Welcome to Reasonably Shady, a production

0:03

of The Black Effect Podcast Network

0:05

and iHeartRadio.

0:14

Welcome to another episode of Reasonably Shady.

0:17

I am Jiselle Bryant.

0:18

What's up? What's up everyone? I'm Robin Dixon,

0:21

Robin Dixie.

0:23

Thank you for being here with us once again. Yes,

0:25

we appreciate you as always as all

0:27

that way, never ever, ever, ever ever changed.

0:30

No, our reasonably Shasters. Yes,

0:32

we love them, love them so much. Yeah,

0:35

what's going on with peoplelue? Oh,

0:38

let's see shady

0:40

moment?

0:41

Yes of the week. Yeah,

0:43

just happened. Yes,

0:46

it did, like over an hour ago a little

0:49

bit.

0:50

It was very shady. Yes.

0:57

So you know, as we've shared, sometimes

0:59

when we record, we record two episodes at

1:01

a time. Okay, so this is the second

1:04

one of our episodes.

1:06

Do we need to tell them all of that? No, they don't need to know

1:08

that, No, remain mysterious.

1:11

Well, I think we said

1:13

that in response to, like,

1:15

like, sometimes we can't really address

1:18

certain things, We can't

1:20

address things in a timely manner because

1:22

you know, just to explain that, like sometimes

1:25

we can't really address current events because

1:27

it right exactly,

1:30

So that's why anyway, Okay, but yeah,

1:32

So while we were recording our previous episode,

1:34

which you heard last week, we

1:37

were like eleven

1:39

minutes into the show, and we were like,

1:41

you know, had good conversation, talked

1:44

about just the response

1:46

from my announcement that I was leaving, and blah blah

1:48

blah ah this eleven now, Actually,

1:50

I'm sorry.

1:51

We were probably like fourteen minutes into the.

1:52

Show, okay, And I looked

1:54

down at our recorder and

1:57

it was on zero's yes all

2:00

zeros, which is a panic yes, and

2:02

when that happens, that means it's not recording.

2:05

So I realized that our

2:07

memory card was full, and

2:11

it was just a whole frantic

2:15

panic because it's

2:17

really hard to like recreate what we've

2:19

already talked.

2:20

About, right, So we didn't want to lose that, right.

2:22

We didn't want to lose it.

2:24

Because when we talk, we're really talking, you

2:26

know, it's just very organic, it's very natural.

2:29

It's really hard to recreate that.

2:31

And so fortunately I was able

2:33

to check the card and see, like, first I

2:36

thought.

2:36

Like, oh my gosh, we didn't get any of it right, And.

2:38

I'm immediately like calling Taylor, who's our producer,

2:41

and he and he is like misterfix

2:43

it with everything and I'm like, walk us through

2:45

this.

2:45

Yes, yeah, So I found that we

2:48

actually recorded eleven

2:50

minutes of the show and then

2:52

the card was full and

2:54

it was stopped recording. So

2:57

it was like, oh my god, thank god. So at least we have these eleven

2:59

minutes. We don't have to we create what we already did because

3:01

it wouldn't have felt natural anymore. So

3:03

we were able to like save that, we were able

3:05

to clear the card off. I mean, it definitely

3:08

pushed our schedule back a little bit,

3:10

and Jaselle's already like.

3:14

So anyway, it was just like a big frantic

3:16

moment. But I want to like.

3:18

Shout out to Taylor because when

3:20

you listen to the episode, you

3:22

guys will never know that happens. Ever,

3:25

Like Taylor is a magician. Yes, I

3:27

tell you, there's sometimes we might talk about

3:29

something and we might be like, eh, take

3:31

that out, we need to take that out, and I'll,

3:34

you know, email Taylor and I'd be like, Taylor, can you find

3:36

a part where Jelle said something

3:38

really.

3:42

Always me? Probably yes, always

3:44

me, And I'm like take it out right.

3:46

Take it out please, and he will take it out

3:48

and it will sound like it never happened.

3:51

Yeah, never happened.

3:52

He actually did that one

3:54

of our Patreon our recent one.

3:57

Remember it was the thing that I told you that we needed to

4:00

to take out because it you

4:02

know, it wasn't.

4:02

Really discussed or whatever you

4:05

want to tell the people now.

4:06

No, no, anyway,

4:09

So when

4:12

I listened to it, I was like, I

4:14

mean, seamless, seamless.

4:16

It was so crazy. I was like, Taylor is the

4:18

bomb and what he does.

4:19

People would these production people they don't

4:21

get the credit because they're behind the scenes, you

4:24

know, and not just you know Taylor with the

4:26

audio, but the crew that works

4:28

on any television show. They

4:30

don't get the credit, but they work so imagine

4:33

and they work hard. Yes, if you're

4:35

not working hard, you need to leave.

4:37

So that was a shady moment.

4:38

It was very stressful and Giselle is like looking

4:40

at me like yet done.

4:42

Yes, okay, So my shady

4:45

moment. I was washing

4:47

my hair. I don't really do that that often,

4:49

but I was washing my hair in my house.

4:51

Myself do it.

4:52

Often because like somebody, because you go to the hair

4:54

slank.

4:54

Okay, no, I just have dirty hair that

4:58

too.

4:59

Anyway, washed my hair and it was

5:01

drying up and my

5:04

daughter Grace calls me and

5:06

she's like, I answer the phone.

5:08

My hair is like curly and just like big.

5:12

She answered the phone and.

5:12

She's like, whoa,

5:15

what is happening? And

5:17

she proceeds to tell

5:20

me that my curl.

5:22

Pattern ain't right right,

5:25

And I'm like.

5:26

First of all, how can you look

5:28

at somebody and say that they're God

5:30

given the curl pattern?

5:32

It's not right. That

5:34

is just rude. That is rude and

5:37

shady, right, And I was like, well, what

5:39

do you mean? She was like, it just don't look right. You just

5:42

and then she blamed it on me because she said because

5:44

I normally like have my hair like straightened,

5:48

then I totally ruined my curl pattern.

5:50

Yes, and she's the.

5:52

Curl pattern queen, right, clearly right.

5:54

And I have a problem with it because God

5:56

gave me my little curls, right, leave

5:59

me alone.

6:00

So how do you feel about your curls?

6:03

So she's gonna come when she comes home for

6:06

spring break, I mean summer vacation.

6:08

She's going she wants me to

6:10

like wear my hair curly. But it's a whole process.

6:13

She got like twelve different products, right, and

6:15

then she got to run it through the whole from

6:17

from the roof to the tip.

6:19

Yes, and it's a whole thing. It's a process.

6:21

She wants to walk me through that.

6:24

She wants to do it for you.

