We Went From Classy To Ashy

I know, I know, it's so crazy. What's up, y'all? Yeah, what's up? And we have merch. First of all, we have a new website. It's called reasonably shady dot com. Yes, we have our own reasonably shaty website. And I must pat myself on the back. Um Taylor insert applause, the um I created the website myself, or I built it I shopify. Um. So what you're looking at, that's Robin's hard work, right it is. And we're gonna be adding to it, you know, hopefully maybe we can add some

some other features other than merch. A blog, maybe some great announcements sometime soon. Yes, yes, yes, announcements, yes, but but definitely check out recently shady dot com. Sign up for the newsletter, the mailing list like this, that's going to be another place that you can really interact with us. But we do have some merchant stock. I know, before we we sold out really quickly of like our hoodies

and stuff. But now we have we have enough. We also have we have black hoodies, we have light gray hoodies and dark gray hoodies. So and white right, um? And white? Well well those are out so the white are the crops? Those are out of stock, right, okay, out of stock on O say maybe and soon? Oh and we have hats of course, yes, yes, yes, So you know we we really appreciate all that you do. And I want to say that I appreciate Robin Dixon because I had nothing to do with this new site

of ours. I am not the techi one of the two of us. Um I if she if it was my job to put a site together, shall I'll be five years from now. I'm still clinking around on the on the computer trying to get this together. So I want us to thank my partner in crime robbing because she's amazing. Um. All right, So it's that time of the episode in which we give our reasonably shady moment of the week. What you got? Okay? So I have my hairstylist. His name is cal and y'all y'all know

him and see him. He's on the show with me. Um, So I use Carraton. Do you get Carraton? Treat you do? Okay? So I get him, like once a year. It keeps my hair from from looking like an afro. Okay. So I was like about a month ago. I was like, cows just once a year, but once maybe twice. Yeah. So I was like, cow, I need you know, I need a little Carraton and he was like, okay, um, there's a supply chain issue. And all the Carrington's are in the ship coming from China there on the ship.

They're on the ships. They in the middle of the ship. I said, how you a liar and your pass all the way and I and my hair is a bush. I have an afro. Not really, but okay, I know you wanted yes, so it it legit. And what happened was he really just didn't order it right, and so it wasn't on no ship, It wasn't stuck in any People nowadays will take anything that's going on with the government and use it for their advantage. He was using supply chain issues to his advantage, because that's a very

valid issue going on right now. I mean, what your furniture is delayed up the supply chain, right, my my hats took forever to get back in stock the supply chain. You're admitting you were lying you didn't order the hats. No, no, no, no, no, that's true. Okay, no, it's true. But everything is taking like more than twice as long as it used to

take right you know. So it's just like whether it's a supply chain or it's like you know the boats that are all stuck at the cargo you know, trying the cargo ships trying to wait their turn, and your stuff is on a ship somewhere in the middle of the ocean. Like okay, well, I'm just but it definitely is. So if someone is like, you know, I'm a home body.

I don't really like leave my house. So if like my friends are like robbing you want to come out, and I'll be like, no, it's the supply chain, you know. Why does that have to do with you not leaving? Like I can't make it the supply chain didn't deliver my clothes, you know. You know what I'm saying, Like,

that's like a great excuse. That was like the excuse, like once I had, that was the greatest thing about having kids, right it still is like when somebody asked me to do something and I don't want to do it, or I don't feel like doing it, or you know whatever, you can always be like, oh, I'm so sorry, I can't make it, but I gotta take my kids somewhere. It's really important. But I want you to know they know that you're using your kids as an excuse. I

don't know that you know that. I don't know. I mean now that I told even since I told you, you still don't know that true. It could be very true, you know what I'm saying. So like that is like the greatest thing about having kids. I want to that's the greatest thing about having kids that you can use them as excuses to get out of things. What what about to love? That's great too? No, No, I love No, I love my kids so much. That's amazing. But that's okay,

that's like the plus. That's like the bonus, you know what I mean? Okay, that you use them to get out of what the rest of your life. Okay, I love it. I love it, like I don't have to, like because in the past I would be like, Okay, what am I going to think of? All right, um, I gotta flat tire. No one believes that, right, No one believes that. So I don't like to like come up with stuff like in jinx myself and then like you really get a flat tire, you know what I'm saying.

