This episode starts with Pranking Security and then somehow turns ends with Mama Schall calling back to yell at us.

Honestly, I don't think any of us were qualified to host this episode.

In this episode:

• I prank Security with completely fake answers to questions you guys wrote in and watch him slowly question everything he knows about my wedding

• We read reddit AITA stories and debate whether someone is wrong for refusing to give up their airplane seat after paying extra for it, a fiancé sending flirty Instagram messages to his future bride's friend, and a neighbor geting revenge on a loud roommate.

• Mama Schall misses her original recording because she was busy winning at Canasta

• Brotherly advice unexpectedly replaces motherly advice

This one is ridiculous, completely off the rails, filmed out of order, and exactly the kind of podcast episode that somehow only gets funnier as it goes.

SPEAKER_04

Shaw We Talk, oh, can't you see?

SPEAKER_03

This is where you wanna be.

SPEAKER_02

Hi everyone, welcome back to Shaw We Talk. This entire episode has been filmed out of order. We have already filmed 90% of the episode. We filmed the closing. We uh well we called Mama Shaw, but you'll see what happens. So everything's done. We filmed the episode. So then you're like, okay, well, why didn't you film the beginning? Because security got here and I had this idea to prank him. I came up with the idea last night. I asked you guys to write in questions where I was gonna make up the answers. So I needed to film it with him without explaining what I was doing to you guys, because otherwise you guys would have thought these answers were real. So the so just so you know, because I haven't explained it to you yet. The questions were real questions that the kids wrote in last night. They knew, they thought I was either pranking Dr. Piano Man, and then I eventually explained to you. So these are questions they wrote in knowing I was going to prank you.

SPEAKER_03

So funny. Yeah. So funny.

SPEAKER_02

So you guys are in for a treat, but just remember, once we get into the episode, I tell security you guys wrote in questions. I'm making up the answers. Do not get nervous with the answers I am saying. I repeat, these are made up answers.

SPEAKER_03

It's good.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, it's good. All right, but while I got your attention, make sure you like and subscribe and leave a comment here on YouTube. If you're listening on any of the podcast apps, give five stars and a nice review. I think we hit the 100 reviews on Apple, but I'm not positive. I think we did, though. And if you need a tote bag, head over to Etsy. And if you would like to come to my Bachelorette comedy show, guys, this show is gonna be so freaking epic. I'm so excited. I'm so excited. It is, people are like, what is it? It is a bachelorette comedy show. It's a comedy show. You're coming for 90 minutes of laughter. But the theme of the show is Bachelorette Party. Specifically because this is my Bachelorette party. There may be some other Bachelorette parties there. It's just Bachelorette party themed comedy show. Regina's a part of it, security's a part of it, Dr. Piano Man's a part of it, my parents are part of it, Belinda's a part of it. It's just, it's gonna be so fun. We're doing it in Boston at the Wilbur on August 23rd, and we're doing it in New York on July 18th. Both of them are matinee shows because my favorite thing is to party during the day and be home and in bed by five. That's the goal. So get your tickets. I'm just, I can't wait to party with you guys. Probably my favorite thing on the goals list after getting married. Maybe they're tied because both are equally as fun. Yeah. All right. I think we jump right into the episode. For today's segment, we're gonna break it up into two parts. One, I asked you guys to send questions, personal questions about things going on in my life, whether it's about the wedding or move, anything. And then we're gonna do some Reddit, Am I the Assholes? Do you know what that is? Like when people write in, like, was I wrong? And they give the example and we're gonna weigh in.

SPEAKER_03

Yes.

SPEAKER_02

Did you watch my Insta stories last night?

SPEAKER_03

No, I didn't I didn't want I didn't see anything.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, okay. Thanks for being supportive. I'm moving. I know, I know. So I don't know when this episode's airing, but as of right now, security is moving next week as we're recording this. So last night I put up a box while I was making my wedding shoes, asking people to send, you know, questions. Oh, great. All right, so um, are you planning on getting the wedding catering or will you be cooking the food yourself? So this is an interesting question. So we went for the food tasting, and uh, I would say most of it they're gonna be catering. But that morning I wanna cook probably the appetizers myself, just because I think it'd be like really good content, and I I don't know, I want it to be personal. So yeah, main course they're taken care of, and we are getting a donut tower, but for the appetizer, and I think I'm gonna make some sort of like fish stew then yeah, that I'm cooking. What will security's role be at the wedding? All right, so he has a lot of hats. You're gonna be officiating. You are oh wait, I don't even know if I told you this part.

