Speaker 1: to the eggs? I don't know. So you're not allergic,
Speaker 1: but I am. Okay, so I am moderately allergic to eggs.
Speaker 1: I don't have a huge reaction to them, clearly because
Speaker 1: I eat them every day. Like that was my great
Speaker 1: source of protein in the morning, right because my nutrition
Speaker 1: just told me I need to eat more protein.
Speaker 2: You do, so I make my eggs.
Speaker 1: They're quick, they're easy. So I like did a little
Speaker 1: digging and it was like, okay, you know, some people,
Speaker 1: of course have extreme reactions, life threatening reactions. I don't
Speaker 1: other reactions. And it went down the list and the
Speaker 1: one thing that stood out to me running nose.

Speaker 1: good protein?
Speaker 2: Yes, Cinema said sent an email, definitely. Okay, mine is
Speaker 2: very short, so my shade of ground is very short.
Speaker 2: So and I told you part a part of this.
Speaker 2: I went out of town, came back into town, and
Speaker 2: my wood floor in front of my refrigerator was like
Speaker 2: bubbling or not bubbling, but it was like something's wrong here.
Speaker 2: So I thought the kids it was warped. I thought
Speaker 2: the kids left water on the floor and they didn't
Speaker 2: clean it up, and I was screaming at them. I
Speaker 2: was like, y'all are the worst kids ever. I don't
Speaker 2: even know why I gave birth to y'all. I wish
Speaker 2: I could send y'all back to where y'all came from.
Speaker 2: But they were like, well what happened anyway? Long story short.
Speaker 2: I call my contractor to fix the floor. He was like, Giselle,
Speaker 2: it's the refrigerator. So he pulls out the refriger and
Speaker 2: the so I have water? Do you have water from
Speaker 2: your refrigerator?
Speaker 1: Like you can get water from you Yes, that pipe
Speaker 1: was just spurting out water in the middle of it,
Speaker 1: like somebody put a pin in it.
Speaker 2: That is wild, very wild.
Speaker 1: So did you move your refrigerator around?
Speaker 2: How would that happen? And I asked him. I was like,
Speaker 2: and it's gonna be real bad. But I asked him,
Speaker 2: I was like, how does this happen? He was like, well,
Speaker 2: you know some of this stuff is made in China, right,
Speaker 2: And I was like, dang, like horrible for these people,
Speaker 2: but whatever. So I he like temporarily fixed that just
Speaker 2: to get it to stop, and he had people come
Speaker 2: to like, you know, bring the whole humid afire, get
Speaker 2: the water moisture out, cut out the drywall behind my
Speaker 2: refrigerator to throw it out away, so we can, you know,
Speaker 2: redo that. So he was like, all right, I'll have
Speaker 2: people come over tomorrow to redo the drywall. That was
Speaker 2: a week ago. This is what a shady park moment?
Speaker 2: That was a week ago. Okay, I'm still waiting for
Speaker 2: a drywall to be fixed.
Speaker 1: Look, that little project is not going to be lying
Speaker 1: in Mohamma's pockets, but I'm going to pay it.
Speaker 2: I am going to but not going to be like,
Speaker 2: you know, thanks a lot, but high.
Speaker 1: Five but nothing compared to what doing on like bigger projects.
Speaker 2: Sure, okay, this is a very teeny tiny project, but
Speaker 2: it needs to be done. Yes, okay, So my refrigerator
Speaker 2: is in the middle of my pulled out it's pulled out,
Speaker 2: it's like the middle.
Speaker 1: It's still working.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's still working. Okay. So and then what.
Speaker 1: About your floor? Did you replace your well?
Speaker 2: First? You got to get the drywall done first, then
Speaker 2: we'll do the floor. That's the that's the what do
Speaker 2: you call it? He laid out what we're planning to do.
Speaker 2: That's the plan. But today the man's coming to fix
Speaker 2: like the real pipe, like to give me like a
Speaker 2: real pipe so that that thing doesn't leak again. And
Speaker 2: we're all good to go anyway. Whatever. So you know,
Speaker 2: what's not shady, cowboy Carter, it's so not shady. But
Speaker 2: I would love to know how you feel about it.
Speaker 2: You want to know how I because you know, I
Speaker 2: took my time and I listened to it so we
Speaker 2: could tell the people how we feel. And I.