6:25

Yes, Okay, tell me how that works out

6:27

for you because my curl pattern, Yeah,

6:29

it is awful, Like.

6:30

Well, yeah, because we've been getting our hair straight.

6:33

Right, because we can we get it straightened. We have color,

6:35

and the color reallys it.

6:38

Yeah, but I have like different curl

6:40

patterns in different parts of my hair. Yeah,

6:43

it's horrendous.

6:44

So I'm probably not gonna go through

6:46

with this. Well I want to.

6:48

I think you should, right, I think you should

6:50

allow her to try, okay

6:53

and see what happens. But I kind of think

6:55

I don't know if yours can be I

6:57

don't. I don't know that you can do the same thing

6:59

that she does. No, because your hair is

7:02

not the same and my hair is older, right

7:05

and crunchy and brittle.

7:08

Yes, and it's not.

7:09

But she's been wearing her hair curly because it's so hot

7:12

in Florida, right, And she does

7:14

say it takes more time and all that, but

7:16

she loves it.

7:17

Yeah, yeah, yeah, So I

7:20

feel like she was just.

7:21

Keeping it real with you, she will, Oh totally.

7:23

And so

7:25

the shadiness is your curl pattern?

7:30

Oh, because mine is awful? Awful?

7:33

Yeah, I hate it. Well, it

7:36

is what it is. Okay. So I wanted to last

7:38

week. I wanted to talk about Jamie Fox, and we didn't

7:40

get the opportunity. So

7:43

have you seen Jamie Fox order the chicken wings?

7:45

No? Oh my goodness.

7:48

Okay, So I don't know how

7:50

this video got out, but it's

7:52

Jamie Fox ordering I guess for

7:54

his family or whatever.

7:57

So he orders six

8:01

hundred chicken wings.

8:03

Oh my gosh, do you know how expensive

8:05

chicken wings are these days?

8:07

I think Jamie could afford it, of course

8:09

I can, of course you can. What was happening?

8:12

Was this a family reunion? Okay, I'm

8:14

trying to turn it up to Robinica.

8:15

Here two one hundred living

8:18

pepper, bobecue wings.

8:20

Two we'll

8:23

go ahead, and oh

8:31

were coming, so we got

8:33

it? What

8:36

else you got?

8:37

Oh my god, this is a wing stop. Yeah,

8:40

he ordered two hundred lemon pepper. He ordered

8:42

like two hundred hot and spicy and

8:45

one hundred barbecue or something crazy.

8:47

Insane. That is insane.

8:50

I need to know what the occasion was

8:53

but I would love it if Jamie Fox

8:56

called my job seeking in

8:58

order?

8:58

Oh yes, back to him, No, she

9:00

didn't think it was him what And that's

9:02

why he kept saying like, oh, you're gonna

9:04

be surprised when I come up there and get these wings.

9:06

Right. I'm sure he sends somebody else, but right,

9:09

who the hell?

9:09

And then wait a minute at the end, after he ordered like

9:12

six hundred wings, right, she said, okay, thank

9:14

you'll be ready for twenty minutes.

9:15

Twenty minutes. Okay.

9:17

That blew me.

9:19

So this particular wingstop has

9:21

all of these wings just ready to go twenty.

9:23

Minutes, twenty minutes. Well,

9:25

I would think.

9:26

Six hundred wings is like their

9:29

daily around wings.

9:31

Right there that they're apparently

9:33

not they ready to whip up six

9:36

hundred wings in twenty minutes.

9:37

That's kind of scary. Why are you

9:39

telling? Right?

9:40

That's really scary when you think about just

9:43

food production is.

9:46

What the scary wast wingstop for me? But

9:48

I'm just I'm not gonna be shady. Now do you

9:50

eat blueberries?

9:52

I do? Yeah? How many do you eat? So?

9:55

Like every day? So like to what did

9:57

I eat today today? I had blue

10:00

berries in my yogurts.

10:01

Yeah, I'll probably put like fifteen

10:04

in it.

10:04

Oh wow, that's a lot. That's good, Okay.

10:06

Because they Okay, so the doctor reveals

10:08

that blueberries make you smarter.

10:11

Oh.

10:12

Yes, so the extract or

10:14

even the equivalent of one couple of blueberries

10:17

has improves

10:20

your cognitive cognition. Cognitive

10:22

cognitive cognitive, your

10:24

memory, your executive functioning.

10:28

Multiple studies show for even children

10:30

and adults across your lifespan.

10:33

Yeah, if you eat.

10:34

Blueberries, okay, you're gonna be smart

10:36

as hell. Okay, yes, all right, I just know

10:38

that blueberries are what they call a superfood

10:41

like it. They're very extremely healthy. They're

10:43

one of the fruits. I guess they're like

10:45

low glass.

10:46

They're a low glacemic fruit, you

10:48

know, like watermelon and pineapple, which has a

10:50

lot of sugar. Blueberries is lower

10:52

on the glacemic index and

10:54

it has tons of antioxidants.

10:57

Yes, so I need to get some berries. Yeah,

10:59

you don't eat blueberry I mean not like that.

11:01

I mean, if I'm if I'm out somewhere

11:04

and whatever I'm eating has blueberries

11:06

in it, Okay, cool, But I'm not like intentionally

11:08

getting blueberry O.

11:09

No, I intentionally get blueberries really,

11:11

yes, and that is like in my daily

11:14

Greek yogurt or cottage cheese.

11:17

Yeah, but you but you walk around your

11:19

house in circles. So like that hasn't

11:21

stopped you from doing that, Robin.

11:23

I know, I'm like, I didn't know about

11:26

the cognitive benefits.

11:27

Yes, because I can function it white

11:30

reap them. Yet what

11:33

is it gonna kick?

11:33

But right, I'm

11:36

still waiting. I don't know, but I

11:39

don't but it well, it's gonna kick in. Oh

11:41

lord, I hope so oh my

11:43

gosh. No, Actually the

11:45

scary part is, oh my gosh,

11:47

what if I didn't eat blueberries? What would

11:49

my life be like?

11:50

Right? Right?

11:53

Look, watch out wand rob is just gonna

11:55

be walking around the whole yard in circles, okay,

11:58

right, why gonna be like out the wind?

12:00

Though, like Robin, what's wrong with you? I'll be a vegetable?

12:02

Oh my gosh, this

12:04

is.

12:05

But I do love the fact that you know, we

12:07

can pinpoint something to say, hey, that

12:10

will help you.

12:11

Right, there's a direct connection. But you know, it's so funny.

12:13

I saw a story on the It

12:15

like ran across the bottom ticker of the screen

12:18

and it said eating

12:20

junk food in your teenage

12:23

years, Like eating a heavy,

12:25

heavily.

12:28

Laden diet with junk.

