very short clip of a commercial for

The Masked Singer. Okay, she in it. I believe she is. Like I literally saw one commercial and I heard of I was like that. I was like, that's Pink. I have not watched any of the episodes, so like, somebody, if y'all are watching The mask Singer and y'all know what I'm talking about. If y'all think what I heard was Pink and all right, let me let me know, um, because I literally heard like it was literally like two second clip on a commercial and I just said, that's Pink.

I think, well, I don't know how you go from because she sells out arenas like football feels because but because it's fun because she ain't doing nothing else right now, Okay, she fun, it's something fun to do. I would go on, Yeah, I'm quite sure you're not getting that phone call. They're gonna call eminem first anyway. So California, the state of California, in the past two years, five hundred thousand people have left, vacated, moved away. Sounds like Florida too, right or no, No,

people are moving to Florida. I heard they're moving. Now they're leaving again. But they're leaving Florida. But in two years they can they can you know, they've done their little I don't know reports or whatever. Five hundred thousand people have left that is I don't know. Oh, crime, wildfires, wildfires, routs, taxes, Kim yay the ya Kim yake him. Those are the reasons. So like I want to know, like where are they going? Where are Florida? I guess if you said people are

moving to Florida, Yeah, yeah, they're moving to Florida. They're moving to Okay, Potomac. They're not coming here. No, No, they're not going. Can you imagine what depends on what part of California? I just can't imagine anyone moving from like a beautiful weather yes place and moving here like no, well, I mean our weather isn't bad. The humidity in the summer. True, it's got all, but they have the fog that m

hayes in the morning that I can't stand. You know, when your eyes start burning, when you wake up in the eyes are burning. No, I've never we never talked about this. I do want to talk about my eyes burning. So we were in Mexico on The Real Housewives Potomac. We were sitting at that table and we're talking and when they were cooking that food and we're cooking the food is very colorful. That night, all of our eyes were burning and our eyelashes burned off. It was horrible. Yeah,

I mean it was hot, and nobody could really tell. Like, this is what I don't like about television. Y'all can never tell how cold it is, how hot it is, right, or like what we're really going through, Yeah, how uncomfortable it is anything. Yeah, yeah, that's true. Right. It's like because even um shooting that Miami trip, well you couldn't really tell. I guess they showed us like getting rained on, but it wasn't like they didn't show like the magnitude

of the rains. Yeah, no, they didn't like you, And I got like poor, I got demolished. But anyway, yeah, yeah, anyway, but the burning, Yes, eyes were definitely burning because they were cooking food right next to us. And then it's like you you leave California and were and if you let's say, you say, why do your eyes burn in California from the pollution in the morning? You know? The fall? The haze you know how in California is small. That's it. That's it. That's what do I call it? Fall? Fall?

It is small? Oh smog, small smog, It's one of them. It is horrible in the morning. Yeah, so you have to wait for that to burn off, that's what they call it has to burn off. Oh really yeah, which is about eleven o'clock. Oh wow. Maybe, So you can't go outside until them you do. But you gotta close your eyes. I'm like, real tight, or put your glasses on. But glasses don't protect you gotta have goggles like yes,

your big jackie yos put those on. Anyway, I kind of I'm gonna do some research and find out where these five hundred thousand people are going. Yeah, I'm gonna coming here. I'm gonna circle No, they're not coming here, but I'm gonna circle back. Maybe it just got to explain. Oh, you know they're probably going to like Montana and North Dakota, like Alaska, like all these like yeah, and living like on a branch you think, by the way, did you don't? So? I was on Instagram and did you know the Calis

She so yes, mushrooms, but it's it's like, okay, so I bought I bought a product called brain food and it's made from the mushrooms that and it's like you know that sweet mushrooms is not weed. I mean you know they it's not just it's not it's not a hallucinogen. But then why I buy it because she sold it to me? Okay, okay, so what is this supposed to do? So she has like cows that she milks. She has like she grows all types of like you know, fruits and vegetables, and

she makes like jams in nice Yes my mushake. Yes, that's her web. Bring all the boys to the y'all, Yes, milkshake. She's really in full. Really, I think the idea just started where I wanted to start to grow stuff, and I started growing ingredients and making sure that I was getting the very very very best and then figuring out the best ways to harvest him to process them. So just wanting to make sure that the quality really is

just always always the top notch. She's just so like beautiful and natural and she's just like she just has this like great spirit where she's just talking about this her farm. And where's the farm. I think it's in California. Okay, so she clearly didn't move. She's not one of those five hundred thousands, right, Okay, I'm gonna check it out. Okay, So what do I mean, I'm gonna buy some jams? Yeah, yeah, jams? What else? Was it? Wing sauce? What about the olive oil?