Speaker 1: Wanted to make sure that I digested it. Yes, that
Speaker 1: I you know, gave it a chance.
Speaker 2: And if y'all don't know what we're talking about, because
Speaker 2: you Live under a Rock. Beyonce came out with Act
Speaker 2: two of Renaissance. Is this the Renaissance? Act to? Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think it's just act to Renaissance was act one?
Speaker 1: No, the Renaissance is all three? There are three acts
Speaker 1: in the Renaissance.
Speaker 2: Well, but what was the Act one? No?
Speaker 1: Okay? That that disco album like.
Speaker 2: Okay, but that it should be called isn't?
Speaker 1: Okay? So what are the acts? So Act one? Two?
Speaker 2: Three? Yeah? Too? What isn't of the Renaissance? Okay? Well
Speaker 2: we know two was Cowboy Carter? Maybe not, I don't know. Okay, Well,
Speaker 2: there's three acts three acts one was Renaissance. Two is
Speaker 2: Cowboy Carter? Right, okay?
Speaker 1: And the country music country album? So as you know,
Speaker 1: I was not thrilled when she announced the country album. Yes,
Speaker 1: because no, I'm not. I am a realist.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: I love Beyonce, but I'm a realist. And that Texas
Speaker 1: Hold Them song was booty cheeks.
Speaker 2: Okay, what what does booty cheeks mean? It's it wasn't good. No,
Speaker 2: it wasn't good. It was just like it was it was.
Speaker 1: I didn't like it, okay, and I'm not the only
Speaker 1: one that didn't like it. I'm gonna tell you that, right.
Speaker 1: I liked it. Okay, So Texas Holding came out, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I don't know how I feel about an album full
Speaker 1: of songs that sound like Texas Hold Them.
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, thank god? And this is be honestly always
Speaker 2: does this.
Speaker 1: She always puts out like the wackiest song as the
Speaker 1: teaser for the album. You know what I'm saying, your opinion, okay,
Speaker 1: in my opinion opinion, she puts out the whackst song
Speaker 1: as the teaser for the album, and then the album
Speaker 1: comes out and you're like, oh, okay, this is different.
Speaker 1: So I expected Okay, so I listened to Cowboy Carter
Speaker 1: and I actually really like it.
Speaker 2: Robin is giving Beyonce some credit phrase yes high marks, Yes,
Speaker 2: scale of one to ten. What are we rating this?
Speaker 1: Eight point five?
Speaker 2: Wow?
Speaker 1: Eight point five? I was prepared for my with my rating.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: If one of the kids asked me, I said, let
Speaker 1: me get it together.
Speaker 2: Yes, eight point five is good. What's your favorite? Do
Speaker 2: you have a favorite.
Speaker 1: I don't have a favorite yet. Okay, I need to
Speaker 1: see this album. There's not one song that like really
Speaker 1: stands out above the rest in my opinion. I think
Speaker 1: most of the songs are great.
Speaker 2: Are great, right. I like y'ah y'all.
Speaker 1: Yeah, see like you said, Yeah, I don't even I
Speaker 1: can't even tell you what that sounds like.
Speaker 2: He's like yine y yine Yeah, okay, okay, yeah, that's it. Okay.
Speaker 2: And then I like the one with the guys towards
Speaker 2: the end.
Speaker 1: Yes, Shahboozie. The guy's name is Shabooz.
Speaker 2: Yes, that one's really good. I love a little Miley Cyris, y'all.
Speaker 1: I love that one.
Speaker 2: I've said before, I love Miley like so.
Speaker 1: I never paid attention to Miley. I never liked, like,
Speaker 1: I don't know whatever her her like popular songs were.
Speaker 1: I never really like them. But she sounds amazing on
Speaker 1: this song.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because she talks like this, she's got that singing voy.
Speaker 1: Yeah it was that was. That was a nice duet. Yes,
Speaker 1: I like, I like, I really like that song. I mean,
Speaker 1: I like most of the songs. I just I think
Speaker 1: it's versatile. Yeah, I wouldn't necessarily. It definitely is a
Speaker 1: country album, but all of the songs darn't feel country, you.
Speaker 2: Know, like it's not slamming your face country, right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: some of them are, yes, but.