Or you're like, oh, I'm sick and I can't come and the next day you're really sick, you know what I mean. Yeah, So if I just say, oh, I gotta take care of my kids, well I gotta take care of me, you know what I'm saying. Like, Okay, what is your shady moment of the word. My bed, we're like all on a tangent. By the way, I woke up with a weird sore throat, raspy throat. This is this is Robin sixy. So with the recipeat, we do sound weird. No, you sound the same? Yeah, fine,

all right, in my ears, I sound different. So my shady moment of the week happened last week when I was co hosting the welcome reception for the c I Double A Tournament, okay, which was in Baltimore, Baltimore. Yes, so the c I Double A was has been in Charlotte, North Carolina for like, you know, years and years and years, and Baltimore bid and they got the tournament to move to Baltimore for a couple of years. So it was

a huge deal for Baltimore. And you know, I'm from Baltimore, and so I was there, excited to represent from my city, excited to welcome the people to Baltimore for the c I Double A tournament, such a huge event. So my co host have co host. It's a very nice for seven very you know, we have teleprompter, beautiful stage lights everything, you know, all the dignitaries are there, the mayor, all

these delegates, people young shady moments. I got one from him too, Okay, So don't talk about that, my man, it's not you're gonna laugh at it. So, uh so I have a co host. His name is Malik yobash Wait a minute, where's his lips? Ashy? Because Malik Yoba does not know something called chapstick, okay, and he has it. What was the first movie show he was on New York and under. He hasn't known chapsticks since New York. Okay, where your chapstick? Boy? Okay, I'm sorry I went on attention. Okay,

I'm sorry, I'm bad. Okay. So we are. We are charged with, you know, the very important job of reading the script the teleprompter. Don't tell me Malie can't read. Well, Molick didn't want to read. He was like, he watched and we were in this like holding room before it started. He was like, who wrote that script? And I'm like, oh lord, you got a problem with the script. He's like, I don't care. I'm not reading it. I'm like he

made an announcement. Yes he so, so before we even hit the stage, he already warned me that he wasn't going to read the script. Now, I'm very much like I was asked to do a job. He wrote, These people spend time to write this script. They have all these people they need to bring to the stage remarks, readings, and I gotta do my job. So we got we get up there and he starts off, what how don't even how did he even start? It was just like, hey, y'all,

what's up? I came down here from Brooklyn, and you know that, you know that building on whatever whatever street in West Baltimore. Yeah, you know, I helped develop that. That's a hundred and something two hundred something units in Baltimore, and I had quadruple bypass. And look at my scars and he pulls his shirt out and it's like, you know, showing. He literally shows the crowd the scar on his chest. And I'm standing there like, oh hell, now what the like, Like,

first of all, we're on a tight schedule. Yes, it's that script was long as hell, was a lot of people that they wanted to bring to the stage. And he literally he started off, but did he had did his stomach look good? And his chest look good? I won't even look we're looking at mc gutty. Okay, so we're looking at mcgutty scar. I wasn't with Chap with Chap lit was I was the emoji with the hand on the face. I wasn't even looking at his scar.

And like everyone, It's so funny because everyone, and I know, like so many people in the cry they all looking at me like what the heck? So I'm like, alright, molikue, So clearly you don't want to read your lives. I'm gonna read them for you. Oh really read the entire script, like entire script. And what is he doing on the side, Literally,

I'm bringing the mayor to the stage. I'm bringing quitting for me to the stage, bringing like the c I double a commissioner, and the presidents of the colleges and all these delegates. And he's literally just like like he would interject. He might have read literally five lines from that script. I want to told him, boy, get off the stage and I'm gonna get your check for the night because you ain't doing a thing. Yes, it was so insane, So that's rude, Molika yo, but you are sad,

you know. And I posted on my story he literally talked about me and one me me married because we were just chit chatting in the back room and he asked, you were talking about relationships and I'm like, yeah, I'm married, you know, I'm engaged to my ex husband. So he literally gets on the stage and it's like, yeah, you you were marrying the same man again. And he was an NBA player, so we like, boy, by was he

secretly trying to like talk to him? Them lips is dry and honestly that thing was over and he was actually he left before our job was done. Of course he did. Of course he did because he got paid before he got there. That's the problem. And he literally left and we still had more of the script. Like it was like a little break. It was like a little musical piece or whatever. And they were like, okay, we need you all to close it out. And I'm like, all right, cool, So I like stand by the stage

all right. That dude was gone, like peace out, nowhere to be seen. I mean, that's listen, Malik. We we have thrown you straight under the bus. You're extremely shading, right, and good luck getting another gig, sir. The end stick to New York under cover. Now we need to give a big go ahead. You cannot tell you about the great Congressman spice and food and I used to work for him. Okay, yeah, at what he thought, I was you you must not you must not have stood out

