Savannah Stories And Summer Reset

A conference trip turns into a whole reality check. We’re fresh back from Savannah talking school climate work, the kind of sessions that stick with you, and why hope theory and nervous system regulation aren’t just “education words” but real life skills that affect how we lead, parent, and love. We also get into the underrated part of any work trip: being with people who can laugh, connect, and talk about more than the job.

Savannah gives us a little bit of everything: a ghost tour that gets way too real for a moment, restaurants that disappoint hard, and one soul food spot that absolutely redeems the whole week. We share the story behind Geneva’s Famous Chicken and Cornbread, what we ordered, and why learning the history made the meal hit even deeper.

Then we pivot into the heavy topic: property tax auctions and the dark side of “bargain” real estate. A tragic story out of Sacramento opens up a bigger conversation about gentrification, rising property taxes, and how people can lose paid off homes over a bill they can’t keep up with. After that, we play a couples quiz that exposes what we don’t know, and we weigh in on a college fund betrayal that screams “set boundaries and get it in writing.”

If you like relationship conversations, real world therapy talk, and funny everyday storytelling, press play. Subscribe, share this with a friend who loves a good debate, and leave a review with your take: what part of this hit you the hardest?

Savannah Conference Highlights And Team Time

SPEAKER_06 2:00

to the conference in Savannah, the Southeastern School Climate Conference. Um, so we got there, we traveled on Sunday. Um, one of my teammates, it was her birthday on Monday, Miss Jennifer Hellman. And so we wanted to make sure it's special because normally we decorate our each other's cubes. We go out to lunch, we get a sweet a sweet birthday treat for them, and so we weren't gonna be in the office. So we left a little bit early so that I could get her something special to put in her room. Good truck. So we got balloons and things to put in her room. So when she got into her room, she got to see all of her little stuff. So we did that. And um, before we went, shout out to Alexis. She already did reservations for all the places we were gonna eat. Only one place. Well, we don't even know if it wasn't gonna be good because we just They didn't have the items for us to do that. When the waitress came to us, she was like, Oh, before you guys get started, we're out of this, we're out of that. And then we asked, and we wanted something. She goes, Hold on, let me see if we have that. Oh, yes, we do have that. It was just though. We're out of that, and we're out of this, and we're on the charcuterie. We don't have crackers, but we can give you this Saturday.

SPEAKER_12 3:13

We do have chairs and tables.

SPEAKER_06 3:14

It was a mess. Apparently, yeah. So that day for dinner, we went somewhere else, and Lord have mercy. There was a mess, too. It was it was disgusting, it was a messy earth. I'm talking I'm talking about disgusting. Yeah, anyways, um, the conference was great. Um, got some really good sessions that I got to attend. Specifically for me, the one I loved most, and I wish I could think of the man's name, and I can't. Um, but he did a session on hope, um, the theory of hope, and it was very intriguing. Um, and then he also talked about regulation and that um and the brain, more so about the brain and regulation. And so I really enjoyed him. He was just a great speaker overall, just very calm. But you for me, I was immediately engaged, though. So I love that. And then we presented, and I felt like we did an amazing job as a presenting. Um, we had a great time together as a team. Um, Key got a chance to kind of meet my ladies a little bit more. He hears me talk about them all the time, but he got to meet them. What do you think of the ladies?

SPEAKER_12 4:25

I told you what I thought of.

SPEAKER_06 4:26

I'm asking, I know.

SPEAKER_12 4:27

I want you to tell the people I said I had a good time. Everybody was cool.

SPEAKER_06 4:33

Everybody's really cool. Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 4:34

Had a great time. Uh great um group of ladies, you know. Um, like not one moment was um weird. Yeah, it everything was entertained, everybody had everybody has something to bring to the conversations. That's what I like, because sometimes you you're with a group of people and everybody don't have their own pieces to the conversation. And it was stuff that they didn't, you didn't have to talk about work.

SPEAKER_13 4:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 5:00

Like it was stuff outside of work, and that's that's huge, you know, when you got um other things to talk about. That talk about other things besides work.

SPEAKER_06 5:09

Yeah, so that was real cool. And I feel like we all are so different too. So I think that I don't know, it's like so many we're so different, but then coming together is like the perfect little combo together, anyways. So, anyways, we presented was great. My first day, then we came back, and then ooh, before we left Savannah, we this one really wanted soul food. So we asked the people that brought around um valet who brought our car around, what's a good soul food place? And they told us Geneva's chicken and corn, fried chicken and cornbread, or famous fried chicken and cornbread.

SPEAKER_12 5:46

Oh, no, look it up on your phone. I don't know.

SPEAKER_06 5:48

So you can say it's in Savannah.

SPEAKER_12 5:50

But anyways, it is oh it is. It's like going towards, I think it like it's if as if you were going towards Tybee Island, but it was only like maybe 10 minutes from downtown Savannah. Um, and that's just basically because of the lights and stuff like that. But um small little spot, it's in like a little strip mall um near Home Depot, but it was so good.

SPEAKER_06 6:16

The best chicken ever.

SPEAKER_12 6:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 6:18

The best chicken ever. Um I was right, it's Geneva's famous chicken and cornbread. And so we ate people were so kind that worked there. Yeah. Um, everybody was kind. Yeah, they were. And so as we were looking, because it looks like it could be a chain, I think just because of the the place that they chose to do the reference, but all also the way they have the menu set up and the decorations, it's just so put together.

SPEAKER_12 6:46

Yeah, so fully historic.