Speaker 1: Most of them I think are country inspired. But then
Speaker 1: they also have a little tinge of soul.
Speaker 2: Right, So in other words, let's let's do away with
Speaker 2: the genres. Let's just put out well it is what
Speaker 2: she's saying, like, just be a lover of the craft
Speaker 2: the art.
Speaker 1: But I mean, you know what, I think it, I
Speaker 1: think it. I think it makes sense to kind of
Speaker 1: not be all over the place.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: So if she put out an album that like had
Speaker 1: you know something a pop song, a hip hop song,
Speaker 1: rap song, R and B song, country song, like.
Speaker 2: I would love that. And it says that that's why
Speaker 2: you make a playlist, Okay, true, No, I just think
Speaker 2: and maybe for the artists, for them to be able
Speaker 2: to focus on what they're doing at that moment, like
Speaker 2: you can focus on that one style of music.
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know, but I can say when you
Speaker 1: reflect on Beyonce as a musician, she is extremely versatile and.
Speaker 2: She said, don't put me in a goddamn box. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so I'm gonna do what I want to do. It's
Speaker 2: country today, it is country today, and if tomorrow is gospel,
Speaker 2: yes there it is. Right.
Speaker 1: So so speaking of tomorrow, what do we think Act
Speaker 1: three is going to be.
Speaker 2: Okay, wait no, but before we even talk about Act three,
Speaker 2: can we talk about what I'm wearing this summer. This summer,
Speaker 2: I'm wearing cowboy boots, booty shorts, and my hat and
Speaker 2: what do you call it? Tank tops? Okay, so you're
Speaker 2: going you're going Western for the entire booty shorts, booty
Speaker 2: shorts with my bot cheeks hanging out.
Speaker 1: Okay, you already do that.
Speaker 2: But my little cowboy boots, I have several pads, okay,
Speaker 2: and my little tank top and a hat. I gotta
Speaker 2: I gotta get several hats.
Speaker 1: But like you're in, I think for you, like this
Speaker 1: is exciting for you because you you know, were born
Speaker 1: in New Orleans.
Speaker 2: Right you family's from Houston, Texas.
Speaker 1: Family's in Texas. So you like that's like, yes, kind
Speaker 1: of in you.
Speaker 2: Well, Beyonce is always like doing the whole you know,
Speaker 2: tribute to Giselle. She doesn't know it, but she does
Speaker 2: always pay tribute to me because she's a creole girl
Speaker 2: and her middle name is her middle name Isselle. She's
Speaker 2: really like singing for me, right, she's representing you because
Speaker 2: I can't, yes, nor can I do all those dances.
Speaker 2: So thank you Beyonce for doing.
Speaker 1: It for me. Yes, yeah, no, I mean I think
Speaker 1: she really did her thing on this album. It just
Speaker 1: is very I'm a realist, you are, yes, and it's not,
Speaker 1: but it's not one that like you know, Wan and
Speaker 1: I were taking our walk and I put it on
Speaker 1: and he was like, can you turn us off? So
Speaker 1: like you know, he wasn't really feeling the country vibe.
Speaker 1: But that's fine. But like for me, it's just more like, Okay,
Speaker 1: you're driving in a car, you listen to something that's
Speaker 1: just kind of like chill but has a nice vibe
Speaker 1: to it. Yeah, and it's extremely versatile, and like I said,
Speaker 1: her career itself is versatile. So Act three, like, what
Speaker 1: is she doing in Act three?
Speaker 2: The prediction is she's going back to I don't believe that. Okay,
Speaker 2: So one is Cowboy Carter? You think Act three is
Speaker 2: Destiny's Child? I think it's gonna be. So maybe it
Speaker 2: could be a Destiny's Child album. Here for that. I'm
Speaker 2: here for destin yoall it's Michelle ready for different than
Speaker 2: it's Kelly ready for that. Like, because you know, Beyonce
Speaker 2: do it right, right, She don't. She don't play no games.
Speaker 2: She don't make no mistake. I think I think there.
Speaker 1: I recall when Beyonce did Coachella and.
Speaker 2: They came out and it was they were fantastic. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it was like they that was one song, they did
Speaker 2: one song. They could do it. I think they're ready.