when he was working for him. He knows me. He literally got on the stage like a hand in the microphone. He's like, thank you first lady. I'm like I'm like, you're welcome. Oh my god. So he was so confused but then I think he might have when he was up there like figured out that ain't first lady, that's that's En Dixon. Because then he walks off to stay. She's like to wan us at high I can't. So he was trying to fix it and he was trying to cover. Listen, Koiec is old. We love him. He

does good. He does, he does, he gets, he gets it tight and right in that face. Okay, that is funny to me, but listen, people get us confused all the time. I know I have do have a funny story about that. So I have another girlfriend named Erica, and she kind of looks like me as well. So I went to a concert to see jay Z and Um. Erica's husband is Kevin Lows and he is a big

record guy in the music industry. Um used to work for Jeff jam so obviously he knows jay Z. So before the show started, like Erica had to go to the bathroom, I'm just standing there with Kevin, and you know, Jay walks up. He dass Kevin off and he's like, what up girl, and he hugs me, and I didn't have the heart to say I'm not. I hugged him back. Like, I'll take this. Yes, I acted like I was Erica. It's so good to see you. I was like, how how's be doing? Oh yeah, I was Erica for a

good two minutes. Okay, I would I would take that role. And let me tell you what. Let me tell you what else happened. So Jay then had to go to his um, his green room to get ready, and Erica walks out the bathroom and he sees her and he looks at her and he looks like confused. He was so confused, and it was so fo that said Eric, I just acted like I was used for Jay. She was like what okay, But anyway, we digress. We do want to give big, huge shout out to Jackson Supreme Court. Yes,

and our new black woman. I'm gonna say it again, black woman Supreme Court Justice. It's a first and it is about dad on time. It's short. Is it's amazing. It's so beautiful to see, Yes, And I mean I think it shows we've we've become a very very long way as we had taken a very very long time. But yes, it's well deserved. I'm excited. I mean, we

needed that voice. I needed that voice right and and you know, we have known, we mean being you, me and you, Robin, that black women are the smartest people on Earth. And so now she's going to be able to represent for us and show everybody that we are the smartest people on Earth period and to Storby. Okay. So another thing that's been happening in the world these days is it seemed like COVID over. Okay, the COVID

is over. In my kids school, they don't have to wear a mask anymore, and to be quite on, in my gym, you don't have to wear a mask anymore. And to be quite honest, I'm sick of these damn masks in my mind. In the beginning, Robin, I don't know how you felt, but I was like, oh, you know, the mandate says I don't have to wear one, but I'm still gonna wear it because you know, I just don't want to be a carrier. But now I'm like to help with them damn masks. I'm over it. I'm

over them too. I definitely am and I was, you know, definitely very um obedient, you know, and we we'll wear my mask. But I'm over at my kids though. It's so funny they they're they're not taking their mask off even in their school. They can wow. Kids want to keep it on. Yeah, my kids took the mask and through it in the chair. It was done with it because you know, my girls are like our face. Our skin needs to take a break, our facial skin needs to be so they are done with that. Well, Robin,

we didn't. We didn't talk about the obvious. What's that? It's the obvious. We did not win a CP. We want to thank all of you who voted for Reasonably Shady to win the double A CP Image Reward. However, Robin and I are big fat losers because we did not win. Robin and I were extremely sad, but we got over it because it was nice to be nominated. But in double a CP, let me tell you something. You know everybody says, so it's nice to be nominated. Look,

you're torn with my emotions. Okay, my emotions are scragile over here. Don't be toring with my emotion. But as well not have nominated us. You got my dad all excited. He was calling me every eight seconds. Did you win? Did you win? Did you win? I'm recording this, did you win? I'm like daddy stopped. Just go to bed like it's over. We didn't win. I was sad because I was really like, yeah, we're going to win. I really thought we were going to win. We had a chance. Yes, yes,