SPEAKER_06 6:48

So put together. And so I was like, is this a chain? Like thinking, and so I was looking it up and I found the Lady Geneva. And so I was showing showing Key that this is the lady. And so the guy that was our waiter, he was like, I saw you looking up. He said, Let me take you to our history wall. And so he took me over to the history wall and told us about it. And she was the first black woman to own a restaurant in downtown Savannah. Um, and she started off with it being a um 50 person, a 50-person buffet style. Then moved to 200. Then she bought an old Shonese, which became 800.

SPEAKER_01 7:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 7:26

Somewhere between, I don't know how many. We might be missing one. We might be missing one. But I feel like she got it to five or six hundred.

SPEAKER_12 7:33

It was like a big five something.

SPEAKER_06 7:35

And then he said she um um got sick, got sick and had to close. And then people in the city were like, Are you gonna open and what she's gonna do? And so she decided to open up that location.

SPEAKER_12 7:48

She said, No more buffet style, though.

SPEAKER_06 7:50

No more buffet style. So you have to go in and order. But, anyways, y'all, you'll be fine.

SPEAKER_01 7:55

SPEAKER_06 7:56

It was so good. Everything we had fried chicken. The fried chicken, delicious.

SPEAKER_12 8:23

I would have ordered if I was going back the next day, I was gonna get the turkey leg. Oh, I mean the fried. The Cajun fried turkey wings, I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_06 8:32

Yeah, they had the Cajun fried, or you can get them smothered, or it was just and then I was gonna get the roasted chicken the next time.

SPEAKER_12 8:39

The Soul Food Find That Saved

SPEAKER_12 10:16

But then after that, it was it didn't rain. It was uh muggy, you know, down in Savannah, but it was it was cool. Disappointed I couldn't find Geneva's earlier because I really wanted some soul food.

SPEAKER_06 10:26

And then I can't believe you didn't ask somebody at the place.

SPEAKER_12 10:29

Because I was, you know, just you are problem solving. Oh no, I wasn't. I was like, you're right there, should ask people. But at the same time, it wasn't it wasn't that it was a big deal, but not that big of a deal because I was like, I know Savannah has so many other food places. Yeah. And so I was like, let me try the different spots. And I did find a little Mexican place, the little tequila thing. It was very good.

SPEAKER_06 10:48

Oh, the first place we ate was good too. What was that called? Dang, I'll look it up.

SPEAKER_12 10:52

I don't even know.

That was beautiful. That was in J.W.

SPEAKER_06 11:18

Marriott. Oh.

SPEAKER_12 11:20

SPEAKER_06 11:23

And the the bartender we got, because I will say a lot of the bartenders that we got, um, they were they didn't, they weren't in the bigger. Yeah, no personality. And yeah, even when we went to the speakeasy and the bubble bar. Because when we went to the bubble bar, it wasn't a lady, it was a man we had. And it was the same thing. And when we went to the um Speake Easy, the same thing.

SPEAKER_12 11:46

So when we went to Maybe it's the man, what kind of man was it? Because the man that we had at the African bar, he wasn't your he wasn't your typical check the box. No, he was amazing.

SPEAKER_06 11:59

Yeah, so yes, he was so good.

SPEAKER_12 12:01

I mean, we are in the deep south. Yeah, that's true. That's true. Um, but uh, yeah, the boa bar was was beautiful, beautiful pictures. Beautiful, um, all kinds of stuff, man. And then it had African um the art. African infused menu.

unknown 12:17

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_12 12:18

Yeah, and drinks and stuff like that was, you know, um curated African. I think I wanted some of it was I saw South, it was all over because it had South Africa, and one thing was like West African dish and something. It was an amazing place, though. Um, and um just chilling in the hotel, exercising, relaxing, um, just going on different walks when I went to look for food and search for food and stuff like that. Uh so I had a good time. I felt um relaxed. And then, like you said, we found Geneva's, and um that was it. And so came back home, went to the gym, had great little workouts at the gym, uh, moments to just chill because it was the sauna was not packed because I can't during lunchtime. And a lot of people don't um enjoy the sauna during lunchtime, but it like the five o'clock crowd, they get packed. And so I like getting in the sauna where I can sit in there 20 minutes, 25 minutes or so, chill out, relax. I don't hear everybody talking all the time, loud or playing their music out loud. Um, just you know, people don't have gym etiquettes. So but that was it for me.

Summer Mornings And Coming Home

Because I cut it now, it's it's it's still about almost three to four.

SPEAKER_04 14:02

SPEAKER_12 14:02

It's very thick, yeah, very thick. So I didn't want to cut it too low, and you can't you do that, you stretch your grass out.

SPEAKER_06 14:08

Oh, okay. Don't stress it out.

SPEAKER_12 14:09

Yeah, you can't stress it out. So it's it's long, it's back looking how it looked um a couple years ago. So but it just has to get thicker. I wanted to get thicker. It's longer and green. I just wanted to get thicker, more plush. And then what's this June?

SPEAKER_06 24:28

I think she wanted me to feel sorry for them. So she told me the story of the shoes, him with shoes and socks on, and they were in what they did after church and school.

SPEAKER_08 24:43

But she did just say that. She did just say that. It's crazy. Just told a lie. I didn't tell a lie.

SPEAKER_05 24:52

SPEAKER_05 25:41

Okay.

SPEAKER_12 25:42

Hey, because you if if people didn't have no teeth and the doctor said all I can give you is a partial, the joke was to say, alright. They'll take it.