Speaker 2: We think they're ready. Listen, they got time, they got
Speaker 2: time to get ready. Do they do it? Beyonce moves.
Speaker 2: I don't know Cowboy Carter. I'm sure she'll go on
Speaker 2: tour with the Cowboy Carter and let me take y'all
Speaker 2: something a year. Get your make sure you whenever if
Speaker 2: she does do it and she puts out tickets, yeah,
Speaker 2: make sure you wherever you decide to buy your ticket.
Speaker 2: You put in like a level of like you got
Speaker 2: to see with everybody's hat, because everybody will have on
Speaker 2: the cowboy hat, right, so you got to be able
Speaker 2: to see.
Speaker 1: Don't be on the floor.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you probably don't be on the floor now. She
Speaker 2: probably want to be up a little bit because you
Speaker 2: got to see around the hats. Yes, I will have
Speaker 2: on problem. My hat gonna be huge. Oh but I
Speaker 2: do have tea.
Speaker 1: Somebody that we know knows a glam person for someone
Speaker 1: in Beyonce's crew, and they said they're preparing for a tour. Yes,
Speaker 1: I wanted. I thought of Las Vegas residency.
Speaker 2: Las Vegas can't hold Beyonce. Las Vegas is way bigger
Speaker 2: than I can't.
Speaker 1: I can't imagine packing uh stadium for although the apparently
Speaker 1: these numbers are the numbers that this album did are
Speaker 1: like far more than a lot of other numbers.
Speaker 2: She breaking records breaking. Okay, that's that's fine, I'll break it.
Speaker 1: I'll just watch the movie. I don't I'm not going to.
Speaker 2: I'm going I'm be all up in it.

Speaker 2: Nicky came to DC.
Speaker 1: She was a Capital one arena.
Speaker 2: She was and she was like boom babe, super bass.
Speaker 2: She did all the things. Yes, and she's a really
Speaker 2: sweet person. She's so sweet. So I it's backtruck, like, okay,

Speaker 1: No, he's on tour on his private plane that and
Speaker 1: has been grinding the island.
Speaker 2: I think that's been grounded. It gets worse and worse
Speaker 2: every day. Oh yeah, Like this is really sad.
Speaker 1: Yes, it is really sad, and it's actually.
Speaker 2: It's disturbing, it's scary.
Speaker 1: It's actually I feel bad for anyone that was connected
Speaker 1: to him in that type of way, like where they
Speaker 1: were taking advantage of or felt the pressure to give
Speaker 1: in to everything that was around them. Of course, we don't.
Speaker 2: Know what's true exactly. We were not in the room.
Speaker 2: We don't know if it's true, not true, whatever.
Speaker 1: But you can go down a rabbit hole on you know,
Speaker 1: YouTube and learn a lot about a lot of people's
Speaker 1: different stories, and it's it's really scary, really sad that
Speaker 1: he seems to have used his power that a lot
Speaker 1: of these men in the industry, do you know, down
Speaker 1: from the Harvey Weinstein's and the Jeff Epps and all
Speaker 1: of that to take advantage to people and get what
Speaker 1: they want.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but to have two houses rated in one day,
Speaker 2: I thought it was three. No, well Miami LA.
Speaker 1: Was a New York one rated too or no? Maybe
Speaker 1: who knows that. That's why I'm like, you hear stuff,
Speaker 1: I don't know how true it is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, that's a lot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's like, oh, that Cassie lawsuit just opened
Speaker 1: a can of worms.
Speaker 2: And so apparently she's working with the Feds and like
Speaker 2: giving them information. That's a lot. I really feel horrible
Speaker 2: for his daughters. Yeah, and you know, praying for the daughters.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hope the daughters stay off of social media.
Speaker 1: But it's but I'm like, well, what were the feds
Speaker 1: looking for?
Speaker 2: And I guess we don't understand Like the people have said,
Speaker 2: like hero, he has recorded a lot of things that
Speaker 2: happened in with people, and so I guess they're looking
Speaker 2: for the digital evidence to kind of support what he's done.