Like olive oil? Okay? Um, so the mushrooms is like ground into like a powder, So it's a brain food that you can put into like um coffee or almond milk whatever, like a shake or something. And it's like, you know, supposed to help your brain. You know, I'm always trying to find it. My brain always stuck. So I'm like, I need something how my brain. But but whatever the ingredients are are good for your brain. Okay.

So I ordered that and I ordered I think I ordered a hair product because she has like something nice curly hair. I'm trying to bring up my natural curls. Are you really? So I walked into Robin's house and I just I mean, I love my friend and she's beautiful, thank god, because she looked crazy today. Y'all. Her hair is wet and it is. She didn't even comb it. You don't even comb it through. No, you don't curl.

You don't comb your natural curls. You can comb it just to get the tankles out and then like shake it. I combed it in the shower. Oh you did, yeah, okay, it's you don't okay, Okay. So so I have like my hair is um, I have two different hair textures. It's like where I have like underneath, I have like these nice bouncy curls and then on top, I have these straight pieces, okay, and I'm trying to figure out how to get these straight pieces to be you know,

Yeah, she got new boobs and she took a perkinset and she said she was high as a cake. I'm like, that's every Tuesday with you anyway. No, it's not. We love Ashley, Okay. So asap Rocky, I'm shady today, Lord ha Mercy. Asap Rocky is now the

spokesperson or whatever, the face of Gucci the cologne. So everybody's like kind of shading him because everybody's like, well, if your girlfriend was not Rihanna, you would not get this job, right, And I kind of don't want to do that to him, Okay, So what do you want to do to him? I want to give him his own his due. He was asap Rocky before it Rihanna, he was. But what can you name one of his own? Umm? I doubt me. That's Travis Scott okay, ya ya ya

Why not I would stand on his own two feet okay, but also let him like it. He knows that. Do you think he thinks that he got a Gucci campaign because he was just Asap rocky? Does he? Do you think he thinks he would have gotten this Gucci campaign if he were not with Rihanna? He knows the deal,

he does, yes, But that that's stripping his manhood. No, it's not. Okay, I mean I don't know that he cares about his manhood. Like sometimes I look at him and it's like he he looks more groomed than Rihanna. Oh or more you know what I'm saying, Like he looks uf Yes, okay, yes, press just here is nice and pressed. Okay, Well, Asap, I'm here to say that you know you got it on your own merits, sir, because his song is what I don't. I don't know

any of his songs. However, I can sing several of Rihanna's exactly moving on like you like to say, Oh my god. Okay, wait wait I have one more. Okay, So we do need to talk about because we we you and I have discussed this where we haven't discussed this publicly. You got your your Beyonce ticket. Oh okay, because because this is people, I want y'all to understand, because y'all know Robin's been hating on Beyonce something the

beginning of time. However, she called. She texted me and said just that I got my tickets and I was like, what hunt because I was waiting for my code. Mike. You know, I had the email with the code because I had registered and all that good stuff, and I ain't gotten my code. So I was like, she was like, it's open, you can go, and I was like, oh shucks.

So I sat in the corner. You know, when you do anything important, you got to sit in the corner and concentrate and concentrate and make sure your feet are warm for whatever reason, and like, get it done. So I got it done. Okay, okay. Yes. So so a wonderful listener and Instagram follower messaged me and said, the tickets for the Maryland show are open. You don't need a code, you can go on there. And I was like, oh, yes.