SPEAKER_06 25:52

Anyway.

SPEAKER_12 25:53

Let's move on to the story.

Tax Auction Explosion And Real Risks

SPEAKER_06 25:56

Okay, y'all. Let me tell y'all.

SPEAKER_12 25:58

Therapy story of the week.

SPEAKER_06 25:59

Oh, we're doing therapy?

SPEAKER_12 26:00

Yeah, it's right there. The therapy story of the week.

SPEAKER_06 26:02

The sad story?

SPEAKER_12 26:03

Yeah, that's the therapy story.

SPEAKER_06 26:04

The man who blows himself up? Okay. Sorry.

SPEAKER_12 26:08

Jesus Christ.

SPEAKER_06 26:09

Right.

SPEAKER_12 26:09

She's so discombobulated right now, y'all.

SPEAKER_06 26:12

I understand. I understand. The only reason we talked about the therapy about you. Remember before we talked about the one that was like you getting therapy, but the people around you, nothing. Yeah, no, that's that's too complicated. All right. All right. So um here is the story. And it's really a sad story. A man blew himself up with explosives inside of his home after tax auction auction heartbreak. So a man in Sacramento blew himself up inside his home own home after losing it in a tax auction, um, turning one C's property into a deadly symbol of the ugly surprises that come with bargain real estate deals. The man died in an explosion at the house after the property had been sold through Sacramento County's tax-defaulted auction system. According to the Sacramento Bee, the case down looms over the county's latest tax sale, where 32 properties were listed for auction and promoted as potential deals for buyers willing to take on the risk. The auction, which began Monday, includes homes, vacant lots, and other parcels that were put up for sale after owners fell behind on property taxes. Under California's tax default process, counties can sell properties after years of unpaid taxes, allowing bidders to scoop up real estate that can appear far cheaper than anything on the traditional market. Um, but the Sacramento case shows the darker reality behind those tempting listings.

SPEAKER_12 27:49

It does.

SPEAKER_06 27:50

The property tie the exp tied to the explosion have been taken through the same system with the map showing the seized home at the center of the tragedy. Um, Sacramento County warns bidders that tax auction properties carry significant risks. Buyers are told they may not be able to inspect homes before bidding, they may not be able to enter them and may discover after the fact that someone is still living inside. There may be someone living in the property you purchased, they warn them, and the warning is no small detail. Winning bidders can spend thousands of dollars only to find themselves responsible for dealing with former owners, tenants, or other occupants who have not left. And they say the Sacramento County does not own the property, doesn't have access to the property in the private real estate transaction. And so they have to deal with the aftermath, whoever decides to buy it. Um, some don't fit the code issues, and the county says that not all listing properties actually make it to the auction, but the Grim Sacramento Exposure showed what can happen when a tax sale collides with a former owner who refuses to let go. So to me, this was written not on behalf of this poor little man who lost his home, but on behalf of to me saying, When you buy a property, be careful because it might be somebody in it, and then you didn't bought it, and now you left with nothing. Because in this case, the person whoever bought it was left with nothing.

SPEAKER_12 29:14

When I researched it uh deeper in that area, that's why they mentioned the 30-something places, whatever, it's happening a lot more frequently than it did. Yeah, it's a part of gentrification. And what's going on is a lot of people have been protesting because they've been, it's something that has been going on for a while. Like they've been, some stuff has been being sent to wrong addresses.

SPEAKER_06 29:40

Oh, so that people don't know they need to pay. Some people so it's done on purpose.

SPEAKER_12 29:44

Some people are elderly, and then they're like they're sending to the post office as opposed to the address, you know, the address. They're supposed to be delivering stuff, but there's loopholes that the county and the city, whatever, that has been jumping around. Yeah. And um, so people have been complaining about that, you know, but they say it is very common that what they're doing, and it's very uh obvious what they're doing to gentrify that area. And so, which which is sad, you know, um, because I remember I used to look at that stuff and say, man, these people bought this house for how much? And then when I started re really researching it, was when about about a year or two ago, when they were doing it here in Atlanta, and then I started hearing all these people, and it was a lot of you know, young black folks, yeah, and they was talking about all these properties. I got I got this land here for a thousand dollars, I got this because it people didn't pay their taxes. And then I started thinking, because they were bragging about these people not being able to pay their taxes, and they swiping this property off from under there.

SPEAKER_06 30:49

After these people have spent hundreds and thousands. The house is paid for or millions of dollars. House is paid for.

SPEAKER_12 30:54

It's just the property tax that they're doing. Yeah, and we're one of the few countries that do that. Like there are other countries that when you buy the land, that's your land. Like in Jamaica, the land is theirs. Yeah, that's why remember when we were in Jamaica, those houses were not finished. The guy was like, once you get the land, that's your house. I mean, your land. So even if the house blows away, you could just set up a tent right there and never pay nothing else in your life.

SPEAKER_06 31:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 31:17

And so, you know, we're one of the only countries that do that.

SPEAKER_06 31:20

So in actuality, you really never own it.

SPEAKER_12 31:24

No, you you don't, you you know, yeah, because think about it.

SPEAKER_06 31:26

I mean you own it, but uh to a certain legality.

SPEAKER_12 31:29

But if you're default on your property tax, yeah, and you you got a million-dollar home, they can take all of it for a thousand dollars.