Speaker 2: But yeah, he's got a little stress right now. He's
Speaker 2: a little stress. Okay, can we get back to Nikki
Speaker 2: really quickly? Because I know that we forgot something. Guess
Speaker 2: who we saw at the Nikki show? Oh? I know? Okay,
Speaker 2: So we see this guy he's like walking around like
Speaker 2: he's backstage and he's like on the risers with us,
Speaker 2: and he like looked familiar.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he looked familiar. He was like short and buff,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, yes, who is that guy?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: And I don't know why Ashley knew knew he.
Speaker 2: Was because Ashley is a dancer, or she thinks she's
Speaker 2: a dancer. Ashley, No, Ashley was calling out when we
Speaker 2: were backstage. Were you there? I think you had gone
Speaker 2: to the bathroom. One of Nikki's dancers came out and
Speaker 2: she was like, hi, Carmelina or how saw she called
Speaker 2: out her name? Ashley? How you noticed girl? She's like,
Speaker 2: I follow her on TikTok dancers on TikTok.
Speaker 1: Yeah, got it.
Speaker 2: So she said that's Casper. What's Casper Smart? I thought
Speaker 2: his name was Kasper short. No, Casper Smart. Okay. So
Speaker 2: if y'all don't remember who that is, that is Jennifer
Speaker 2: Lopez's husband number.
Speaker 1: No, I don't. They weren't married, they but they dated
Speaker 1: she they were engaged.
Speaker 2: I don't even think they were engaged. They never got married.
Speaker 2: I don't think so.
Speaker 1: The other Chris Judge, Chris Judge, Yes, so she just dated.
Speaker 1: She married a waiter for Awani Noah, then she married
Speaker 1: the dancer Chris Judge.
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course. It's like, where does Casper fit into this? Right? Where?
Speaker 1: Which one was he? In between? He was a one
Speaker 1: of her dancers, I think. And they dated for a
Speaker 1: while and apparently.
Speaker 2: Apparently what.
Speaker 1: They broke up because he cheated on her with a transgender.
Speaker 2: Okay, I can't. We're moving on, That's what I read,
Speaker 2: moving on, moving on on. Okay, So I did want
Speaker 2: to talk about right now, like women's basketball is taking over? Oh? Yes,
Speaker 2: And I did not see the game that everybody watched.
Speaker 1: Were at the NI show, Oh it was that night, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was that night. It was on at the bar
Speaker 1: when we were waiting, when we were at the restaurant.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was not paying attention. Okay, So, but twelve
Speaker 2: point five.
Speaker 1: Million people yes watched minussel Minusselle Yes watched it, which
Speaker 1: is more than the guys, right, Yes, yeah, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: that that that is an absurd number, especially for women's basketball.
Speaker 2: Really, yes, oh yeah, I freaking love this. Yes, it's awesome,
Speaker 2: and it's.
Speaker 1: It's great because it's not you know, I know where
Speaker 1: there's a lot of focus on Caitlin Clark and Angela
Speaker 1: and angel Reese, and those two will be gone next year,
Speaker 1: but there's so many other young ladies that are amazing
Speaker 1: that can carry the torch and keep it going. I
Speaker 1: think it's so awesome, and I think, you know, I know,
Speaker 1: you're not like into like sports or basketball as much
Speaker 1: as I am, right, so I'm very in tune with
Speaker 1: the basketball world. And I think there's the one thing
Speaker 1: that maybe sets the women the girls game from the
Speaker 1: are they do. They call them women's basketball and yes, yes,
Speaker 1: I know, because high school is like boys and girls.
Speaker 1: So okay, women's and men's basketball game. Sorry, okay, So
Speaker 1: the one thing I think that sets women's and men's
Speaker 1: basketball basketball apart is that.
Speaker 2: The women stay for four years. The men for the
Speaker 2: most part, you know, because angels leaving, Angels leaving a senior.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, she's played for four years. She had, so
Speaker 2: these girls had the option to stay an extra year
Speaker 2: because of that COVID year. Everyone got an extra year
Speaker 2: because of COVID, So she had the option to stay
Speaker 2: one more year and play, but she's choosing to go
Speaker 2: to the w NBA. So in women's basketball, most of
Speaker 2: the girls are staying for four years to play. They're
Speaker 2: not jumping around from school to school to school. And
Speaker 2: men's basketball, you have these guys that go to college
Speaker 2: for one year and they're gone, or they're there for
Speaker 2: one year and they go to the next school. In
Speaker 2: the next school, you got guys that have gone to
Speaker 2: three different colleges. Oh wow.