12:29

Food or whatever, I don't know, whatever the terminology is in

12:32

your teenage years leads to cognitive

12:35

issues Oh wow later in life. And

12:39

my first thought was, how did they determine

12:41

that?

12:41

Like, what will they do studies?

12:43

Okay, so when they did a study on people

12:45

with cognitive issues, like they

12:47

found that all these people ate junk food,

12:50

I was.

12:50

Just like, well, they do a junk food study

12:53

and they probably watch these

12:55

people over decades, right,

12:57

and then they see like the people that run into

12:59

trees and walk

13:01

backwards.

13:01

When it's supposed to be going forwards. They're not

13:04

drunk, they just ate lots

13:06

of junk food when they were in their team.

13:07

But and it's so funny because that would almost connect

13:10

to maybe the blueberry things. So blueberries

13:12

are natural food, healthy, have all these

13:14

benefits.

13:15

So if someone is eating a.

13:16

Lot of junk food as a teenager, they're

13:18

probably not eating blueberberries.

13:21

So I need to.

13:22

But it's just always it's always interesting when

13:24

you see these connect when they make the when they

13:26

have these studies and they make these connections between

13:29

something you did as a child or you

13:32

know, a young teenager or whatever, and how it

13:34

is affecting you as an adult.

13:35

Yes, well, I need

13:37

to go to Whole Foods, and yes, buy

13:39

some blueberries.

13:40

That's what my kid's gonna be eating.

13:42

You eat yogurt, right, eat?

13:45

I can put in my open hold them her oatmeal,

13:47

oatmeal, cinnamon, you know.

13:49

Yeah, put blueberries with your cinnamon. I put ginger

13:53

dry ginger in there. Ew.

13:57

Ginger is good for your stomach.

14:00

I don't. And it's good benefits.

14:02

Yes, I mean ginger's is

14:04

strong. It's an acquired taste.

14:06

Yeah.

14:06

You know what else?

14:07

Okay, get

14:09

get fresh blueberries, but also get frozen

14:11

blueberries because if you

14:13

put them in the microwave, microwave, they

14:17

thaw out, but they also create like a blueberry

14:20

kind of syrup. Okay, so

14:23

it's like that is like a natural sweetener.

14:25

So that's that's a good.

14:26

You're smart, Robin. Blueberries

14:28

are paying off. Yeah.

14:37

I sent this to Ashley because she lives in Arlington,

14:39

Okay, Virginia. Yeah, she lives in Arlington,

14:41

Virginia. Arlington neighborhood

14:44

named as the best place to live in America.

14:46

Okay, can

14:48

you believe that? Yes? Really,

14:51

yes, why what's so great about

14:53

Arlington?

14:54

Arlington is very

14:56

close to d C. Okay, but

14:59

has a suburban neighborhoody

15:02

feel true? You know,

15:04

it's it's generally safe,

15:06

Okay. I

15:09

mean I think you know, if you look at a lot of those kind

15:11

of poles or whatever

15:13

or stories, or a

15:16

lot of areas in our

15:18

area hood, you know, DMB surrounding

15:21

areas are rated really

15:23

high, and that's why it's expensive

15:25

to live.

15:26

I remember when.

15:27

But I think it's the proximity of d C. So it's

15:29

like you can have like, you know, you can go

15:31

into d C and do all the urban

15:34

type stuff and you're really close.

15:36

You can go home into your Arlington neighborhood

15:38

and live a suburban life.

15:40

Okay, I like that.

15:40

And the schools are probably great

15:43

and all that for the kids, okay, and the parks are clean

15:45

and so.

15:45

Ashley's response was like, yeah, that's why my house

15:48

is so damn expensive.

15:49

Right, Well, she didn't say that, She's like, yay, but

15:52

I remember when she was moving out

15:54

of living with Michael, even though they lived in Arlington

15:56

with you know, the two of them did she

15:59

was adamant about staying

16:01

in Arlington and I was like, I don't get

16:03

it, sis, but now I do.

16:05

Yeah, yeah, I get it.

16:06

I mean, but I bet you, but that is probably

16:09

yes, two slots behind

16:11

and Columbia's probably

16:14

number ten.

16:14

You know what I'm saying? Like, very

16:17

true. All right, we got some we got some emails and

16:19

stuff to read. You guys, keep before.

16:22

We get to the email. Yeah, I have a

16:25

question. Yes, it's like a dating flirting.

16:27

Oh yes, of my favorite subject.

16:29

Yes, because this I.

16:30

Actually experienced firsthand. It was very

16:32

it was very interesting to see.

16:33

Okay, So why was flirting

16:35

with you? No?

16:37

Okay, So Wan and I were sitting at a bar

16:39

eating dinner recently recently, and

16:42

we were actually at Xenia. Oh yeah, yes,

16:44

we were at the bar Xenia. And then so

16:46

to our right it was three dudes,

16:50

one older man.

16:51

And then two younger two younger guys.

16:53

So they were and the bartender is a female.

16:55

Okay, So the dudes, the three

16:57

dudes, all of them, and the female bartender

17:00

are.

17:00

Just chit chatting it up, talking about

17:02

that whatever.

17:03

They're talking about food and

17:05

drinks and music

17:08

and all this type of stuff.

17:09

Right y'all, you're listening to their conversation

17:12

we're I mean, are y'all adding to the

17:14

conversation. Y'all

17:16

are talking them? What is happening?

17:18

We're just we're not No, we're

17:20

not participating in their conversation yet.

17:23

Right, yes, but

17:25

but we can hear.

17:26

It's like, I mean, they're right next to us, you

17:29

know, I mean, it's just we go there a lot.

17:31

So you know, that's just kind of what ends

17:33

up happening. You sit at the bar and the end up having conversations.

17:36

Oh my gosh, I could add a shady moment

17:39

in that moment too. Anyway, Yeah, I'll

17:41

just talk about it later, I mean after the story. So

17:45

so they're they're like chit chatting whatever.

17:47

Talking.

17:48

So at one point, one of the guys says

17:51

to the bartender like, oh, yeah, what's your Instagram?

17:53

Yeah, so she tells her his Instagram. Okay,

17:56

so he's like, you know, it's follows

17:58

her on Instagram, right, So they keep talking

18:01

and blah blah blah blah, and then she said something about, oh,

18:03

yeah, well my boyfriend said blah blah blah blah.

18:05

And so the dude was like, your boyfriend,

18:09

your boyfriend? What

18:15

He's like, you just gave me your Instagram

18:18

what do you mean your boyfriend? You have a boyfriend.

18:22

Okay, I need to know the race of these people, Okay,

18:25

because I feel like this plays into

18:28

all of this. Okay,

18:31

this is hilarious. Okay.

18:34

If I had told guess these were

18:36

these guys were white, yes, okay, because

18:38

I don't know a black man. The older man was black.