So I went right on there and it was right low and behold, it was right I was going down. I got found my tickets and then a screen popped up and it was like into your coat, and I was like, I'm like, I don't have a code, and then I just hit the X button to close it out and I kept on going. Oh, they didn't ask me for my code. They did, what dare you faith? Fifth? Okay, I'm the sex oh man, I know because like because of why I went on the fifth, you probably bought

up all the tickets, all the good tickets were gone. Well, no, there were still tickets. I probably didn't. Like, I don't want where you want, like you want to be on the floor. I want to be up close from personal where where you sitting. I'm like row four huh of

like of one hundred level like one hundred level section. Okay, yeah, no, yeah, I don't I want to be like I don't want to be like this, like my neck craned and like, you know, I want to be like Okay, so I'm like row four huh of a one hundred level sections like kind of like they're good seats, they're great seats. Actually, they're they're really good. So yeah, so I got the tickets, right,

So I bought two tickets. Yeah, and then when my kids came over school, I was like, I gotta be yance tickets and they were like, I'm going, I'm going both I'm were like I'm going, and I was like, um, I want to think about y'all. But I'm like, shit, now I need to buy two more. Okay, you're gonna put them in a four hundreds. So no, I actually literally bought So I turned around and bought two more tickets in the row right in front of me. Okay, in the same section, right and yeah. Now I have

buyer's remorse. You have buyers remorse. I've spent a lot of money on his freaking tickets. Listen. I'm like, ain't no freaking way. I'm like, I don't. I don't spend as much money on a handbag, Like I don't. I'm like, oh, hell no, I don't have buyers remorse, and I spent a lot for mine. I have buyers remorse. But you bought two about two? I didn't buy four about two four? Yeah, you bought four. What you can sell it? I might be selling two of them. Yeah, Okay, I might be

selling too, but the boys want to go? Do they really want to go? If I asked him to sing a Beyonce song, they probably cannot do it. Why why why we always gotta sing the song? I mean, okay, true, but I'm just like, I don't even do they really want to go? I don't even think these are your kids, I know. So I'm going to put them to the test. I'm gonna make them sing. Yeah, they go ahead to do that because I have buyers remorse. I spent way

too much money on these damn tickets. Okay, well over something that I originally said I wasn't ever going to. But I've done seeing her fifty million times a concert.

But you know, this could be the last one. This could be And okay, so have you have you seen the debate with Stephanie Mills, Diana Ross and Beyonce talking about Diana Ross and Beyonce, No, so, step somebody was interviewing Stephanie Mills, and y'all if y'all don't know who she is, because she's been kind of like out of the game for a minute, but she was huge years ago and she was like, I think the original Dorothy for the Whiz on Broadway. Yeah, beautiful, strong voice. Yes,

small body, big big voice, big voice. She's great. Yeah. Somebody asked her about I think Diana Ross, and she was saying, how Diana Ross is so classy and glamorous, and Diana Ross was like the epitome in her time of just being that right, and so then the guy was like kind of wanting her to compare Diana to Beyonce, and she was like, I don't think you can compare Beyonce to Diana Ross. I mean in terms of stardom, it's still different. It's hip hop. I consider Beyonce hip hop.

I consider Diana R and B and pop, and just I consider her royalty. By the way, the Beehive is coming for Stephanie Mills. So this is why we're talking about this. But um, it's kind of like in my mind Michael Jordan and Lebron. Yeah, it's a different day in time exactly because Stephanie Mills was like Beyonce's hip hop, which I don't really feel like she's hip hop, especially not She's far more urban. Yeah, but like this last

album I didn't think was hip hop. That was more like R and b ish No, yeah, yeah, yeah, um no, it's not. Beyonce's not hip hop. I mean, she definitely has songs that would qualify as hip hop, but I wouldn't call her a hip hop artist. But like, why do we even have to compare? They're both fantastic. Well

that's what people do. I mean, you know what I'm saying. Like, so I think it's I think and I think it's interesting for someone to compare for her, to compare the two because she has seen them both in their prime right right, and appreciated them both in their prime, and so it's like, okay, well what's your perspect kinda, So it's not it's not like okay, I mean whatever, Stephani Emils. That doesn't mean like okay, that's solid gold or whatever.