Speaker 1: So you don't have that as much in women's basketball.
Speaker 1: So now we're able to really connect with these players
Speaker 1: and watch them grow and watch their teams battle it
Speaker 1: battle it out year after year.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 1: And the women are super talented. I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: if you've ever watched Caitlyn Clark play, but I heard
Speaker 1: she's like she's like Steph Curry for real.
Speaker 2: That's what I heard.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And she.
Speaker 2: Doesn't. But doesn't she talk as much trash as Angel.
Speaker 1: She she's a competitor.
Speaker 2: I mean, I.
Speaker 1: Won't say she talks trash. I think she might get
Speaker 1: like hyped what I'm saying. But in the trash talk
Speaker 1: the Angels, trash talk doesn't bother me.
Speaker 2: I love me some trash talk, but like Angel gets
Speaker 2: demonized for it, Like they come after her for it,
Speaker 2: and everybody was like, you know, she was all upset
Speaker 2: at her her press conference, and everybody's like, how can
Speaker 2: you be upset? You always talking trash? You're talking trash
Speaker 2: on the core. Yeah, that's a different thing than you
Speaker 2: walking down street talking trash to people. Right.
Speaker 1: She seems like a very nice you know what I
Speaker 1: think happened with her? Honestly, I think she was built
Speaker 1: up really high.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then they tore her down.
Speaker 1: And I think, especially for a young lady like that,
Speaker 1: it's a lot all at once. Yeah, Like she got
Speaker 1: she was really built up. She made a name for
Speaker 1: herself all of a sudden, people know who she is.
Speaker 1: She's getting you know, nil deals, and she has you know,
Speaker 1: two over two million followers, and people are really hyping
Speaker 1: her up, hyping her uphyping her up. And so when
Speaker 1: you have when you get put this high on the
Speaker 1: pedalstl and then you have people turn around and want
Speaker 1: to knock you down, it just it hurts that much more.
Speaker 1: It's that much louder, and it's that much more, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know, just it just affects her that much more,
Speaker 1: and she's a competitor and so yeah, she's she's going
Speaker 1: to be a competitor on the court. But because she's
Speaker 1: passionate and because she's a competitor, all of the negative
Speaker 1: noise and the people trying to tear her down, that's
Speaker 1: going to affect her.
Speaker 2: Yeah, leave her alone. Yeah, and its leave her alone. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's just it's I'll take it. It's really sad.
Speaker 1: It's so funny though, when I hear her talk. When
Speaker 1: I hear her talk, I'm like, she's so Baltimore, like
Speaker 1: she like I can relate to her so much, like
Speaker 1: just you know our you know, our family members and
Speaker 1: our mindset and just like how we just approach life.
Speaker 1: And I'm like I can relate to her so much.
Speaker 2: Right, So if you want to trash Angel, just move
Speaker 2: it over to Robin. Robin will take her trash for you. Like,
Speaker 2: if you want to just trash her, just give Robin
Speaker 2: the hate, right, Yeah, yeah, it Angel's hate, right, But.
Speaker 1: It's like leave it on the court.
Speaker 2: Let the other girls.
Speaker 1: You know, if Angel's going to trash talk, then let
Speaker 1: the other girls trash talk. But like she's not on
Speaker 1: social media, trask he's not on social media tearing people down.
Speaker 1: She's not, you know, just being a bad person. So,
Speaker 1: like we have to separate the competitor and the athlete
Speaker 1: on the court from the actual human being that they are.
Speaker 2: I think what she and was it Caitlin have done
Speaker 2: is with the numbers and the viewership, they're going to
Speaker 2: start like, not because of them, but they are going
Speaker 2: to start like an all women's sports network that's in
Speaker 2: the works. It's gonna come in soon. I heard that.
Speaker 2: I'm not done. I'm not done. And there is a
Speaker 2: I saw somewhere. I can't remember it. Maybe Carl can
Speaker 2: look it up, all Women's Sports Sports Bar. I saw
Speaker 2: that and they were like, you know what it was
Speaker 2: called sports sports bra. Yeah, sports brawl. How cute is that?
Speaker 1: Which is really cute? That's really cute.