SPEAKER_06 31:36

Yeah, and then on top of that- or whatever that bill is. On top of that, with everything that's going in our current economy, I know for us, our property tax went up. And so if, and it went up for some people like 300% up. And so if I have said to myself, okay, this is how much my property tax is, so I save up what it's been for the last five, six, whatever years, and all of a sudden it balloons up 300%. I'm not prepared to pay that amount of property tax. And the idea that one year can decide whether or not I lose my property is just disheartening.

SPEAKER_12 32:21

I'm gonna do you one even better. Think about the people like, you know, you and I, we as educators, we've seen all types of people that we know are gonna be people in their adult years who need somebody with a higher level of thinking to help them.

SPEAKER_13 32:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 32:39

They may not know certain things. Yeah. So just think about those people who lived at home with their parents for years, and the parents said, This house is taken care of, it's paid for.

SPEAKER_06 32:51

They don't know.

SPEAKER_12 32:52

They don't know that I'm I'm getting SSI, right? I'm getting social security. Um, I can take care of myself. Yeah, cook. I got a little small job. I never knew that there was property tax on my parents' property because they said it was paid for. I have the deed to the property that is paid for. And how do you not knowing about property taxes, right?

SPEAKER_06 33:11

To lose your, you know, something a family heirloom, yeah. Yeah, that's just crazy to me. Um, I think it's all set up. It's a setup where much of things in America are that out of greed. The greed of that. And the idea that somebody maybe spent a million, five hundred thousand, six hundred thousand, and then you can come and buy, get that for ten thousand, even if you got it for fifty thousand dollars. But the idea of how much I've invested in it, not only that, I paid that much for it, but up until that point, I also was doing the property tax on it. That just should not be a thing.

SPEAKER_12 33:54

Especially when they're living in it.

SPEAKER_06 33:55

And personally for me, I was like, if there is ever a time that it makes you even want to think about that, like going in and thinking about looking by that time, I guess it's too late. But I guess if you did go into somebody's auction in, because oftentimes people are there, go to the auction hoping to outbid certain people to get their home back.

SPEAKER_12 34:18

They lose their home.

SPEAKER_06 34:19

And people outbull people outbid them and just imagine being in that auction, and you are outbided and just seeing like I mean, real time losing your house in real life.

SPEAKER_10 34:32

Yeah, that's what our country's going through, right?

SPEAKER_06 34:34

Yeah, I think that's just so crazy.

SPEAKER_10 34:36

Doing evil things like that too.

SPEAKER_06 34:38

It just yeah, it just really makes you want to like yeah, yeah, like to be able to step in and help people in that sort of situation. I don't know how you could do it.

SPEAKER_12 34:49

I I I don't know, but yeah, that's just a different place in the world for you, in hell for you. If you because some people scout the property, that's how they know. It's oh, I gotta get that property because they research and say, Oh, this probably's getting ready to go up for the auction. You know, I can do X, Y, and Z to this. Because some places are listed previously, you know, I mean before the auction. So they go there and some people can tell somebody's living there.

SPEAKER_05 35:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 35:15

And I think if you bid, yeah, knowing that someone's living there.

SPEAKER_06 35:19

And if it's not a significant amount, if it's like $2,000, $5,000.

SPEAKER_12 35:25

And you're trying to be an investment. I well, it's not for everybody because you know, the greed, because I'll be like, yo, I ain't look for this person to keep his house for a thousand dollars.

SPEAKER_05 35:34

I would just give it something.

SPEAKER_12 35:35

You know what I mean? And this is this is property tax that has been maybe 10 years because in some of these there, the property tax is extremely low.

SPEAKER_05 35:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 35:43

Very, very low. It ain't like here where our property tax is a is a mortgage.

SPEAKER_06 35:47

And not even for me. I would look at how much their property tax was going to be. And if I could just say, here's that to cover it, I'm putting 2,000 more on it.

SPEAKER_12 35:56

Yeah, for a minute, you should be straight.

SPEAKER_06 35:58

You can keep it on the I think they have to give you the refund. I don't think they allow you to do that.

SPEAKER_12 36:00

I mean, I think it'd be like escrow.

SPEAKER_06 36:02

Yeah, but they don't let after the I don't know how they work that because I know on our mortgage when it's too much in it, there's after they have to give you a yeah, they give you the refund check.

SPEAKER_12 36:12

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 36:14

So, but I would if they get themselves back in the hole and I go back and y'all back in the hole, then listen, then Child, I bet you can work with a company that'll be like, Oh, I oh sure, we'll keep this, we'll keep his property tax. Well, it ain't a company, that's a state.

SPEAKER_12 36:24

Well, the state, yeah, they can't get a company. They agree that they'll keep money.

SPEAKER_06 36:27

They ain't gonna keep it.

SPEAKER_12 36:27

For the right people, they want it.

SPEAKER_06 36:28

There's a law they can't do it.

SPEAKER_12 36:30

Child, we got we got somebody that's breaking all the laws right now.

SPEAKER_06 36:34

I know it, but even still, there should, you know, I'm just saying.

SPEAKER_12 36:37

So we can't say it won't happen.

SPEAKER_06 36:38

Yeah, but anyways, it's really sad. So, anyways, the man did not want his house to be taken. And he didn't want nobody else to get it, so he didn't want nobody else to get it. He could not live without his home, and so he um did whatever he could and he blew the house up with himself inside, and so in that case, he didn't get the house, and nobody else didn't get the house either. Yeah, um, so I mean, just to think that that what he did. They get the land though, so that's what he felt was like the last resort. Yeah, yeah, that he did that. So that's the thing.

SPEAKER_12 37:08

And whoever got the land, I'm I I hope you are haunted by his presence.