I mean we don't want to. We don't want to give shade to the person that did. When this is recentably shady. We will give shade. Jamal Hill she won. Do we know her? Do we care? Okay, fine, we do like you. But congratulations, Okay, let me be the reasonable one. Yes, congratulations to all the phenomenee. Yes, congratulations to the winner. We are so happy for you and we look forward to your continued success. But god damn it, next time we better win because because hell, if I

see you in the streets, I might fight you. Do you think we'll get nominated again? I don't know. Not with what we're saying right now. What do we have to what do we have to do to get nominated? Y'all right? I felt like, you know, I'm a single woman. Who do I need to sleep? Who do I need to act? I want to get Please? We need another chance. We're gonna win next time. Listen, I'm not above sleeping with people for things. Tell us, she ll Us volunteered

to do that. Okay, listen, there's a guy that we swore we never talked about again. We have to talk about him one more time. We just give it up. I already said, listen, talk, We're gonna keep talking. But he makes me mad. He makes me angry, but we're not mad at him this week. His name is Kanye, Yes, Kanye West. Kanye is a genius. This is my problem. That boy he knew from childhood he was going to be. Okay, so Kanye has for those for those of you all who do not do not know, he has a Netflix

special out called Genius. Right jay e e n you why you something wrong? But that that's just tell you right here. He's not a genius because he's spelled it wrong. Okay, but maybe he is because we're talking about I know, so if I've only seen two parts, so so you know how Netflix usually like releases everything all at once, like they're releasing it one I think one per week, so it's three. It's a trilogy. It's a trilogy, so that means there are three parts. I've seen too, and

we've seen two. Okay, now, these first two. I was very impressed he Yes, I was highly impressed, highly just it was so intriguing just to see the process first of all, to have the so his his homeboy, his homeboy Coony Coody. Coody Coody is video documenting everything that Kanye is doing when he's like trying to get on,

he's trying to get a record deal. He's got his his you know, he's a producer, he's got his beats like he literally like like they had the foresight to know, like we need to document this because Kanye is going to be big one day. And I think when you have that force, like when you just know that in your heart, like I'm going to be the ship and I need to show everybody how I became the ship, right,

Like that's amazing. So we're literally seeing like everything Kanye was doing trying to get put on and his emotions and his beautiful mother so supportive and that we love you. I mean it, it's it And literally, honestly, I feel like you watch this and it helps you understand Kanye so much more. It does. So I took away from it regardless of what you are, what you're passionate about, right,

regardless of what you're passionate about this. Two parts that I saw is so inspirational for you straight up just getting your hustle on right, like this man yourself leaving in yourself and getting your hustle on. He was doing stuff like, um, I heard Pharrell was in the studio. Yeah, I'm gonna find him and we're gonna we're gonna do something called my song. Let me play you my song and I'm gonna video tape videotape you and how you react to my song. Like, no, it was gonna be

a reaction. Yes. He went to Jamie Fox's party at his house and was like, Jamie, I want to put you on the song. Jamie was like, okay, I got a studio. Okay, Jamie's drunk. He's like, okay, let's do it. Like the the hustle of that foresight of that them him him demand, not demanding, but like making no bars about bars. I don't know if that's the term about the fact that he was remember that show on MTV. Oh yeah, you heard it first. He was like, I'm

gonna be on there. I'll be there like figure it out, y'all, figure it out. Whoever's whoever's the hopes I'm gonna figure it out. And he was on there. He was so Farrell told him, this hunger that you have right now, don't ever like, let that go, Kanye, let that chick go. Okay, but you know, hunger is gone. You know. It was really cool to see Kanye literally changed the culture. He

did change the culture of how people dressed. Remember back then, everyone was wearing big, baggy clothes and Kanye said, I'm gonna be the best dress rapper. And he literally slowly chipped away at how people dressed. Not only that, he changed a a how rap music sounded sound. It was more R and B rap right. He introduced a whole new flavor to rap music. And it was so interesting to see, Like, you know, he was he was signed to Rockefeller, but they were toying with him and Dave

was playing with his emotions. Dame was like, boy, you little sit down, a little boy. But they weren't making him a priority. But it was kind of funny to watch, like the artists that they were making a priority and I'm looking at that we never heard of them. I don't want to hear the music. That music is horrible. And then you have Kanye coming in it's like music that you're like, you know you can like groove to R. He really literally changed, He changed the fashion and change

rap music. Yes, he went into the studio with Jay and was like, Jay gonna put me on his song because Jay needs to understand that I'm a rapper. Then he went and spent his own money. People always say, don't spend your own money, but he if you believe in yourself, go go right ahead and spend it on his video. Sent a two way page. You don't understand two way page that dates everybody. Okay, if you had a two way page and then you oh, um, two

people to come to watch it. So Dane came and saw it and saw it kind of like it was a pack room. Everybody was loving the video and then they put him on. Then they made him a priority. But like he had to do all that ship by himself. And guess what, I'm not mad at you. Like that's the Kanye. We love new Kanye. I don't want to talk about you. Oh Kanye, you were that man? Did that? Ye? And I think the third episode we're going to see the new Kanye emerge. We would be talking about the

third episode, but it would be interesting. But but yeah, it was definitely good to see. Definitely have an appreciation for him and his heart work and his on it. His drive is determination anybody whatever industry and you can watch it and draw some inspiration from. I'm highly I felt like I was I'm not doing enough. Me and Robin got like eighteen jobs. I still feel I saw that thing. I was like, well, damn, I you working hard.