SPEAKER_04

What?

SPEAKER_02

Well, yeah, so let me tell you the stuff, you know. You know, you're gonna be officiating, you're gonna bring your camera to take some pictures that you know, you're gonna help me with the nameplates. Okay, so then there's there's, you know how we're getting married by like the bushes area. So they said the only thing is, you know how the horses are over there? We're responsible if there's any manure, like the horses poop just to clear that area. So that's on us. I'm gonna be in a dress, so that's on you. Oh, I'm like right where the shovel?

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, like a scooper.

SPEAKER_02

I I whatever's like on the pro. Do you think we should bring?

SPEAKER_03

Like garbage bags?

SPEAKER_02

I don't know. They just said like if like if the horses poop where we're gonna be getting married, we have to clean it. Like, that's not.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, yeah, they're gonna, but they're behind the fence. They're not gonna come on to. Yeah, no, they come up. Wait, they're gonna poop like what if it happens during the ceremony? That's why we're having a big one. Wait, do we have to hire someone? Hire no, that's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_02

You uh but I'm gonna be officiating. No, I think they're not like I feel like they're not gonna come up to us while we're getting married. I'm saying if beforehand.

SPEAKER_03

Do you, Robin?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, those are all your jobs.

SPEAKER_03

Can we discuss this just two more seconds? Yeah. When did they say this?

SPEAKER_02

I think while we were there. That is someone said it. I don't remember who. I think it was Bernardo said it.

SPEAKER_03

I think we should hire someone.

SPEAKER_02

No, because here's the thing. Why spend money? What if there is no poop? They were just saying if there's poop, like we're responsible for that area.

SPEAKER_03

Again, I'm you I get I you know, Odie goes to the bathroom.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, what's the big deal? Okay. All right. I'll take 10 seconds. You want me to do it? Then I'll do it.

SPEAKER_03

No, no, I'll do it. I'll do it. I'll do it.

SPEAKER_02

I didn't think it was that big of a deal. Okay. Any celebrities coming to the wedding. Okay, so we invited a few celebrities. There's one that we invited on this. You know how we uh wait, I don't know if I told you this. About Katrina Kosovtier, the Prime Minister of Iceland. So she was on the list of celebrities that we invited. Assistant wrote that she's most likely coming, but that they have to figure out security and stuff. Like real security. It's another job you have.

SPEAKER_03

Excuse me.

SPEAKER_02

Excuse me, hold on. The other thing I'm nervous about is she got I'm laughing at what she said. What'd you say? I want her to come. Like when she comes, you don't have to put this in the episode, but like I really I you know I really liked her. It's just that she tweeted something that like kind of I think like is a little offensive. She said, like, she say she really she said she takes issue with short men, short stocky men, and that they're unattractive, especially if they're bald.

SPEAKER_03

Like so she's describing me. I'm kinda short, I'm stocky, and I'm bald.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Why would she say that? I don't know. She's just like, I find them very unattractive. I was like, are you planning on singing at the wedding? Yes. So uh my best friend and my cousin are gonna be singing me down the aisle, and then when Dr. Piano Man is dancing with his aunt, I'm gonna sing.

SPEAKER_03

What are you singing?

SPEAKER_02

It's a Spanish song. I don't know the name of it.

SPEAKER_03

What like com comedically?

SPEAKER_02

Like no, no. No, it's like an emotional song. I'm not gonna be like, oh, but like I'm just gonna sing like in my head and voice, but it's in Spanish, so I have to learn the words. Oh my gosh. I'm gonna I'm gonna hold the piece of paper. I'm not memorizing. Fear not, security. Okay. What's your most embarrassing hookup story? Hmm. Oh. Okay. I don't think I've shared this publicly, but in college one time, I uh was hooking up with this guy, and we're like outside in this bush area, and I'm like taking milkshakes and like throwing it on me, and he's like throwing French fries and burgers at me, you know, like a real like food fetish type thing. And then someone was filming it, like, you know, on the camera, and then just recently they posted it on Instagram, and so if I'm not saying the guy's name, but out there currently is me half dressed with a guy throwing French fries at me. Okay. Dan Bender.