SPEAKER_06 37:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 37:14

If you were the person that said, Oh, great, no, I don't have to demolish the house. I hope you are haunted by his presence every step you take.

SPEAKER_06 37:20

Yeah, I just don't, I don't know. That's just really so sad.

SPEAKER_12 37:24

It is.

SPEAKER_06 37:24

I don't know.

SPEAKER_12 37:25

Anyways, you gotta do people right. I don't care what. You gotta treat people right, man.

SPEAKER_06 37:29

That's a really sad story.

SPEAKER_12 37:30

You can't take advantage of people's downfalls like that.

SPEAKER_06 37:33

No, you can't. I don't know. I just think there's another way of of coming up and making your money.

SPEAKER_04 47:02

I don't really know what my biggest fear is. Bugs.

SPEAKER_12 47:04

Bugs. Alright, that's a good one. That's a good one. And they're not bugs.

SPEAKER_14 47:10

This is your partner's favorite song.

SPEAKER_12 47:13

What's your favorite song? Your favorite song is uh Pleasure Principle.

SPEAKER_04 47:20

All right. What's mine?

SPEAKER_06 47:24

SPEAKER_14 47:55

What does your partner think is your strongest quality?

SPEAKER_12 47:59

I think you think my strongest quality is my ability to maintain calmness in stressful or dangerous moments.

SPEAKER_06 48:14

Correct.

SPEAKER_12 48:15

All right.

SPEAKER_06 48:17

I think you think my strongest quality is being a planner. And when something happens, like I'm gonna have everything planned together and ready to go. I don't know, that's all I'm thinking.

SPEAKER_12 48:36

Good job. Your strongest quality is being able to on the phone get things done because they think they're talking to someone else.

SPEAKER_05 48:49

Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_12 48:53

No, I would say your strongest quality is uh which uh can also be a detriment sometimes is your ability to care for um for the the um the less fortunate.

SPEAKER_05 49:10

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_12 49:11

And sometimes it could it could be a detriment, but it's a great quality though because you instantly make other people think about it and then before they even start saying, Well, no, this is why I got burnt before because of something like that, but you make and you at least make people think about it. All right, last one.

SPEAKER_14 49:29

Okay, what is your partner's mother's maiden name?

SPEAKER_12 49:35

Your mom's maiden name is Edmundson.

SPEAKER_06 49:38

Oh, you knew that because I used to be mine.

SPEAKER_12 49:41

I didn't know that was yours until I started.

SPEAKER_06 49:44

Okay. Well, your mother's is paige.

SPEAKER_12 49:47

That's right. That's right. And I don't know which page, P-A-I-G-E or P-A-G-E. She says P-A-G-E, but then all these years I saw P-A-I-G-E on one of the birth certificates. So we probably related to a lot of different kinds of pages.

SPEAKER_03 50:02

Maybe.

SPEAKER_06 50:03

That's kind of like how um Melody, their her grandfather changed their last name because in his family he felt like it was a different side of their last name. And so he added an extra letter so that it would dis distinctly divide what he felt like was good from bad.

SPEAKER_12 50:24

Oh, okay. I hear you, I hear you. I hear you. Yeah. But then I I was thinking, because that's what ain't Belle named Paige, Paige. From her, you know, folks' mom's maiden name.

SPEAKER_05 50:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 50:36

So it'd be Paige Page. If she ever went back to the Pee-Pee. Oh, Paige twice. Oh, two pages.

SPEAKER_03 50:46

Two, yeah, two pages.

SPEAKER_12 50:48

All right, so let's get on to the Believe It Sister.

College Fund Betrayal And Family Boundaries

SPEAKER_06 50:52

All right. So the Believe It Sister is actually one of our am I the asshole. Because I don't cuss.

SPEAKER_12 51:03

Oh my God, y'all. I look, Father God, please allow us to both wake up tomorrow. Because if not, we already know the other one going.

SPEAKER_06 51:13

All right. This A-I-T-A is called. I know it didn't go all the way. It went to the top. Hold on. I hope my plane ticket and change because they're saying I'm supposed to be get on a flight in 30 minutes, Will's.

SPEAKER_12 51:27

You better double check right now.

SPEAKER_06 51:28

Oh, it don't matter. I can't get there. So ain't no thing to talk about. All right. This one is called The Sisterly Scholar. So it's a 17-year-old sister and a 21-year-old sister. Um, and the 21-year-old sister was a very rebellious little child. And their grandfather left them money for college. And so the only catch was that they actually had to go to college. And so the sister was a party animal, got pregnant at 18. Um, and so she still lived at home with her parents and her child. And so the 17-year-old started looking for colleges um and was prepared was prepared, but then found out, guess what? Just read it, child. The money her grandfather lost her grandfather. When you be reading your little raggedy stories and want to be animated and do different voices and stuff, don't nobody tell you to stop and just read it. Anywho. So then the sister was looking for her money and the money was gone. That the parents had spent it all on the sister. Um, and so she was writing this. She said she was literally sobbing while she was writing this about her parents spending all the money. And so then she decided at Christmas time, I want to talk about it. Where my money at? How come y'all spent all my money on her? She did not go to college. I understand she got pregnant with a child. But you should have left me some money.

SPEAKER_11 52:54

What you just said, well, the skimming and just said spending my money. Yep, that's what she should have said.

SPEAKER_06 53:03

She should have said that. And so, anyways, they told her she ruined Christmas by bringing it up.