18:41

I don't know a black man being like your

18:43

boyfriend, why, oh

18:46

my god. I'm like, a black ey would play.

18:48

Cool, right, A black guy would have been like, oh damn

18:50

you, I had a boyfriend, Like that's what black.

18:53

He was like a boyfriend. He was

18:56

mad, he was so it's

19:02

Larry. So that leads to.

19:04

Like my question, So then

19:06

you know, I'm like, wait a minute, So

19:09

because she gave you her Instagram,

19:12

right, which is public by the way, I'm sure,

19:14

yeah, it's public.

19:15

Right.

19:15

I'm like, so, because she gave you her Instagram,

19:17

that means that she was like interesting,

19:20

single and.

19:21

Open to dating. Yeah, and he was like

19:24

yes really yes No.

19:27

So apparently with and he was probub

19:29

did you he's in his thirties

19:32

like early tradies.

19:33

Okay.

19:34

Apparently this is the new way of

19:37

people trying

19:40

to like to know get with one another like,

19:42

this is the new way that god. No, no, okay,

19:45

this is the new way that guys instead

19:47

of asking for their phone number.

19:48

They asked for your Instagram.

19:50

For your Instagram it's And

19:52

the girl was like what, She's

19:54

like, it's just my Instagram.

19:55

I give you my phone number. I mean just asked my

19:57

Instagram. I'm like what, I think this guy's

20:00

on his own. He the only one to feel

20:02

it was.

20:02

It was like a debate, a conversation,

20:05

and it was like, you know, so

20:08

then we came to the So then I

20:10

kind of determined, like, Okay, I

20:12

guess these men expect you to say, like when they're

20:14

like, hey, what's your Instagram? For

20:16

you to say, hey, you know, just

20:18

just want to let you know I have a boyfriend. But this is my

20:20

Instagram handling what I don't know. But now

20:23

it's like so questioned

20:25

to you all listening, Yeah,

20:28

is this the new way of gods trying to holler

20:30

by getting your Atagram?

20:32

And it's so crazy.

20:33

So then a week

20:35

later, I'm in line in Chipotle and

20:39

I literally peeped the same thing happened.

20:41

It was a pretty young girl in front

20:44

of me and there was a guy. He was on his

20:46

way out the door and he saw her and he turned around

20:48

and he went up to her and I

20:51

don't.

20:51

I don't you know.

20:52

They were having like he asked her something, right, and then

20:54

he mentioned something about church or whatever. And

20:56

I heard him say what's your Instagram?

20:58

What?

20:59

Yes? And what she said, I got a boyfriend?

21:01

And she gave it to him, okay, and then he

21:03

walked, you know, and then they closed the conversation and

21:05

he walked away.

21:06

Oh wow. Then I asked her, I.

21:07

Said, I got to ask you something. I said,

21:09

I just heard him ask you for your Instagram? Is

21:12

that Does that mean that he's trying to holler?

21:14

Like? What does that mean?

21:15

Is that how you all now start

21:17

dating? And she was like, honestly, I don't

21:20

know.

21:20

See, yeah, this is a new phenomenon,

21:22

right yeah.

21:23

We need we need for our listen I mean o yeah,

21:25

our listeners to write us.

21:27

Right now, right right. It was so crazy

21:29

with the I was he was pissed. Maybe

21:32

he was dressed a drinks

21:34

that he had they were, I don't know, they

21:36

were drinking. I think he was like drinking beer. I mean

21:38

he wasn't like he.

21:39

Was just because it was my thing

21:42

Instagram is public or it can be public,

21:44

right, right, but your phone number is private,

21:47

right, So I'm not going to

21:49

give you my phone number if I'm not interested

21:51

exactly.

21:52

But you can go on you can go stop me on Instagram

21:54

you want, you.

21:54

Can go look at my Instagram page. Yes, it

21:57

was so funny, So this is a thing.

21:59

I thought that that's crazy.

22:01

We were just like we were

22:03

just dying.

22:04

Like I'm like, well, I didn't know, so you

22:06

know, the twins just got Instagram recently

22:09

and Angel posted a picture.

22:10

This is new to me too.

22:11

Angel posted a picture and a boy that's

22:14

interested in her in her commented

22:16

on her picture. But the comment was like very

22:20

generic, but it was the mere fact

22:22

that he commented, so she was so then the

22:24

door was like, mom, he's interested in Angel. I was

22:26

like, off of this dumb comment, no

22:28

he's not. And so they

22:30

were like yes because if he wasn't, he wouldn't have said

22:33

anything.

22:34

I'm like, Okay, guy's gotta try harder,

22:36

right, because this is absurd.

22:38

Right, And that's so crazy to me. It's

22:40

like you're you're giving these guys

22:43

a cop out. Really, you're really

22:45

making it easy for them.

22:46

But I mean, yeah, well

22:48

you know what, I'm not mad at that because let's I'm

22:51

talking about for the church girl the girl in Chipotle. They

22:53

can start instant DM at each other and

22:56

then you graduate to phone number.

22:58

Yes I agree with that.

23:00

Yes, yes, I like that, And that's kind of like a way to weed

23:02

them out. Yeah, And it was funny, it was interesting. So

23:05

she was open to it because she said they

23:08

were aligned. So he came up and talked to her

23:10

about church. Yeah, And so when I asked her,

23:13

you know, is this his way of trying to.

23:15

Get with you?

23:16

And she was like, I don't know, because you

23:19

know, for a long time, like maybe like

23:21

a couple of years now, I was

23:25

I can't remember the terminology she used. But she's

23:27

also into church, and so she was like, you

23:30

know, I wasn't into dating, Like I cut

23:33

that part out of my life, and I just

23:35

recently asked God to

23:37

send me you know, I just recently

23:40

told God that I'm open now

23:43

to meeting people in dating and

23:45

to send me whatever.

23:46

And then here he comes, and I was like, all she had

23:48

to do was go to Chipotle?

23:49

Right, And so I almost like, what I should have

23:51

gotten her numbers so that I could have found

23:54

out if they connected.

23:55

We can't be that.

23:57

We can't be that invested, Robin, Okay, we

23:59

got to walk. It was just it was so crazy.

24:02

So that's a good

24:04

scenario.

24:04

Y'all tell us about that. So then, so now I have another

24:09

question.

24:10

Yes, a couple, yeah too. There's all like dating stuff. So

24:12

I saw a post on Instagram.

24:15

It felt like it was all

24:17

right. I'm a very skeptical, skeptical

24:19

Instagram watcher

24:22

because I feel like everything is a skit.

24:24

Everything.

24:25

I feel like everything is planned, everything is opted

24:27

out, Everything is a skit.

24:28

So I feel like this was a skit.