Speaker 2: So I'm about to open one.
Speaker 1: Okay, just kidding, Okay, I mean I like the thought,
Speaker 1: I like the concept. I I don't know, this scares
Speaker 1: me a little bit.
Speaker 2: It doesn't scare me. We can do it, Robin. Okay.
Speaker 2: So I saw this post and it's like the highest
Speaker 2: paid women's basketball head coaches, right, So Kim Kim Kim
Speaker 2: Monkey three point down. Of course, three point one's bad.
Speaker 2: She's a bad all day long. Yep, not Robin all
Speaker 2: her stuff. There's Gino a man.
Speaker 1: Yes, he's the Yukon coach three.
Speaker 2: Point one million. Yes, Vic Schaeffer he is somebody two
Speaker 2: point three million. It has a summer in Texas, it
Speaker 2: has like Texas, Yeah, Texas. And then there's Brenda.
Speaker 1: Freeze, Brenda free at Maryland.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think Gino and Vic need to go.
Speaker 1: No, why Gino Arima?
Speaker 2: Actually, see, you.
Speaker 1: Don't know nothing about no?
Speaker 2: Because they're men.
Speaker 1: Gino Arima has done so much for women's sports, for
Speaker 1: women's basketball.
Speaker 2: He has a penis. So I think anybody coaching women's
Speaker 2: should be women. No shade to Geno and Victim. Sure
Speaker 2: they're great people. You need to go.
Speaker 1: I mean I think definitely women should have more of
Speaker 1: an opportunity to coach women and then vice versa. Like
Speaker 1: you know, we're starting to see more women coaching like
Speaker 1: an assistant coaching per positions in men's sports.
Speaker 2: Right, But No, do you know is a legend what?
Speaker 2: I don't know anything about him? I don't one, but
Speaker 2: I know that he is a penis. That's all I
Speaker 2: need to know. He needs to go.
Speaker 1: But he has helped these women win many champions but
Speaker 1: we can't have it.
Speaker 2: Women help women win many championships. We don't have to
Speaker 2: go because the women have been put to the side
Speaker 2: for how long it took seventy five, one hundred years
Speaker 2: for us to get the numbers that the men have
Speaker 2: already had as far as viewership is concerned. So yeah,
Speaker 2: the men gotta go, let the women take over. I disagree,
Speaker 2: gotta go.
Speaker 1: I disagree.
Speaker 2: Gino, y'a outa here. You know you're getting fired.
Speaker 1: I don't think about Texas.
Speaker 2: I do know you don't get I know that you
Speaker 2: know about he is not trust me. Do you know
Speaker 2: you're gone?
Speaker 1: I don't know how many championships they have won, but.
Speaker 2: The benefit, But we need think about.
Speaker 1: Those women's careers that he's influenced.
Speaker 2: But another down Stanley could have done that daily.
Speaker 1: You don't even know her name.
Speaker 2: Look Staley exactly. No you're not. I'm reading here, going nowhere.
Speaker 2: He's going nowhere, all right? So the sports Brawl Bar
Speaker 2: made one million in the first eight months. That's awesome.
Speaker 2: I'm opening up on I got to get I got
Speaker 2: to get into this.
Speaker 1: So I guess so my thing is. Okay, once women's
Speaker 1: college basketball is over, Okay, you have the w NBA
Speaker 1: season that begins. I guess there are women's soccer leagues.
Speaker 2: Maybe that.
Speaker 1: Like I'm just trying to think what sports will sustain
Speaker 1: the women's Sports Network, the women's We're gonna.
Speaker 2: Get in there. We're gonna do like mud wrestling or something. Yes,
Speaker 2: We're gonna do pick a ball. We're gonna add to
Speaker 2: all of the sports brawl situations. Okay, Okay, Now, Shakari
Speaker 2: Richardson just signed a deal. Do you know how much
Speaker 2: your deal is worth? Twenty twenty million dollars with Nike.
Speaker 2: Good for her. So it pays to smoke weed, right,
Speaker 2: it pays to smoke some weed. Matter of fact, get Rob,
Speaker 2: you got some weed on you? Now, let's just light
Speaker 2: it up.
Speaker 1: I smell something in this studio.
Speaker 2: Oh we right now? This studio where and baby just