SPEAKER_01

No.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

No.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. I I I'm Why'd you tell me this? It was not that big of a deal. Um you can't see anything. What are we gonna do? Can you send me the video? No, because like I'm drunk. Like, I don't want that out there. Mine is on his social media.

SPEAKER_03

Dan.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I know. I was like, I'm pissed, but he's coming to the wedding.

SPEAKER_03

Well, now I know whom I throw the poop at. First, the Prime Minister, then Dan. Then Bruno for taking me do this job. Who's Bruno? Isn't that the guy who's in charge of Rich? Yeah. None of these are real.

unknown

Oh my god!

SPEAKER_04

Oh my god!

SPEAKER_02

Nothing since we've started recording.

SPEAKER_04

Zero.

SPEAKER_02

Oh god. The Prime Minister's now coming, you don't have to shovel anything. I forgot what the other question is. I'm not cooking the the adres or appetizers. Yeah, I felt like that. Oh, you thought that was real?

SPEAKER_03

That's actually believable. That's believable. Cooking at my own wedding? Yeah, you could just throw it in the oven.

SPEAKER_02

We agree, we have we're on the villa. We can Oh my god. So what happened was last night I was making my shoes. Yeah. And I came with the idea to prank Dr. Piano Man. But then like after I did two, and I started cracking up, and then he caught on, and then he's like, I had enough. So then I was like, oh wait, I should save these for security. Oh my god. Yeah, they're all fake.

SPEAKER_03

Oh my goodness.

SPEAKER_02

That was good, right?

SPEAKER_03

That was I applaud. I applaud you. I applaud you. That was good. That was really, really good.

SPEAKER_02

Okay, good job, guys. All right, so now these I think are real. I like at least I didn't. Yeah, so these are Reddits. Am I the asshole? Am I a bitch? Am I wrong? Kind of things. Okay. Am I the asshole for refusing to switch airplane seats? Oh, I first didn't read any of these ahead of time. I already have so many feelings. I'm a 31-year-old woman and recently took a flight home after a work trip. I specifically paid extra for an aisle seat because I have anxiety and like being able to get up whenever I need to. After I sat down, a woman approached me and asked if I would switch with her teenage son so they could sit next to each other. I asked where his seat was. And it was a middle seat. Oh my gosh, I don't even need to finish this. Five rows back. I politely said no because I paid extra for my seat. She rolled her eyes and said, Wow, some people really don't care about families. The people around us started looking over and I felt incredibly awkward. During the flight, she kept making comments loud enough for me to hear, like, apparently money is more important than kindness these days. My friends are split. Some say I pay for the seat and have every right to keep it. Others say it's only for a few hours. I should have helped a mom out. Am I the asshole? No. No, no, no. Here's the thing: if you paid for a seat and you pick the seat you want, that's your seat. If you want to switch with someone, great, but you are not obligated in the slightest. A lot. And if you're a mother or a father and you want to sit with your child or significant other, then buy the tickets ahead of time is my feelings. Now, I understand things come up. Sometimes, like it's an emergency, someone died, you bought a last-minute flight, you want to sit next to your kid. That I understand. But to expect so and you could ask. But wait, hold on. The kid was in the middle. Oh, they were both in the middle. Yeah, it doesn't matter. Like if you're in the middle, I say the only time is if the kid is like under four years old. Then you have the right to ask, but you still can't feel entitled. No, you're not the asshole. I think your friends are assholes for not taking your sign. I will say this though. I am very understanding if it's an aisle for an aisle or it's a window for a window. Then I understand, except if you are like if you're paying extra for an extra leg room, which this person said they paid extra, then no, it's not a fair trade. If it's a fair trade, like three rows back aisle for aisle, then like, yeah, it doesn't hurt you to move. You should accommodate. But if it's aisle for a middle or an extra leg room, a downgrade, no, then you're not obligated in the slightest. Am I wrong for not telling my friend her fiance flirted with me? Ooh. My best friend got engaged six months ago. A few weeks before the proposal, her now fiance replied to one of my Instagram stories. The messages weren't explicitly inappropriate, but they definitely felt flirty. Things like calling me beautiful, nope, that's inappropriate, and asking why I was still single, nope, not appropriate. I never responded and eventually deleted the messages. Now they're planning their wedding and I still haven't told her. Part of me thinks she deserves to know. Another part thinks if I tell her, it will look like I'm trying to ruin her engagement. The wedding is next year and she's constantly talking about how lucky she is. Am I wrong for keeping my mouth shut? Alright. I will say, with one of my girlfriends, I very much disliked her boyfriend, and I told her. And she ended up marrying him anyway, and me and her stopped being friends because me and him did not get along. Fast forward like five years later, they got divorced, and me and the friend are back to being very, very close. What am I getting at? I told her, she took his side and she kind of cut me out. So, what am I getting at? I think, oh, this is so hard. I think, yes, him calling you beautiful and flirting and saying that's inappropriate. But it's one step shy of having to tell her. Like if he like came on to you, like, can I take you off for a drink? Or like touched you, tried to kiss you, something like that. Yes, you would have to tell her. This flirty it's not enough. It's not enough. It's not enough. Sorry, I think you have to keep your I well, no one this person doesn't know me, but I I don't think I don't think you're wrong for not telling your friend.