24:31

But the girl was holding her camera

24:33

and she was a guy was picking

24:36

her up for a date and he's

24:38

in the driver's seat and he just reaches

24:40

across the car and

24:43

pushes the car door open, and

24:45

she's standing out there holding her phone and

24:48

she's, you know, filming him. And she's

24:50

like, you're not going to open the door for me? And

24:52

he's like, I mean, what, like get in,

24:54

like doors open, the

24:56

doors open, and she's like, you're not gonna

24:58

get You're gonna you're not gonna open the door for me.

25:00

I'm not getting in.

25:01

He's like, I just drove thirty minutes

25:03

here to take you on a date, and I'm about

25:06

to take you to a restaurant and pay for you.

25:08

She's like, but you're not going to get out

25:10

and open the door for me.

25:11

Like so it just they kept going like back and forth about

25:13

him not opening this door okay, and

25:15

then finally he

25:18

like gets out the car, opens

25:20

the door, and then closes the door. And it

25:22

was like, you know what, I'm leaving. You're

25:24

being too difficult.

25:26

I'm leaving.

25:26

I'm not taking them the date. I came all the way here and ah

25:28

blah blah.

25:29

Was she in the car? No, No, she didn't get in the car.

25:31

So he like got out, opened the door and then like well

25:34

yeah, and then he like changes mind. Yes,

25:36

this was a skit, right yeah. But the

25:38

question is, so, my question is.

25:42

If someone picks you up, you're

25:44

going on a date, it's your first date. They pick you

25:46

up, and they don't get

25:48

out to open the car door for you, what

25:51

are you thinking?

25:52

What do you do? Is that a deal breaker?

25:54

Right away? Do you say something that

25:57

would never be a first date for me?

25:58

You're never picking me up ok from

26:00

my house or picking me up from anywhere

26:02

on a first.

26:03

Date, right that So that's so let's just say this

26:05

is a date four okay, and you pick

26:07

me up, right, Yeah, you need to you need

26:09

to open up my car door, right, okay? Sure?

26:12

So if he does not, yeah, are

26:14

you saying something in that moment? Are you making a

26:16

mental note? Are

26:18

you you know? Are you like

26:21

going on the date and saying this is the last

26:24

like this is the last time.

26:25

I think I would make a mental note, okay,

26:28

and then if it when it had, if it happens again,

26:30

I'd be like playing, you got to open my car door, like

26:32

that's the gentleman, Like I'm an old

26:34

school girl and I like for

26:37

the man to open my car door.

26:39

Yes, I would have that conversation.

26:40

I guess the telling part would be if

26:42

Okay, so if he picks you up, you get in the car, you

26:45

go on the date, and now you're both in the

26:47

restaurant or wherever, and then you're both

26:49

walking to the car.

26:51

Does he open your car door? Then he

26:53

better? Right? So that's right.

26:55

So so I feel like I would wait and see what would

26:57

happened then.

26:58

Yes, before I like go yeah,

27:00

and I would not go off. It'd be a conversation.

27:03

Yeah.

27:03

So It was funny because like I'm looking

27:06

like I read through the comments and a lot

27:08

of people were like on

27:12

the guy's side, they were

27:14

like, Oh, she's being too

27:16

difficult, she's being too demanding,

27:18

Like yeah, forget her, forget.

27:20

Her, And that's why none of them have a

27:22

date, right, Yeah, that's why they all on Instagram

27:24

as supposed to on a date.

27:26

Right.

27:26

I was like so shocked, but then I'm like okay,

27:29

But then I'm like, but she's standing

27:31

there recording.

27:32

It was just the whole part.

27:33

That she was recording in didn't feel

27:35

genuine to me. But I thought I thought it was a good.

27:37

Yeah scenario, like a good question.

27:39

But some guys don't know that that's what they're supposed

27:41

to do, right, So you know, it's

27:43

a little like lets and

27:46

some women, I think it's not important to

27:48

them, right, So it's about learning

27:51

who you're dating, right, right.

27:52

But I think.

27:53

Nowadays when people are getting

27:55

our dating, they're like

27:58

picking apart every little thing, you

28:00

know what I'm saying, Like they're like looking for red flags.

28:02

To begin with.

28:03

I think I probably would have opened

28:06

the door myself, gotten in the car, and

28:09

then maybe later on been

28:12

like you know what, I just want to let you know,

28:14

like when you pick me up and you didn't

28:16

open my car door, especially on the first date, that was

28:19

kind of a turn off, And

28:22

I would hope you don't do that anymore for anyone else

28:24

or for me, you know, you know what I'm saying, Like I think

28:26

I would just but I don't think I would have stood there

28:29

and been like, you're not going to open my door?

28:31

No, And he was right for not wanting to go out with

28:33

her because it was the way she handled it, right, Yeah.

28:35

You don't have to handle things like an asshole, right.

28:37

Yeah, Like she didn't have to come at him in

28:39

that way. She could have even if she wanted him to open

28:41

the door, she could have been like, you know what, gentlemen

28:44

are supposed to open the door for the ladies. It would be nice

28:46

if you open my door, right right, right right?

28:48

Okay. I want to read this. I saw this.

28:50

This is from Shamarion who we love Gladden

28:54

Gladen, Gladden Gladden.

28:56

Okay. So the subject

28:58

is what would you ladies do?

29:00

Okay, So your husband

29:02

and you are divorcing because

29:04

he cheated and had a side

29:06

baby on you his side

29:09

chick and children move in with him

29:11

while you move into your own place. Fast

29:14

forward, in the middle of the divorce,

29:16

your husband goes to the doctor and finds

29:19

out he has cancer.

29:21

They give him one day to live, so.

29:23

He dies the next day. You

29:26

agrieve and go to the funeral and

29:28

all of that.

29:29

Fast forward.

29:31

One day you get a phone call and it's the side

29:33

check saying that your husband has a two point

29:35

five million dollar life insurance policy. That

29:38

she can't get it because

29:40

she's not his wife.

29:42

But you can get the money and give it to her. She

29:45

says that she really.

29:47

Needs the money because they're about to go

29:49

into foreclosure on the house and.

29:53

Take her car. What would

29:55

you do, Robin in

29:57

this scenario would

29:59

Robin do?

30:00

Because y'all already know what that would do? Right, Okay,

30:03

we know which is that would do?

30:06

Okay, I am a very

30:09

rob I'm about to go off. Okay,

30:11

Okay, go ahead, let me talk.

30:13

Okay, I'm a very understanding

30:15

person. I'm a very empathetic

30:18

person.

30:19

You are, But

30:22

it ain't no way

30:25

this woman is getting a penny,

30:27

not one penny, not a penny,

30:29

not a die no, no, not a

30:32

penny. But I'm I'm trying to figure out

30:34

why the wife didn't know about the life

30:36

by their life insurance, yes, because that's

30:38

not a new thing, the life insurance policy.