Kanye's over here getting it right, because if we did work hard and if we would have won, we would have one. Okay, But speaking of shady Hollywood unlocked, Yeah, I'm coming for y'all. Y'all shady y'all. Ain't right what they said the queen was dead. They put a post out and said myn of England, Elizabeth is Dean what straight up? Like they didn't like, they didn't said what. They weren't sort quoting someone now, they said the queen is dead, and my heart like skipped a beat and

then I said, you know how you gasp? I was like, the queen so Kigo Grace, my crazy daughter, she was like, what's that mean? That means she died? What are you talking about that? What's that mean? But the queen is not dead. So Hollywood unlock. Y'all need to fact check, y'all not TMZ. Tm Z don't miss a beat. Teams always gets it right. If tm Z says it, it's truth. How they would unlock, I don't believe nothing. Y'all say, why would they do that? I don't know why they

did that. I mean, that's just a hot mess. So anyway, I'm mad at them for that. But you know, we we move on two things. One, you know, Uncle Joe also known as the President has spoken and he said, y'all who got them? Ill gotten p p L loans? Is it PPL um p PO the loans that they was giving out. Oh remember health insurance p P baby people. You know people. Clearly I didn't get one the most that y'all was giving out. The p P PAS said

coming for you. He said, we're coming for you. He said, we have a special task for us, for the people. They created a job lie about the and and they were already getting people. It was so crazy, like early when they first started giving those things out. Yes, it was like two weeks later, like yeah, so I was arrested. Yes, he had a Lamborghini and yeah, like people who got who got houses with the people did it on purpose

to set people? Know? I think that they really thought that the people lived with legit because people were hurting, the people that were hurting, and they were just trying to get the money out fast. Yeah, it was not for plastic surgery. It was not for Bob, it was not for that. It was not for none of that. So guess what, y'all gonna have to pay that back. And guess what. I hope they come get you because it was not for that. It's messing up the economy.

That is a mess. Can you imagine? Yes, I can imagine a whole lot of people are going to get their b b ls with P P P. Now that is a mess. Okay, I do want to give a shout out. I noticed this go sound crazy to Savannah James, that be Lebron James, that thing looked good. He'd I know what an thet our nation has gotten into. I know, I don't know. It's like she's They've been in l A long enough, you would have thought this would have

happened years ago. Yes, but looks amazing, amazing and and and you know, don't get us wrong, like she was always a beautiful woman. Yes, she just was a little more like chill and laid back. But now it's like, wow, she got the fashions, he got the hair down her back, the body. The said Lebron, don't you even think about looking at anything else but me? She looks damn good. She looks amazing. So Robin, listen, I know that the whole world is talking about this Russia and this Ukraine.

Oh yes, and I actually had to go do some research because I know what the hell was going on right too. But but I am now informed. Yes, Okay, wait, can I hold on? First of all, I gotta take my mint out of my mouth? Somebody d M mean was like their pet peeve is when they can hear me chewing on my men, really sucking on my mint. So I'm taking it out. Okay, thank you whoever that us for getting robbing together. But I really kind of want to say, what is wrong with you? I can't

hear that. I'm sitting right next year, I can't hear this ment. I don't know. I must have been one. I must have been going at it. I don't know. Okay, I apologize to anyone and just and just for everyone to know um Robbin is the holder of ments for the Real Housewives of Potomac. Okay, anytime she comes on the scene, she gives everybody ments. She always has her ments, like if we eat dinner, like afterwards she pulls out

her mints. Everybody gets Robbin mints. F hy. I pretty much like, okay, and let me tell you my ments that are like because whenever I came him out, people are like, oh, these are so good because I I got them from a photographer an event years ago. He gave me a mint and I was like, what are these? So, if you're ever in the store at the check outline,

get the breath Savers. It's those round circular plastic containers. Okay, it's breath Savers three hour mint and they have it's like a green and gray and white package, silver package. They're so good, yes, and they are. They come in speriment and then I think the other flavor is like a like a winter green, like a peppermint. I don't know that that that containers like blue and gray and