SPEAKER_12 53:08

And um Y'all ruined it because I was gonna buy y'all some of that money.

SPEAKER_06 53:12

And she says um she was kind of feeling like an A-ho for bringing it up, but so then her parents offered to give her $10,000 in exchange just to calm her down. But the original amount that her grandfather left her for her to receive to go to college was $80,000. And so now they're telling her that she's just greedy. So she says, Is she the a-ho? Should I take what they're offering me right now? Because according to them, this is what they have got to give.

SPEAKER_12 53:47

No, no, you're not the a-ho. Your parents are the a-ho and your little sister. Older sister. Older sister. Was it because she had a baby or something?

SPEAKER_06 53:55

Yeah, she had a baby, whatever. But she's living in a home with them. What she need the money for?

SPEAKER_12 53:58

Right. Yeah. You don't need not that much.

SPEAKER_06 54:00

No.

SPEAKER_12 54:01

Not that much. So, yeah, you're not the A-ho. And um, I hate it for you because that money was now if if they left it for you, like, like really left it in some, and there's writing and all that stuff, time to go to court.

SPEAKER_06 54:15

Oh, get you a lawyer, baby. Stuart to your parents.

SPEAKER_12 54:19

Yeah, time to go to court and get what's yours. Be um, you know what I'm saying? Because that ain't no ten dollars. That ain't no hundred dollars.

SPEAKER_06 54:26

Oh, that's a lot of people. That could have set her up for her whole college career. $10,000 in today's times won't even pay for a full year.

SPEAKER_12 54:35

Yeah, depending on where you're going.

SPEAKER_06 54:36

Depending on where you're going, that's not even gonna pay for a full year. So now you have to limit. You did what you needed to do to be able to go on to college, and now you don't have the money to do so. And I would, and then to me, I'm like, who who all spent the money? Because I don't know. If your sister living at home and the baby at home with them, yeah, I'm like, well, yeah, what's up with this money? Well, I believe those parents spent a little bit of that money themselves too. Of course they did.

SPEAKER_12 55:04

That's why they say we'll give a 10. We'll give a little change.

SPEAKER_06 55:07

Yeah, so to me, trifling, or maybe the I don't know what the parents are doing. But to me, if anybody is thinking of leaving money to fund certain specific nieces, nephews, grandchildren, you need to be explicit in who that money belongs to. Because that way you could have said, this is for Suzy Bop, and Suzy Bop gets this once she graduates high school and goes to college. That's the stipulation. She gets this money if she graduates, and when she enrolls in college, it goes to her college. You have to be so specific because if you leave it up to some of these raggedy parents to have the say-so and to control and do what they're supposed to do, some of them are not gonna do right.

SPEAKER_12 55:58

No, yeah, you gotta. Unfortunately. I saw something, it was like, you know, talking about will and testaments that you gotta actually write it, and they say the thing that people are doing now is they're recording it on a video.

SPEAKER_06 56:09

Mm-hmm. Because there are people that are changing it.

SPEAKER_12 56:11

They'll sit down with the lawyer and they'll record it. But now, now with AI, they probably start AI in a video and all that stuff, but you got to get it authenticated too. And so uh have you, you know, you'll say, okay, here's one copy, here's another copy, here's another copy. They're in different places so that when you when they read that one, say, okay, now if it don't match this one, then you know it's AI. Then you know But um, yeah, that's that's horrible. I hate that for people when you know I hate hearing stories like that when people take advantage. I just hate it.

SPEAKER_06 56:41

Because it really makes to me personally, I know people say love your family, forgive your family, do all things. But let me tell you what, I be done dealing, and I'm gonna love you, of course. Listen, but I'm done dealing, I'm gonna love you from a distance because that is wrong.

SPEAKER_12 56:57

Yeah, people people only say that stuff when it's something that doesn't hurt them. You know, love your family, forgive your family. If your family, if a family member is abusing you physically or, you know, sexually, you don't really hear them say, forgive your family. That's your family, allow them to do those things. You know, no, that's wrong, is wrong. You know what?

SPEAKER_06 57:18

I feel like the people that say that are people who'd have probably done people in their family wrong.

SPEAKER_12 57:22

And want to be forgiving themselves.

SPEAKER_06 57:23

And want to be forgiving themselves.

SPEAKER_12 57:24

Or they they're the forgivers when they shouldn't be, and they want somebody to understand and don't know how to set boundaries. Well, you know, it's like somebody said, Well, I don't think they were that bad, because they're trying to make you say so. When the situation comes back, you'd be like, Oh, I see why Keefer said that, because he don't want me to think he was that bad. Yeah, but no, that's that's that's dirty.

SPEAKER_02 57:45

No.

SPEAKER_12 57:46

That deserves a gut punch. You punch your dad in the stomach.

SPEAKER_06 57:52

My thing for the believer sister, believe it sister, you are not the asshole. And go get top dog law and get your money, but sweet James. A sweet James and get your money, boo boo, because your family is dead wrong for spending that money. Even if they were under the assumption, hey, we got one daughter that got pregnant. The other one's gonna do the same. Listen, you gotta wait till it's all said and done. Because maybe they just thought we did a terrible job. This she's probably gonna fall the same thing.

SPEAKER_12 58:25

Let's so they don't need no college money, but then it's not right. I'm not saying logically, some people think. So they should have said, well, let's just save, let's just split half of it because she's gonna need money for her pregnancy too.

SPEAKER_06 58:38

Well, that's true. They could have done that. Yeah, she got the short end of it.