30:40

He didn't just get that, right, she should have.

30:42

Been, especially in that amount, yeah, not two

30:44

point five, so she should definitely know.

30:46

Well, whatever amount it is, one hundred thousand,

30:48

fifty thousand a million.

30:50

No, Now would you give the baby some because

30:52

that's his, his child.

30:54

No, I wouldn't neither.

30:55

It's his stupid faulty for

30:59

yes, but she with the side chick and having the face.

31:01

Doing all of that, and for

31:03

not setting them up whatever

31:06

you like. And I mean, we don't have any

31:08

time frame here. We don't know how long they

31:10

were together or how long you

31:12

know.

31:12

We don't. We don't have the timeframe.

31:14

But regardless, No, you ain't getting shit,

31:17

not a thing. This is for my pain and suffering

31:19

alone.

31:20

Yes, yes, you ain't getting a dad bak because she moved,

31:23

she had to move and get her all place.

31:25

That pain is suffering him right there right. Yes,

31:27

it's his fault.

31:28

So y'all haven't even been together that long, and

31:30

so it's your fault side check that you don't have

31:32

shit to begin with.

31:33

Yes, so no, so kick rock side

31:36

chicks yes, okay,

31:38

glad we aligned.

31:39

On that one.

31:40

I thought I was about to be I was like, if you

31:42

give this woman a dining, I'm leaving

31:44

reasonably shady.

31:45

It's canceled forever, allkay. So

31:53

Mallory Hole wrote.

31:55

And she said, hi, love Bucks literally

31:58

32:02

sixteen.

Wow what is this twenty twenty four?

Yes, wow, it's a long time. Yeah. So

32:07

32:08

Look at pictures of us and

32:10

our kids.

32:11

And I know especially the kids. Yes,

32:14

kids were babies.

32:14

Kids were babies, you could

32:17

we were so much younger, like, oh,

32:19

such, we've been in a time warp.

32:21

Yeah, it's so crazy.

32:22

Well, you know all the stress that has come

32:24

with being on the Real Housewives, but.

32:27

You can see it has aged us on our

32:29

face. Okay, it's funny like remember when Brock's

32:32

first six months and his hair with black

32:34

to gray overnight. Yes that's us.

32:37

Yeah, okay, so raw, unfiltered

32:39

and unapologeticly yourselves.

32:41

We need that in this world more

32:43

than ever.

32:44

Anyways, I lost my mom in twenty twenty

32:47

one, all due to alcoholism.

32:48

She was fifty one. She was my person

32:51

Teki Key with especially driving to

32:53

and from school or work, I always

32:55

called her, I'm sorry.

32:57

When I get in my car. Now I turn on the episode

32:59

of your podcast. It immediately brings me so much

33:01

comfort, joy, and of course laughter.

33:04

But more than anything, it has filled a void

33:06

for me in ways you cannot begin

33:08

to imagine. Oh that's so sweet. I

33:11

absolutely love y'all. By the way, what

33:13

about g Eb's as a fan

33:16

follower name for

33:18

Green Eye Bandits long

33:21

e, like the beginning of gizl

33:23

so pronounced jim jet.

33:28

J e biz

33:31

g Eb's. Oh, g Eb's,

33:33

isn't that what we say? Yeah, I think

33:35

she's saying something.

33:36

Different in the beginning, like

33:38

the beginning of Jazel Gee.

33:43

We don't know what you're trying to say, Mallory, right.

33:45

But she says big hugs Mallory from North Carolina.

33:47

Yes, yeah, we don't know how to pronounce

33:50

that jb jabs jebs

33:52

jebs.

33:53

That's what I always That's what I would

33:55

always pronounce it as jes. Yes

33:57

in my head when I would see it, I wouldn't

34:00

say g ebs or I would

34:02

say.

34:02

Jebs jebs okay, yeah, yeah,

34:05

jebs okay. The jeps so

34:07

speaking of that. So my Dutch

34:10

you and my aunt died. I told you my aunt died.

34:12

Yes, yes, so she

34:15

was I think ninety, and

34:18

she was amazing.

34:19

My aunt Joyce my father's

34:21

brother's wife, and

34:25

my cousin went to go was spending a

34:27

lot of time with her before she passed away. So

34:30

she would always say, can you

34:32

put my stories on?

34:34

And so my cousin's like, what are you talking about your stories?

34:36

Because stories is typically what they call soap

34:39

operas, right, and she was referring

34:41

to the real Housewives of Potomac. And so

34:43

she she every night she wanted to see

34:45

her stories, and she would so my cousin

34:47

would put her on.

34:48

She would fall asleep after like the third minute. She

34:51

wanted to see it.

34:52

So, I mean that made me so happy to

34:54

know that she was like wanting her stories.

34:56

That's so cute. Yeah, I'll speaking

34:58

of stories. This is so funny. I saw this the other

35:01

day.

35:01

CBS ordered a

35:03

new black soap

35:06

opera, daytime soap opera. Oh wow,

35:08

yes about like yes, about like wealthy

35:11

black people.

35:11

When's that coming on? I don't know, but I'm like,

35:15

can I move to l A and be on a cameo?

35:20

Can they film that here?

35:22

Oh my god, yes, I will

35:24

totally watch that because I used to watch Young

35:26

and the Restless and Bold and the Beautiful like

35:29

when I was like high school college.

35:31

I just got out of it.

35:32

I don't know, just as probably I had

35:34

kids and got a.

35:34

Little bit busy.

35:35

But that would be amazing if they could

35:37

do it and make it, make it good, make

35:39

it good like the ones that have been on for years.

35:42

Yeah, that'd be great. I

35:44

thought they were all going away. No, Young

35:46

and the Wrestles Still.

35:47

I watched Young and the Wrestles the other day the first time

35:49

in years.

35:50

Victor and Nikki Newman.

35:52

Are still married and

35:55

like Jack and Victoria

35:58

or Studio.

35:58

I was like, yeah, okay,

36:01

so so crazy are we are?

36:03

Asking CBS if Rob and Gazelle

36:05

can be on the Black Daytime?

36:09

So cool?

36:09

Oh wait, before we get into another letter, I want

36:11

to talk about I know we

36:14

like to share what we watch on TV a lot. Oh yeah,

36:16

yeah, have you watched The Resident?

36:19

Yes? Oh wait a minute, didn't I watch that? What's

36:21

that?

36:21

It's It's like a Gray's anatomy ish

36:24

hospital type show that aired.

36:26

On Fox for six seasons.

36:28

I don't think so so they just

36:30

like uploaded them to Netflix,

36:33

so you can like binge the whole the residence.