SPEAKER_03

I think she used to say something to him.

SPEAKER_02

Well, now it's been months since it happened. A few weeks before the proposal, yeah.

SPEAKER_03

And he hasn't done it since.

SPEAKER_02

I think it was a one time, is what I'm gathering.

SPEAKER_03

For all we know, maybe he was again, I I I I Yeah, playing devil's advocate. Playing devil's advocate. Maybe he wasn't. And he just That's how he talks. That that could have just been how he talked, and again, if she took it the wrong way, but if it hasn't happened again.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Cause here's also the thing that you have to be aware of. Men sometimes think that they're being like cheeky and flirty and cute, not realizing that women, we have our guards up and we're like, this is inappropriate. Like men sometimes are so just oblivious to what's what's a line. Do you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_03

Like 100%?

SPEAKER_02

Men sometimes think like, oh, I'm compliment- I'm making them feel the not realizing that just don't talk about women bodies. Except for maybe the prime minister. Unless it's prime. Wait, were you like insulted? I was so insulted. And she was like, I was like, how could I describe you? Like Oh my god. I was like, oh my gosh, what's wrong with her? All right. Next. Did I take it too far with my neighbor? Uh-oh. My neighbor blasts music every single weekend. I've tried talking to him. I've left notes. I've even contacted our building management. Nothing's changed. Last Saturday, he started playing music at 1 a.m. So I got up at 7 a.m., wheeled my speaker into the balcony, pointed it directly at his window, and played children's song at full volume for an hour. He came outside furious and called me immature. Now other neighbors are saying I should have handled it differently. Did I take it too far? Did you take it too far? Like, look, was it the mature way? But look, you told management, you spoke to him. He is wrong for playing music at 1 a.m. Like Dr. Piano Man never plays the piano past 10 p.m. ever. So for this guy to be blasting music at 1 a.m. is so inappropriate. So you spoke to him, you spoke to management. There was literally nothing else to do. So you were giving him a taste of his own medicine. Was it the most mature? No. Did you take it too far? Maybe. Would you change anything? Probably not. I don't know. Hopefully he got the message and stops playing his stupid music at 1 a.m.