SPEAKER_12 58:41

They weren't thinking none of that. They was like the short end, she got the no end of it. She's sad, putting that money fast. That's what they did, and then give her none of it.

SPEAKER_06 58:53

None of it.

SPEAKER_12 58:54

None of it.

SPEAKER_06 58:55

Trifling parents.

SPEAKER_12 58:57

Just trifling.

SPEAKER_06 58:58

Trifling. And the sister is trifling too because she should have said, please no, please save half of it. That's the oldest sister, so save half of it for Susie Bob.

SPEAKER_12 59:06

The oldest sister got all the personality traits of the parents, pretty much the most of it, you know. Trifling. Like they said, because she's been living with them long enough.

SPEAKER_06 59:12

Yeah, yeah. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_12 59:14

She was she was in their trifling stages, probably.

SPEAKER_06 59:17

Susie Bob, you know how you get revenge? You go out there, you go to college, you go out and be successful, make a lot of money, make a lot of money, and you just show them that I didn't need y'all to reach this amount of stage.

SPEAKER_12 59:31

And donate some of some of your money that you got. Like if you're a millionaire to one of your family members, here's $80,000.

SPEAKER_06 59:39

And write it the correct way.

SPEAKER_12 59:41

You don't have to pay me back at all and give it to them like in front of your folks. So ladies and gentlemen, I I have an announcement. And then they'd say have an announcement. What's your announcement? Oh my god, what's y'all know I've been doing well on my job, right? And I wanted to make sure Blessed take care of people because you know, um, I wouldn't be the person I am today if it wasn't for all the things I've experienced. Yeah. And so I feel like I have to give back. You know, I'm I'm making so much money, and it's like, hey, so what I would love to do is, Joseph, my four-year-old nephew, I want to give you Don't no, don't do it to them.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:17

$200,000.

SPEAKER_12 1:00:19

Oh no, but this is what you're doing, Joseph. What are you doing? It's in contract that no one else will have your money. This money will go directly to you upon reaching this age, and b-ba-boom, ba-ba-boom. Which is what my parents probably should have done for me.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:38

And if you don't achieve it, Joseph, then the money will go back in the pot.

SPEAKER_12 1:00:43

To the next person.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:44

To the next person, but not to your mama.

SPEAKER_09 1:00:48

Everybody have a great day. Be blessed. Be blessed.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:54

Let me go out of here and get into my Mercedes, whatever.

SPEAKER_12 1:01:01

Yep.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:02

And go conquer the world.

SPEAKER_12 1:01:04

And turn the radio on. Oh, this is my song. Where all them scam it. Just sad.

SPEAKER_11 1:01:12

Spending my money fast.

SPEAKER_12 1:01:14

And then just tore her look, put her little glasses on, throw her scarf around. To-da-do.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:21

And go on by her life.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:24

That's right.

SPEAKER_12 1:01:24

Tyler Perry movie right there. Yeah, that's doo. Tyler Perry needs to call us.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 1:01:28

That's we need to call us. That's the next movie right there for you, Tyler Perry.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:33

Sisterly Scholar.

SPEAKER_12 1:01:34

That's what it's called. All right, Sisterly Scholar. All right. Yeah. All right.

Side Eye For Bad Food Experiences

SPEAKER_12 1:01:42

So let's move on to your side eye of the week.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:44

I am side eyeing that nasty ass restaurant we ate at. It was called the Magnolia Kitchen.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:55

I don't know what it was called.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:56

Anyways, we should have known because when you try to look it on up on Yelp, it wasn't there. And everything they had was kind of like they had deleted anything about the restaurant. There are not any restaurant. I don't know of any restaurants where you can't find something about even the Google. There weren't even any Google reviews about this restaurant. Magnolia Cafe and Kitchen. Not one review of it. Child disgusting. See? And then the child that was our waitress, we asked, could you split the check? Couldn't do it.

SPEAKER_10 1:02:37

Didn't know how to do it.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:38

Couldn't figure out how to do it. And she just brought the check out. We said, baby, just bring the check out. And then we just um Venmo the person who put the card on it.

SPEAKER_12 1:02:48

Yeah, it was horrible. My pizza. My pizza looked like a lunchable pizza that you like just say, here, baby, and put this sauce on it and sprinkle the cheese on it. That's exactly what it looks like. My pizza. The sauce was thick, the cheese was not melted, and it was just sitting there.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:02

And the crust was just like some crust they picked up off the floor. It was uh oh, let's make a pizza with it.

SPEAKER_12 1:03:07

Yeah, it was it was a pizza. A pizza, sure. That would have been.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:11

So if y'all go there, because we just went and it's on a night, it has a nice little, like it was some live music, and it's this little area that looks really nice. A real nice area, but the food is. And people were out there eating, so you thought, oh, it must be pretty decent. Because I mean the outdoor patio was.

SPEAKER_12 1:03:26

Now we should have listened to that man when we said how were the the feta bites or whatever.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:31

Oh, the Brie.

SPEAKER_12 1:03:32

The Brie bites.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:33

He said, mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_12 1:03:34

Uh-huh. I said, uh-oh.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:36

Uh-oh. Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 1:03:38

Uh-oh. Uh-oh. And we kept on and did it anyways. But hey, it was. It wasn't my game.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:46

No.

SPEAKER_12 1:03:46

I was, you know what I'm saying? It wasn't my game to play in.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:49

That was the one bad restaurant. The others we had were good. The top was common. The others, the lunch was pretty good. The seafood place, I enjoyed my food. The ladies said they just thought it was good.