36:36

It's good.

36:37

It's so good, really so

36:39

good.

36:40

Okay, so good. You

36:42

need to consider a change before you kill any more patience.

36:45

Who's the hospital going to believe?

36:46

A third year resident with a doctor that bills twenty

36:48

million dollars.

36:49

A year could be one of those celebrity

36:51

TV doctors. You look the part you

36:53

watch yourself coming right.

36:56

I would like drop in every now and then and watch

36:58

with Wan. He completely binged it

37:01

and he I mean it's like, you know, you're

37:03

you're like, it's heartfelt, you're crying

37:05

and you know you're or you're happy.

37:07

Yeah, like it evokes so many emotions

37:10

and it was It's it's a really

37:13

I never watched grades anatomy or

37:15

er or any of that. This

37:18

one is not as like cheesy

37:20

as those appear to me. Okay,

37:22

this one is really really good.

37:24

So I definitely watched that. Is

37:26

it a man and a black woman? Are

37:29

they like that?

37:30

There's yeah, so the main characters.

37:33

Yeah, there's a black woman that's a main character. So it's a white

37:35

man, a couple of Malcolm Jamal Moore

37:37

Warner is a doctor on there.

37:39

Okay, so I haven't seen that, Okay, okay, all right, I'll definitely

37:41

watch it. Listen.

37:43

I'm still on Unprisoned. Yeah,

37:46

I have Lockdown lock Up yes Patreon.

37:50

So this there's a

37:52

prison in Arkansas? How many so like because

37:54

I think it's like eight episodes. I've only watched

37:57

two, but my hearty beaten real

37:59

fast. So the man, the

38:01

sheriff, decided they were gonna

38:03

try and experiment, put up some Netflix

38:06

cameras and open up. Oh,

38:08

the prison was on A twenty three and

38:11

one, so they're locked up for twenty three hours

38:14

and they're out for one hour. So when they

38:16

would open the doors for that one hour a

38:18

day, all these.

38:19

Fights to break out because everybody's just pinned up

38:21

as everybody's it's call, So

38:24

all these fights to break out. So the sheriff was like, you know what, We're

38:26

gonna do something different.

38:27

And in other countries, because

38:30

they don't have such stringent lockups,

38:35

it helps whoever is locked

38:37

up get back into society better,

38:40

right, Okay, and they don't they

38:42

don't have as many resimvaitism.

38:44

So what's that word.

38:46

Revisits when you when you

38:48

when you're when you get free and then.

38:50

You come back off.

38:50

Oh okay, rebit is it's

38:52

a word, is it. I don't know that it's not the word

38:54

that I'm saying, Okay, but it's a word.

38:56

Okay.

38:56

Anyway, long story short, he was

38:59

like, all right, in a week, we're gonna open

39:01

up the doors. Okay, seven day, I mean six

39:03

days. They did a countdown, and then finally the

39:05

sheriff came in and said, guess what, guys, Tomorrow, I'll

39:07

open up the doors and y'all are gonna be

39:09

free to maintain your own community.

39:11

And there's gonna be no guards.

39:13

The guards are going to leave, okay

39:17

all day twenty four.

39:18

Twenty five, seven, three sixty

39:20

five. One time somebody comes in, it's to give them food, okay,

39:23

So they can't leave there. They have

39:25

the outside and they have like the inside area. Yeah,

39:27

so they're not like in their little set, their

39:31

twenty four hours a day. So it was like

39:33

our one, Oh my god, what's gonna happen?

39:35

Hour two? Oh my god, oh my god. Our three?

39:37

No fights. There have been no fights. Everybody's

39:40

good in the hood. I'm

39:42

only on day two, Okay, I

39:44

don't know what happens how many days. Is that

39:46

this is a project for six weeks.

39:48

Oh wow, yees okay, and if

39:50

they can maintain they

39:54

will keep it this.

39:55

So this is what's driving the guys. They're

39:57

all accountable for each other, okay, So they're

40:00

like, don't mess it up, you better not fight, better

40:02

not mess it up.

40:03

So they're all like really being accountable. Okay.

40:06

So so what makes it so if there's no

40:08

fighting or anything happening, then what makes

40:10

it good?

40:11

Yeah, because it ain't given second, somebody

40:14

gonna go to hell off. Really, and right now, the

40:16

young, the older the older dudes are

40:18

trying to like be like

40:20

the ones that are like running the shop,

40:23

and the young guys are like, you ain't gonna tell me nothing.

40:25

You better not say no more.

40:26

Words to meet Claire partner.

40:29

And it's like they're about to fight any given minute.

40:31

Really, So you're just petrified. Are there any intimate

40:34

moments? One guy in the middle

40:36

of the night, and I think they forgot that there was

40:38

cameras because one guy that you wouldn't suspect,

40:41

not that I can't, right anyway,

40:43

one guy goes to second

40:45

night to his friend and so

40:47

he goes He's like, all right, sweetie.

40:49

I'll see you in the morning. Okay. So

40:51

I'm just like, well, y'all.

40:52

Have just slept together, right, since

40:55

all the doors are open.

40:56

I don't know.

40:57

Yeah, see, I would think that since

40:59

all the doors are open, they can do whatever. I would think

41:01

we would be seeing some of that.

41:03

Yeah, going on, so some phoning. Right.

41:05

So I saw on the Sopranos, you know, I binged the

41:07

Sopranos, which, by the way, Tony Soprano rest

41:10

in peace, but like he was playing on him.

41:12

He was like a man. Yes, you know.

41:14

One day I was like, Jamal, this is so freaking

41:16

funny.

41:17

I was like, Jamal, did you ever see the Sopranos, because

41:19

like back in the day, like I think

41:21

we we didn't watch the Soprano I think I

41:23

need to rewatch it because I was a lot younger

41:26

and I didn't really know what I was watching, right,

41:28

So that's probably a good one to rewatch.

41:29

Okay. He was like, yeah, just I saw it with you.

41:32

I said, Jamal, what are you talking about? Your lying?

41:34

He said, you were laying the bed next

41:36

to me. We watched the Sopranos.

41:37

Every married, right, every week I waited

41:40

for I don't remember, so you didn't

41:42

make a memorable player. Anyway,

41:44

what was I talking about? I can't remember

41:46

what I was talking about. Tony Soprano. Oh,

41:49

Tony Soprano said, Okay, if

41:51

you're in jail and you do

41:53

any mail on mail stuff,

41:55

yeah, it doesn't

41:58

count. Okay,

42:00

because you can't get it any other way. Okay,

42:03

so that's overlooked. You can use your hand,

42:06

you can, but okay, overlooked,

42:08

that's the rule.

42:09

Okay. That does not mean because they had this on Tony Soprano.

42:11

They had this big on the sopranos. They had this big because.