they actually last three hours. We've tested it were But yes, if you ever get there, if you ever see those, picked them up because they're really good because everyone is like, oh I and you will never see Robin in any capacity without that little round thing either in her purse, in her pocket with her no, because people be all in my face wanted to talk, and I'm like, wait, man,

let me pop them in. I don't want to know one talking about his red staying, you know sometimes like if you don't eat, like if you haven't eaten it all the time, like you're breathing you a little kind

of a little time. Yeah, so I'd like to keep my man Okay, okay, so yeah, the Russia and Ukraine, Okay, Like I saw rumblings a few weeks ago about Russia and Ukraine and they were showing the people in Ukraine, um like people like you and I like women with little small children, um, learning and training, how do you use the web in just how to like you know, get ready for war? And I was like, oh my god,

what is going on? So first of all, I want to say, UM, my prayers and my thoughts are with everyone that has to deal with this, whether you have family there, or you are there, or you know people there. I mean, I cannot imagine being in two and literally dealing with a war like in your city and having to defend yourself and having to take arms and you're not it's I mean, I'm I cannot believe it's it's horrible.

It's Putin trying to be a big fat bully and just like, how do you just decide you're gonna take it? Just up and decide. So that's why I was so confused, like where is this coming from? So so Carly R d o O sent me a post from Instagram and it was somebody breaking down the Ukrainian Russia crisis in simple terms that for those of us that have no idea what's going on? And um, so this this follow me. Okay,

this is what's going on. Ukraine used to be in an abusive relationship with Russia, feeding him, letting him use her car, and giving him whatever he asked for until she built up the confidence to call it quits back in ninety So this is thirty years in to make it okay. So so they called it quits in so Ukraine. I mean, this helped me understand everything Ukraine and Russia. Russia was the abuser real you know, back in Ukraine

called it quits. Since then, Ukraine has been working on herself, becoming a strong independent woman with help from friends like France, America, Poland, et cetera, offering her support, loaning her money, and helping her find her way. I love it. I love it. Ukraine has been enjoying being single for thirty years and looking forward to continuing to grow and create new friendships.

I love it. Story of my life. Yes, Now Russia, being the toxic X that it is, wants her back that ex boyfriend is the worst, the worst, and does not want her meeting new people, creating any new relationship. Just when you're looking good, feeling good about yourself, they're China, you know, come all up in your face and watch you back. Russia probably said to Ukraine, Okay, you can have your freedom, let's see how well you do. And then Ukraine, you know, and now you're on the street,

and now they're jealous. So a couple of weeks ago, Russia started sitting in front of Ukraine's house, and when her friends asked him what he was doing there, he said, oh, nothing, just getting a little bit of exercise in, that's all. So after her friends told her that Russia was potentially getting ready to do something bad to her, he said they're lying. They just want you to be scared of me,

and that's not what it is. So yesterday and this this was posted I don't know a week ago, so whenever this started, yesterday, Russia are broke into Ukraine's house, beating her up and taking advantage of her while on live stream and double dog daring any of her friends to do something about it. And if they do want the smoke, Russia got that thing on it. Russia, we don't even like you. That help. Like I literally read that and I was like, wow, right now you understand.

Now I understand what's going on and why not that it's fair or makes sense. It's awful, it's sad, but that really broke it down right, And now I feel like I hate Russia even more. I can't hate when the when the toxic X tries to come back, talk about you can't date nobody else, you can't be friends

with nobody else, exactly. I hate that Russia just just going about your business putin and what what what I do like in all seriousness is the fact that like all these companies like Apple, oh yeah they're taking the money out, Yes, they're the Russian currency has like dwindled. Yes, and Switzerland said, you know that all that money that you got over here, Yeah, no, you can't get it. I can't even access I'm like, that's really badass, right,

go Switzer, Lizzie. So the last thing I saw was that the you know, there's been like a convoy of Russian tanks that were like forty miles out and there they still haven't like quite made it there. I think they ran out of gas. Yeah, apparently they're like running out of gas or breaking down and stuff like that. But I'm just like, I I hope we can resolve this, and you know, we we record a few days, Like you listen to us on a Monday, we record a

few days before that. So I pray by the time you listen to this recording that this is oor it's over, that it's been resolved, that no more people have passed or died. I think, did I hear as of today was like over two thousand Ukrainians. I think so, yes, I think we can end this by um like kidnapping all of the plastic surgeons in Russia because apparently Pootin that's his thing. He tries he gets his face on all the time. So if we just take all the