It's just interesting to see her perspective. But I do agree it's like comparing Lebron to Michael Jordan, like it's two totally different eras, Yes, two different genres kind of yeah, style of play, yes, all of that. So with Beyonce and Stephanie Miles two different genres. Two yeah, Beyonce and Dana Ross two different genres. But also like technology was just different, right, you know, they're both classy, they're both glamorous,

but I don't think I just think they're different. Yeah, but let me just say I don't want the behalf to continue to come for Stephanie Miles like she was giving them both love. Right, you know what I don't like And I mean just hearing that, Like I don't like when someone says something that you don't agree with that you have to attack them. Yeah, you know what I mean. Like, and that happens a lot in our industry.

Like you know, I know people that support us get attacked, and that's just not right, you know what I mean. It's just like it's it's that is is like like why can't people have a difference of opinion? Why can't people like you know, the color blue instead of the color orange, or you know, like Beyonce or or Diana Ross.

Like that's it's just let's appreciate each other's differences. Yes, people need to stop that, like harassing people because they like something that you don't like, Right, that's extremely childish. Just respect that people have a difference of opinions, a difference of experiences, a differing of values, a differing of things that they like like it's just it's just that's

just crazy to me. But anyway it is. I mean, if I had to pick one or the other, I'm going to pick Beyonce, Yes, I mean week I'm sure my dad will pick Diana Ross. Yes, we will definitely pick the queen Bee. But no shade to Diana. She Diana Ross was the boss, right, okay, the original boss right the end. We ask you guys to ask us anything, and you all, you know, y'all never disappoint y'all. We got questions of all questions of all questions. So I'm

gonna read a couple that are quick. This one says from Pink Pop Box, who we love the Pink Pop Pop Boxes asked, are the deer still a problem in my house? Like in my yard? Because you know, the deer eat up all my foliage? Is that right? Foliage? Foliage? Um, foliage, not flowers, roughage. Anyway, they eat up my stuff outside my house. So there, let me tell you what the

problem is now. Yeah, so I have lights that go down my driveway and around my little circular thing, and I think in them frolicking, they kick my lights, so like I am constantly trying to like put my lights back up. They're kind of they've broken a couple, and I know it's them because they're mad at me, and I'm cool with them being mad at me. Just go

frolic somewhere else. Why are they mad at you? Because they because I didn't take it away all their food, anything that they try to eat, I have replaced with something else that they don't like. Okay, yeah, so they're mad, so they just want to kick my lights. So you replace it with like another some sort of plant or flower that they know that they don't like. Yeah, so if you go to like American plant or any nursery, yeah, they'll tell you the ones that the deer will not

mess with. Okay, yeah, because either they don't like it or make them sick or whatever. Okay, but are they still like attractive like pretty plants or flowers. Not as much, but I have to you know, I'd rather it's something be there than it just be a stick because they didn't ate eating all the leaves. Right, So yes, so answer your question, pink box, they're mad at me. Okay, So are you going to um in the spring like plant more flowers or something and just use some sort

of deer deterrent. Okay, this is the problem with the deer deterent. Okay, the we've hair, I still don't know if that works. The deer spray smells so horrible. It smells like rotting meat. Okay that yeah, that would deter me too. Yes, no one's coming in my house, not even the ups man. Um. It smells so bad that I don't even want to go there with that. Um. And if you get it on your hands, that spray

on your hands, your hands are left for a minute. Yeah, and that's very unattractive, especially if you trying to have sex with somebody anyway. So that's where the d are mad at me and they're kicking over my lights. Um. This is a This is a nice question because we've never talked about this, Robin. If if we had to add a third host to the show, who would an ideal host be? Oh, that's fun, Okay, maybe a guy? Would you want a guy? Maybe? Um? But like, who? Like?