SPEAKER_03

I'm surprised other neighbors didn't complain as well.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Yeah. They should be more mad at him than you. Oh, this one's good. Okay. Am I the bitch for telling my bridesmaid's boyfriend he couldn't propose at my wedding? Ooh. I'm getting married this fall, and one of my bridesmaids has been dating her boyfriend for about seven years. Everyone assumes they're eventually going to get engaged. A few weeks ago, her boyfriend actually reached out to me directly and asked if I would be okay with him proposing during my wedding. He said all of their friends and families would already be there, and he thought it would be a special opportunity. I immediately said no. Not only did I say no, but I told him I would be upset if he proposed during any part of the wedding weekend, including the welcome party, rehearsal dinner, wedding reception, after party, farewell brunch, or really any event connected to the wedding. He apologized and said he completely understood. Honestly, I thought that was the end of it. But later, my bridesmaid told me he felt embarrassed by how strongly they reacted. Apparently, he was expecting me to either say yes or politely decline. Instead, I basically gave him a speech about how much time, money, and effort goes into a wedding and how I wasn't interested in sharing the spotlight with anyone. Now, a few friends have heard about it and think I was unnecessarily intense. They agree that the proposal at the wedding itself would be inappropriate, but they think claiming the entire wedding weekend was excessive. One Fred even said, You got the answer you wanted. Why keep going? I don't think I did anything wrong. He asked a question, I answered honestly, and I wanted to make sure there was zero confusion about my boundaries. But now I'm wondering if I crossed the line with how strongly I handled it. Alright. Okay. Alright, everyone sit down. I know that I know we're getting heated. Everyone calm down. I'm gonna say what I think is appropriate, and then I'm gonna say what how I feel because they're two different things, actually. I think it's in not great taste to ask the bride if you can propose at her wedding. Especially being on the other end now, I can tell you it there is so much work going into the wedding. So much, so much work, so much money that it is understandable for the bride to say, like, I just spent so much money. I spent so much work. Like this weekend is about me and my fiance and our marriage. Like that's what I want this weekend. I just think if you're thinking of proposing at someone else's wedding, uh just don't, I just don't. Like, there's just other times, there's better times. I also think with the bride, you can't claim the whole weekend. Maybe not at any of the events, like at the welcome party or the rehearsal dinner or the wedding or the brunch. No, but to do it before the wedding on the beach or after wedding, but even still, then to make the announcement. I I don't think I I think the bride is absolutely justified in just wanting this weekend to be hers for the it's her wedding weekend. I get it. Now, my feelings, I would freaking love it. I would love it. If I already told Dr. Beyond Man, I really want like people at our wedding that are single like to hook up on the dance floor. If someone like I mean, as as of right now, no one I know who's pregnant is coming to the wedding, but like if someone was nine months pregnant and had the baby at the wedding, I'd be like, this is. Greatest wedding of all time. Or if someone got engaged at my wedding, I'd be thrilled. I would want them to have their moment. It's my Aunt Debbie's birthday at the wedding. I am like, I hope we get to sing to her at some point. You know, like to me, the more good, the better for me at my wedding. Do you know what I mean? I just want all the happy and good things. So that's my feeling. But I completely understand most brides not wanting that. So are you the bitcher saying, no, you can't. No, you can't claim the entire weekend. If they want to propose, because like if I don't know if it's a destination, I don't know the situation, but maybe they're thinking while we're away or while you can't claim the whole weekend. You get you do get to claim the events you're paying for. And that I'll leave it at that.

SPEAKER_03

I am 100% behind you on that. For everything I was thinking, you actually said the events, off limits. But I'm sorry, if you're laying in bed, you're allowed to turn to the birthday. Will you marry me?

SPEAKER_02

You're walking the beach that morning? Absolutely. But you also agree with me that for me, Robin, I would love it. But we're shawls.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, we want the happy.

SPEAKER_02

We want all the good. Like we we don't believe in too much good.

SPEAKER_03

Exactly.

SPEAKER_02

We also don't believe that good should be designated for one person. Like the good all of it. Okay. Should we do one more?

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, let's do one more.

SPEAKER_02

I just read the title. Why do I feel like you wrote this in?

SPEAKER_03

Okay, let's see it.

SPEAKER_02

Am I the asshole for eating the birthday cake before the party? I'm a 45-year-old man.

SPEAKER_03

46.