plastic surgeons out, he might stop this. That's going to force him. Yes, well that an Apple. If Apple just cuts off service, right, and they don't have no service, so Apple is not the service provided. Well you know you know what I'm saying. Okay, there's the service provider. Just cut the phones off the Internet. It's just just

cut them off. And I'm happy that. Like the rest of the world is like, look, nobody wants war, no one, no, and it's it's scary because I'm like, and it's so interesting because my kids are so invested in this, they kind of know more about what's going on than I do. Um because they're scared. They really are scared that, like we're going to war and they're like asking me, like, what you know about the draft is they're going to be a draft. They're scared, and so I really hope

we can resolve this because this is not not good. Alright. So twenty years ago, it was a man by the name of Want Dixon. I'm telling the story because program can't tell it right because you know, somedays she likes one, someday she doesn't, So she can't tell this story Okay. So I was watching TV and everybody get every news

station was like one Dixon. One Dixon came from He came from the brink of destruction and his family was X, Y and Z and he he popped up out the hood and he's like Jesus and he goes to University of Maryland. It is now time for March Madness and they are in the championship and what's the who's the Who's the commentator? Um? Dicky Town he was the best on one Dixon. Like he praised one Dixon from head

to t Okay. Anyway, it has been twenty years since One Dixon and Company one the University UM won the national championship basketball for the University of Maryland. So they all got together the other day. Yes, the team, the school, the athletic department, whatever, they just I had to celebrate the twentieth anniversary. I mean, first of all, we're all like, you know, I went to Maryland, so I was there

when it all happened. We're all like, oh my god, I can't believe it was twenty whole years ago when one and his teammates won a national championship. And I think it's you know, a part time flies. But it's also because like those memories, I don't know what it was about being at Maryland at that time and about that team and about you know, I know one had the really compelling story and he was really skinny and small and undersized and not really expected to be successful

on that level. Um, but I don't know what it was with those memories of that time, you know, not just for me, but for people who went to Maryland, people who live in Maryland. People you know, yeah, like you remember, I remember how insane and bonkers. It was just an exciting it was when that was going down. And so it's just like wow, like because those memories are still so strong and so vivid, It's like, wow, I can't believe it was twenty years ago. Maryland hasn't

had a championship since, right, Yeah they have. I mean they haven't gotten anywhere close, but but you know they're going to get them back. Well. But but it's so it makes it even more special to me because I'm just like, you know, that team obviously they had some you know, magic sauce amongst the group, and they all just worked together. Yea. No, it was really cool because um, they did have magic sauce, they weren't. They didn't have

any McDonald's All Americans on their team. You know, that's the guys that are like the top, the best best players of the country. They didn't have any of those on their team. They had guys that like really weren't super highly recruited. They just had a great coach that believed in the players. The players wanted to play hard for their coach, and they believed in each other. And what they also have is what a lot of college teams don't have any more these days. They had seniors

on their team. They had sad in school for years, you know. So Juan and Lonnie and Byron were seniors, and Steve Blake and Drew Nicholas were juniors. And you know, you had Chris Wilcox who was there until his sophomore year and he left for the NBA. But like that, you know, nowadays it's like you have these great players. They go to college for a year and then they out and they bounced. So it's hard. It's hard to build a team. It's so hard to build a team.

It's so hard to win um And it was really nice that they celebrated the twentieth anniversary of them winning the national championship in two thou two, and I posted this on my Instagram. It's the funniest thing. They bring them all out on the court and Corey, who is thirteen years old and was nowhere near a championship, was not on the team, walks out on the court with the whole team. Like the crowd is going crazy, you know,

they introducing the team. They're crazy, and and I'm looking, I'm like, no, Corey did not walk out there with them. I'm like, who let who let this walk on the court? Why? I had nothing? I was in the suite, the box and all the player is it going down and court? Just he wanted his shine. He was with his daddy, you know what. But it was cool because core is very He's a very laid back, very cool like not very emotional, but but I could tell that he was

very excited. He got it to experience that. So it was cool. That's nice. He's proud of his dad, and you know what. So Robin posted all these pictures on on the Instagram. So I was perusing the Instagram, so I was like, well, robbing, there's some Cutei's in in the in the line up here, So where these cuties at? And Robin poo pooed on all of them. Robin said, you don't want not they are one of these boys men I should say. I said, well, damn, okay, fine,

then I had to move on. So you was in the line up and uh, you wanted to talk to me, and guess what, I can't. You can't talk to you because Robin has decided that you are not worthy. I mean, I'm just saving a time saving you. I'm just saving your time, okay, And there's okay, And speaking of dating, Uh, did you see the Tendler Swindler? Tender? Did you watch that? Yes? I watch to Tinder. I was like the Tinder Swindler. Okay, so this is a show on Netflix. I think it's

like six or seven episodes. That thing is a mess. Oh my gosh, he was. I mean, okay, that thing is a mess. But those women are stupid. And let me just say for I know, I don't I say this all the time. There was no black woman that got swindled. Okay. So the Tender Swindler is a man and he's he was he's originally from Israel, right, and he was getting women. He okay, he was posing as the sons of a billionaire and his father he literally like legally changed his name to this man's last name.