SPEAKER_12 1:03:59

Yeah, it was it was meh.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:01

Yeah. Um, and the common, we started off big.

SPEAKER_12 1:04:04

Yeah, the common was great.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:06

That was a great start off. Oh man, the food was pretty good.

SPEAKER_12 1:04:08

Yeah, the food was very good.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:10

That that we started off great. And we ended great. So we started great and ended great. But um our lunches were very good. We ate some good places for lunch. And you had one good lunch place.

SPEAKER_12 1:04:21

Yeah, just the one time.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:22

Yeah, just the one time. So, um, anyways, I'm side eye. Magnolia cafe and kitchen in Savannah. Y'all don't go eat there, child. You'll see people sitting on the patio and think, oh, outdoor eating, nice weather, live music out here. Don't do it, baby, because you are gonna disgusting. Nasty, baby. Just nasty.

SPEAKER_12 1:04:44

Yeah. I'm side eye in Savannah, like you said, for like you see all the oh, Savannah food, or break, great food. Stuff is closed. Soul food restaurants open Thursday through Sunday. I'm like, what about what do black folks eat the rest of the week? And so that that upset me because I know we we like to eat, you know what I'm saying? But and then so after that one day when y'all went to the ghost tour, I said, okay, well, I'm gonna get some chicken.

SPEAKER_11 1:05:13

Oh no.

SPEAKER_12 1:05:13

Popeye's, oh, Popeye's closed at 11. Bet. Put it in the GPS, go get the car from the valet, drive down the street. Oh, Popeyes turn right. I look at Popeye's, Popeye closed. It's 9.03.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:28

Oh, the hell? They must have ran out of chicken.

SPEAKER_12 1:05:31

I was so mad, and I said, Oh, I remember KFC right down the street. So I go to KFC, make my little order. Can I get a four-piece white? Well, the chicken won't, uh, we only got uh legs. Okay, how long does it take to cook white? Because y'all close at 11. Oh, it just takes eight minutes. No problem. I pull around. So I pull around. I'm waiting for a minute. They bring me my um box of chicken, my bucket of chicken.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:56

They said, uh, you getting legs.

SPEAKER_12 1:05:58

Yep. And gave me all dark. Meet, I waited 10 minutes for them to play games for them to play games with me with no sides. And the reason why I didn't take time to look because it was in a suspecting area.

SPEAKER_05 1:06:11

So you're trying to get out of there.

SPEAKER_12 1:06:12

A lot of pickup trucks and women with uh little clothes on. Okay. I ain't want nobody thinking I either was selling drugs or ladies.

SPEAKER_13 1:06:19

Okay.

SPEAKER_12 1:06:19

And it was, you know, I ain't I went, I didn't travel with my piece on me. So all I could have done was spray some hand sanitizer in there.

SPEAKER_09 1:06:26

Oh no.

SPEAKER_12 1:06:27

And so I was like, let me hear him get back to the hotel. Got to the hotel, open up my bucket of chicken. I said, Yeah, ain't this a or I was so mad. I said, you know what? Because it was that whole day was horrible food.

SPEAKER_06 1:06:36

You know what I thought about?

SPEAKER_12 1:06:38

That's why I had that hamburger, the bad turkey burger.

SPEAKER_06 1:06:40

You remember when we went Papa and Papa took us to that Double Tree buffet? I said, we probably should have tried that for lunch because that was bad.

SPEAKER_12 1:06:46

That's what I was trying to do and then but I was like, was it there or was that New Orleans we went to the Double Tree? It was there. That's what I thought. And see, I was, and I was like, I said, well, maybe I'm wrong. But then I I was I was getting it confused because it all looks the same. Savannah and New Orleans looked the very exact same.

SPEAKER_06 1:06:59

No, it was there. So I was like, damn, it's a good thing.

SPEAKER_12 1:07:03

Because it was somebody he knew that worked. Yeah. And so I was like, I don't know.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 1:07:07

I don't know. So I was I'm upset now because I should have gone there because now you verified that that was a spot. So my side eye goes to Savannah's food spot. Uh, you know, if it wasn't for Geneva Saving the Day, because the one place I did want to go, but you had, you know, your reservation with your ladies, um, and I didn't want to dis you know, I I should have just went.

SPEAKER_05 1:07:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 1:07:31

Um, but it was called the uh, I don't even know what it's called, but it's uh an abandoned, not an abandoned, it's an old bus station.

SPEAKER_01 1:07:38

Or a train?

SPEAKER_12 1:07:39

SPEAKER_06 1:09:51

Um June 28th. I mean, June 27th.

SPEAKER_12 1:09:57

Because I personally feel like I'm not gonna have a summer this year.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:00

Yeah. Well, I mean, I still am gonna be seeing my clients, um, but summer for me is like having the opportunity to have slow mornings.

SPEAKER_13 1:10:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:10

So get not getting up until nine. And so I will still have that because I did not change my clients' times. I kept them the same times. So summer for me is being able to get up when I my body feels like it. That's summer for me consistently. Um, so summer for me, because when I go to Kansas, I know I'm gonna be, I'm gonna try to put people on my schedule. Um, but I know there are certain things where certain people gotta take medicine at this time and whatever that may be. So I think I won't get to wake up when I want to. So I think somebody gets medicine at eight. I think my daddy's medicine starts at eight. So I will have to get up by eight. Um, so um, with that being said, um my summer will to me officially start once I land back here in Atlanta Saturday morning, June 27th.