What guy we can add? Charlomagne? Thanks, we could just go and just call it reasonably shady breakfast club, let's see, Okay, Like, honestly, we need to get cow on here one day. Oh yeah, cow would be fun because Cow is so funny. Yeah energy, it's like off the charts, yes, yes, so infectious. And yeah he's just as shady as you. But he's so sweet he is. He's a nice shade. Yeah. I think we should. Cow would be good. Yeah. I think we

should have him like as a regular light. Sometimes we're like, okay, we can get him. Yeah, yeah, we'll get Cow. Okay when it Okay, he's in the he's in his hair salon. We would have to do it on Tuesday through Friday. Okay, yeah, Cow, Cow works Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. That's it. Half day Tuesday. Cow's making all the money. Y'all are in right? Oh? Nice? Um? Okay, Um, let's see anyone else? What about you? I think of anyone, Well, the only person I can think of, like in our

world is Ashley. I think Ashley would add a young, perky, dynamic huh okay um, but what about someone not in our world? Like, okay, so someone not in our world? Um, I think we've talked about her before, but like Regina Hall of the actress. Oh yeah, she's funny. Yeah she's really funny. Yes, so appreciate her. Yeah, just someone that

has like a funny personality. Yes, and even if we're gonna do if we're speaking a little bit more intelligently, because you know, we kind of speak kind of crazy like Sonny from the view, Like she has that like legal background and she can be shady, but she her shade is always from like facts, right yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that would be interesting. Yeah, she would be fact checking you all the time. She's like, um, just out that's

not true, not correct. So anyway, my my number one would be, um, Charlottagne, but or maybe maybe Wendy Williams, you know what. Well she came out the other day and moving on. Uh so this okay, I'll let you do one. Okay, um, let's see Okay, we gotta are y'all going to see Beyonce? We answered that already, um do Zellen Robin, would you ever consider taking a road trip together and record your time? Yes? And yeah I was yes, yeah that's called a show and another check yes,

rob down. Yes, but you know what, I've actually been saying that for like a few years now, like especially and with the kids, like I think it would be fun to get It was like when I was kind of like thinking like oh, this would be fun to do. It's like, oh, well didn't um what's your name? Kim's Osiac? Oh we need talk about kims Otiac. Didn't kims Otiac? Okay? Um? And on tardy for the party whatever, don't be tardy. Like they did a little road trip with their kids

and stuff, and so they did. Like, oh man, but I would have really loved to like hop in an RV with our kids. We still got time. Yeah, yeah, we could do that. Yes. So now somebody did ask robbing, is there a Dixon baby coming? Is that an answer? Is that an answer today? No? No, no, no, I'm not bringing either, although like one will. Still I have not Okay, so I'm still I'm not on any type of birth control? Oh really? For how long since Carter I did? I had? What? Yeah? Cares what? You have?

Not been on any type of birth control? In thirteen? I was on an IUD for like a year, but I felt like it made me like I couldn't lose weight on it. Okay, but like, yeah, no, I don't. I don't like what birth control like how it makes me feel. So what what's the Dixon birth control method? Um? Well, you know the old school pull out method or the um let's just you know, hope nothing happens. Well for me it's like, let's hope nothing happens, and for one

it's let's hope something happens. Oh method. Wow, Yeah that's interesting. I didn't know that. Yeah. Yeah, that's scary. Yeah I'm living recklessly. Yeah, I mean for a decade now. Yeah, ok yeah. So um, he still really really really really really really wants a baby, really yes, And like every time I think we like put it to bed, it go back to bed. He'll see how to make a baby.

He'll see like a baby on Instagram and be like, oh, look at this, and I'm like, oh wow, yeah okay, so yeah, I gotta I gotta figure something out, um something, Okay. I think we have time for like one more or a couple more. So if if any and we'll do we'll do more of these later on another show. But anyway, if any of your five children we have five, yeah, we have five kids. Oh yeah, because I want to

talk about a door really quickly. If any of your five children said that they would like to do reality TV one day, what would you say, Yeah, your name? Um, I would I mean yeah, like I mean you know, it's so funny, like when people like message us sometimes and like, how can you say that you got kids and your kids this and your kids that. I'm like, my kids don't watch the show. They don't watch the show.