42:14

Tony had somebody in his crew that was gay and they didn't

42:16

know back in the day. I was like, wow, this is amazing.

42:19

So they ostracized him. I was like, okay,

42:21

that was just ridiculous. Yeah. Anyway, so

42:23

Tony said, when you're in jail, okay,

42:26

it doesn't count. It doesn't count. No, Okay.

42:28

So so if we have any listeners

42:30

in jail or out of jail, subscribe

42:33

anyone who has been in jail or out of jail, whatever,

42:36

send us an email and let us know and

42:38

let us know, you know, if that's

42:40

your thoughts on what tony'sprano said, it's true

42:42

your thoughts or just like school us, let us,

42:45

let us, because that that is a I

42:48

think that's a reasonable thing to be

42:50

curious about.

42:51

I'm curious about that. Yeah, yeah, whether that

42:53

is because I didn't

42:55

know that because Tony said it like.

42:57

It was a discussion, like all the men in the world

42:59

had a discussion, and they all said it in

43:02

jail.

43:03

Right, you get a pass. That's what you said, You get

43:05

a pass? Right?

43:06

Okay, all right, we're moving on. This is

43:08

our last last one that we're reading for the day. Amanada

43:11

Anderson am Amanata.

43:14

Ana either Amanata or Amanada?

43:16

Yes, how you doing girl? Okay?

43:19

So she wrote us and said, dear Robin and Zell.

43:21

In episode one eight, you talked

43:23

about the list of most educated countries,

43:27

Robin said to Halla,

43:29

if anyone listening was from Denmark, Okay,

43:32

okay, So that's exactly what I'm

43:34

doing.

43:34

OKAYI Halla,

43:37

Denmark.

43:38

My cousins and friends listen to your podcast

43:40

and are huge fans of the shows.

43:43

It is oftentimes the main topic of conversation.

43:46

That's awesome. I love that.

43:47

And I'll tell you pause when

43:50

after my after I made the announcement about me

43:52

not being on season eight or whatever, season nine, I

43:55

got so many messages

43:58

from people in Europe.

44:00

Wow.

44:00

Yes, they're like I'm in I'm in

44:02

England, I'm in or Even and in Australia,

44:04

I'm in Australia, I'm in, I'm here.

44:06

I'm there, and who were just like devastated.

44:09

We really need we really really

44:11

really need to go there and have.

44:12

A live show. Yes, we definitely do. I was.

44:15

I told you when I went to London, I was like

44:17

attacked at hair. I went to Merritt's and it was like

44:20

Justelle Bryant's hair.

44:21

I'm like, oh my god, how do y'all know me?

44:23

Like I was like floor, Yeah, yeah,

44:25

they're watching floored by the.

44:27

Number of people that emailed from from overseas.

44:30

All right, so she said, and before you ask,

44:32

yes, there are there is a black community

44:35

in Copenhagen, mainly

44:37

second and third generation immigrants

44:39

from Africa.

44:40

Okay, who knows that makes sense? We

44:42

are just we're just very few, probably

44:45

due to the weather. Must

44:47

be cold. Okay, yes, I.

44:49

Can confirm the health care is

44:51

free since we do pay high

44:53

taxes.

44:54

But it works really well that way. I like

44:56

that.

44:56

It is no secret that oftentimes lack

44:59

of access to heal health care affects the educational

45:01

rates. That's a whole topic

45:03

of its own. Yes, it is anyway, love and

45:05

support from Copenhagen.

45:07

Copenhagen. Oh, that's so nice. That's so

45:10

nice.

45:10

So that made me think about when I was in

45:12

Toronto the healthcare. Canada

45:15

has free health care, and

45:18

my short period in Toronto I was pregnant

45:20

then with Corey. Because

45:23

I want to play for the Raptors. I

45:25

didn't really like it. I guess

45:27

it's just as an American, we're used to

45:30

like our private our

45:33

doctors with their private practices and stuff.

45:35

But it just felt like very it

45:38

was routine.

45:39

You didn't get like any love.

45:41

Yeah, it felt like I was

45:43

a number, you know what I mean.

45:45

Yeah, And I was in a factory like when I would

45:48

go to the doctor's office,

45:50

and.

45:52

It just I didn't like it.

45:53

But you know, I mean, that's not to say that there's

45:56

anything wrong with it.

45:56

I'm sure the people in.

45:58

Denmark and Canada who have

46:01

their free public health care like

46:04

it, yea, because that's what they know. But

46:06

I just for me personally, I didn't like it. I really

46:08

liked having like the more private practice experience.

46:11

When I was in France, the

46:14

girls and I were with my girlfriend Erica

46:16

and her kids, and one of her daughters

46:19

hit her head and it was bleeding.

46:22

We had to go to the hospital. Erica took her to the hospital.

46:25

The stitches and the whole process eighty

46:27

six dollars, Oh wow, insane.

46:30

Wow America, Yeah, would have

46:32

been outrageous.

46:33

Thousands, yes, yeah, So I

46:36

think there's something too like this kind of you

46:38

know, healthcare that doesn't like break the bank.

46:40

Yeah, right, and how much?

46:42

And you have to just wonder, like how much are they marking

46:44

up everything the healthcare here?

46:46

Yeah?

46:46

You remember my this is the last thing remember my HYS

46:48

directed me with that was like eight eight hours.

46:50

Yeah, I had to pay for those eight hours. You

46:52

did?

46:53

So my healthcare is I

46:55

mean the surgery. It was going to be where I have my

46:57

healthcare set up, it was going to be a percentage that they paid

47:00

for maybe like eighty.

47:01

Twenty split, right something like that. Yeah. Yeah,

47:03

I had to pay thousands.

47:04

Thank god I had the money to pay for but it was thousands

47:07

of dollars because my surgery was so long,

47:10

and I can just imagine the number of people that

47:15

like I went and they go

47:17

into But more importantly I didn't. My

47:19

surgery we thought was going to be three hours, right,

47:22

it was eight hours.

47:24

So you can't predict that.

47:25

No, And yes, thank god, I'm

47:28

grateful that I'm able to pay for it. But people that are

47:30

in a situation in which they can't, it's affed

47:32

up.

47:33

Yeah, it's crazy.

47:34

Yeah, that so in that sense, the public, it's like,

47:36

so for me, I'm like, you know, I didn't like the public

47:39

health care experience, but look

47:41

at on the other side, it's like people have access

47:44

to it where you know, only

47:46

really the privileged have

47:48

access to the private, you

47:51

know, comfortable health care situations.

47:53

It's messed up. It's messed up.

47:55

And that's in you know, I talked about

47:57

the NBA players who were scamming

48:00

the NBA healthcare insurance program,

48:03

but your surgery, like what

48:05