Um it was like Levive Levive something. So this is so the Leviv family owns diamonds, their diamond family, they're billionaires. Um. So he posed as the son. But he was so slick with how he did it. See, I don't want to give it all the way. Yeah, but I'm not gonna give it all the way. But he One thing we can't say is he took a picture. He transposed a picture like to make it look like he was in the family and like posted it or something like. Dude.

First of all, when I saw a picture, I was like, oh, this is fake really, but but it looked it was a good fake. Yeah, it was good. I mean I wouldn't have thought that automatically, but you know, the red flags would have gone off when he's asking me for money, not money, he's asking for like a hundred thousand dollars.

He's like, can you go take out a loan? And these women are like okay, because I think you're in danger and I need to save you from the criminals that are that are after He's telling him he doesn't have access to money because he's being targeted and people, criminals are after him, and he's on the run and he needs and he can't track his you know, he can't use his credit cards or going to track him. He literally has women taking out loans to the tombs

of like a quarter of a million dollars. You can't get twenty five from me, okay, all right, I will not pick up a check if you take me to dinner. You ain't getting nothing from me. I mean, And and look, you know, I know I was swindled out of some money. But no, no, no, no, I would have drawn the limit.

We're gonna stop somewhere, We're gonna draw that. But you but you weren't giving money because you think that your boo is being sought after, not sought after, but under attack from diamond smugglers like what, No, But I mean the story was still you know, I mean, you would have failed for it. The story was give me money, and I'm gonna give you money plus on top of it back. That's pretty bad. Let me tell you something. None of these women got that money back, not the

only woman that. Okay, I don't. I don't want to give it about my situation. Okay, yes, yes, no, No No, Robin situation was different. You were investing, did and I'm so to speak to say I was stupid too, Okay, but this was not because you were dating somebody well right right right? Yes, but he was so slick with that. I don't want to give it away. He was so slick did it? But Carter Carter likes to watch a little TV with me, and he was like, yeah, these

women are dumb. I mean, he's just like and we we don't mean to talk about anybody who has gotten hood weight and bamboos make an advantage of but like, but be clear, this would not have gone overwhelming the black community. I mean, I'm just saying, we don't do things like this. We will give you a fish dinner and that's it. Okay. First of all, we don't gonna

have credit to get a loan. Uh speak to yourself, right, I got over here, good, Okay, so I could legitimately get one of these big as loans, but I'd be damned if I give it to anybody. But I was, but I was also confused. How are these credit companies giving these women these credit cards with multiple credit cards with thirtys and then he would run the card up and call the girl and say, hey, you need to call the credit card company and and tell them to

extend the limit. And they would do that multiple time. Right, Okay, and let's just let's be clear. This man was taking their money and like chartering private gents for for more women to do it with like tell too much much. Okay, We're done talking about it. But be clear if you if you are single and you're in the dating world and these I just all I want to say is be careful on these apps because these apps, you know, you don't really know what you're getting, um, and just

be careful and don't give nobody your money. It is so unfortunate because then you hear about so many people who actually find love and marry someone that they found on Tinderer, Tinder, Tinder Swindler. But oh, but by the way, that family is suing Netflix. Yeah, as they should. They're suing him, they're shooting him. And I think and I think Netflix because they brought all this exposure to their family from the show. Yeah. I was like, can I just change my last name and be no, you can

you can you stuck with Dixon? Honey? Okay whatever that means. Um, yeah, so if you are like straight up, just because I know so many of my girlfriends that are on Tinder, they're on Match, they're on like five different dating sites. Yeah, how's that going for them? I have no idea. I don't want anything about it because it's like clearly not my world and nothing that I would do. But um, yeah, it's I'm after watching this. Anybody should definitely watch this,

um docu drama or whatever it is and just be careful. Yeah, please, Like, if it sounds too good to be true, then it's then it's definitely too good to be true. And if you ask you for money, just said you're gonna give him three dollars and fifty cents and go on to send that to him and see what he says after that. All right, that is our show.