My kids have never talked to me about the show, right, so when someone else on our show, I won't really say who recently is like my kids said this and their teacher said this, and I'm like, that's weird. My kids never has never, not once said one thing to

us about the show. And like you can imagine a lot has been said about the show, you know what I mean, Like and you individually me individually, Yeah, wan, all of that, and I'm like, no teacher has ever said anything to my kids about what happens on the show. They might say, oh, I love the show, I love your parents, blah blah, but they're not talking like it's I'm just like, so that's kind of like a different answer to that question. My kids don't have a bad

experience with reality TV. And yeah, like I mean, it's of course I would tell them just to you know, use their um, you know, whatever feels right to them, right, Like my experience with reality TV, Yes, it's is it hard? Is it? You know? Invasive? But I feel like I've remained myself like it hasn't um You know, of course you have bad experiences, but you also have great experiences. I think as long as you are confident in yourself that I would just I would be fine with them

doing whatever. I agree. I agree Now artemists mo move. You obviously don't listen to the podcast because you're asking do you watch the Real Housewives of Miami? And if sell your thoughts? We didn't talked about Miami about seven times, okay, and I have said I thoroughly enjoy it. You don't watch that much, right, No, I haven't watched since the like the first four episodes came out. Okay, I thoroughly enjoyed. All those girls are showing up okay, okay, and they

are working nice and I appreciate them really quick. Oh, someone emailed us about The Traders. Okay, So first of all, I watched The Traders. You watch the whole thing. I watch the whole thing. Okay. Can we save that for a next another episode, another episode? Okay? Yeah, alright, cool, because yes, because I want to this is I have a lot of questions. Okay, okay, all right, all right, but lastly, I want to talk about a door really quickly, if you don't mind. A door is a junior in

high school. When she was maybe in fifth or sixth grade, maybe seventh grade, she was like, I want to play lacrosse. And I was like, okay, great, ye now to start lacrosse at that age, you're behind in Maryland for sure. Yes, you're totally behind. So she's and they didn't have it at her school. So she would take all of these camps and stuff. So she started this camp and every day I can buy pick her up and she get in a car and she started crying. She was like,

I'm not as good as anybody else. They are all laughing at me. She she just would think that they're laughing at her. And every day she would just cry, and I'd be like, a door, just you know, one day at a time, just practice because nothing lacrosse is very much a running sport and a stick sport. You got to practice. Yeah, So she would she made me buy her those one of those big bounce back the thing that I hate. But she would out there practicing

and practice and practice. She was like, you know, at the time, she was like, I just want to play varsity lacrosse when I get to high school. And she just called me because she made the team. She started trying out two days ago, and the coach comes out, it's everybody's JV. It's anybody that wants to play. And last year she played JV. Last year she played JV and was her captain of the team. She has gotten

so much better. So the coach comes out and the coaches like, um, everybody who played varsity last year goes stay into the right and so they did one drill and then the coach was like, all right, Adore, you go stay in a varsity. At that point, she was like, oh my god, I'm gona make it. I think I'm gonna make it. So after that tryout the first day she was she like jumped into the car. She was like, Mommy, I think I'm gonna meet ye Oh my gosh. It's just so amazing. So it's just like a journey that

she was born and she got there. So, like long story short, if you're crying in the beginning of whatever it is that you're doing, just keep doing it, yes, and just keep working hard because it will pay off. Yes, that's all congratulation. Yes, yes, and we'd love to see like progress. You always want to see like your heart work payoff. Yes, you know, yes, the progress.

I don't well, I'm not going to publicly that any school that kids it's very true, but I'm like, but you know, it's so funny. When I got the emails from the schools and they're like congratulations, yeah, accepted.

Yeah, and now

I'm like, oh my god, it's here. I literally almost cried and so but now I'm like I was, I was like, I'm like, crap, now we gotta figure out which school we're going to. Yes, in that application process, just for high school, it is annoying. It's just I don't even remember it. Did you You only want it because your girls were at the same school the whole way, right? No? Different school? Yeah, okay, but I don't remember the application process.

But it was only like one school that you wanted them to go to, or did you apply to multiple No? I applied to one? Yeah yeah, well no, no, no, I mean but so for us, it was like we're applying to like multiple schools, and it's just like every school has a different you know, you gotta shout O day and this and that orientation and the interviews and the different essay questions, and it's I mean, it's a lot.

It's a lot. Yeah, And then you blink again and they're gone, yeah, And I'm like, Corey, you better make a good decision because Carter is right behind you and he's following you, like, we ain't doing this wherever you go.