SPEAKER_02

And I live with my sister. That's all I'm gonna say. No, it doesn't say his age. Okay. I live with my sister. Last weekend she bought a custom birthday cake for her boyfriend. It was sitting in their fridge the night before the party. At around midnight, I got hungry and decided to just try one bite. One bite turned into several bites. Then I realized the side looked uneven, so I cut off a little mort on the other side to make it symmetrical. By the time I was done, about a quarter of the cake was gone. The next morning I panicked and tried to cover the missing section with extra frosting from the grocery store. Unfortunately, the cake had a giant hand printed design on it. So it was extremely obvious. My sister was livid and had to make an emergency trip to buy cupcakes before the party. I offered to reimburse her, but she said it wasn't about the money. It was about the fact that I knowingly ate birthday cake that wasn't mine. My parents think she's being dramatic because I did pay her back. I think maybe I made a mistake, but accidents happen. Okay, this totally could have been you. Alright, yeah, you're the asshole. Like you can't be eating someone else's birthday cake. No, he's so in the wrong.

SPEAKER_03

Okay, wait, did he know it was for the party?

SPEAKER_02

I'm assuming so.

SPEAKER_03

But maybe he thought it was leftovers.

SPEAKER_02

The birthday party hadn't happened yet. And it's a freshly birthday cake that hadn't been. You're just justifying it because you wrote this in. No, I was fun. This was a fun episode. All right, let's go for our producer shout-outs and motherly, oh geez, advice.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. I'm playing to Nasty. You need something?

SPEAKER_02

Oh, we were gonna do like the uh the episode. You know, are you busy?

SPEAKER_01

Oh I'll be ready in two, three hours.

SPEAKER_02

Three hours. I thought you were gonna say like ten minutes.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_02

We're not gonna have motherly advice. So, oh, do you want to do uh the producer shout-outs and brotherly advice?

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

You're a little too excited. Or do you have the producer? Do you oh yeah, you added all the episodes. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

All right, go take it away. We'd like to thank all the Patreons, and we especially want to thank those in the producer tier. We want to thank Susan Santoro, Melissa Kirsch, uh Victoria and Deanna, Tamar Fix, and Dr. Piano Man. And uh thank you for supporting Robin and supporting the arts. How's that?

SPEAKER_02

That was really good. Yeah. And you blinked. Oh, and I blinked. Susan and Santoro. Oh, if you'd like to join Patreon, the link is below. We do behind the scenes and live streams, and you always get info before it drops publicly. So head over if you'd like to join. All right, and now we're ready for our brotherly advice.

SPEAKER_03

If you're staying at a family member's house or you're visiting, and you see inside their refrigerator food, a cake, a birthday cake. Oh, yeah, but now you're not blinking. Oh.

SPEAKER_02

What the hell is wrong with my family? They get crazy. Oh, well, I blinked. Okay.

SPEAKER_03

Patreon?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, we'll keep it.

SPEAKER_03

As I was saying, if you're staying at a family member's house and you're hungry and you look in the refrigerator and you see that there's a cake, birthday cake, especially, ask first. Actually, in all seriousness, if you're ever staying at somebody's place and you see something, a food, ask permission first. And actually, this goes across the board with anything. If you're sta at somebody's house, no matter what, even saying, should I take off my shoes? Ask first. Like it's being respectful if you're going to visit somebody else's place and actually maybe just take off your shoes regardless.

SPEAKER_02

I I'd ask. Take off your pants. Walk around in your underwear. Oh, yeah, that was great brotherly advice. Alright, so now you're listening to Robin from the future. And if you're watching, you're like, wait, Robin, why do you look completely different? Okay, we filmed this episode that you're currently listening to slash watching a couple of days ago.

SPEAKER_03

Correct.

SPEAKER_02

And as you heard, Mama Shaw was busy. Can I stay? And so we just did brotherly advice instead. But I know my mother, and if we put out an episode without her, I will never hear the end of it. So we're gonna call her now, get her motherly advice. I guess then we could cut the brotherly advice.

SPEAKER_03

No!

SPEAKER_01

Get off of you.

SPEAKER_02

Gonna walk out. Will this be post-loof?

SPEAKER_03

Yes, right? Yes. So I should be a lot calmer.

SPEAKER_02

No, but a lot less of an asshole. We weren't recording when Richie had his freak out. And you were spitting a lot while you were freaking out. I guess you know I always joke with Richie, but the thing is he's like barely hanging on. So there's like a fine line of how hard I can hit today. Like there's a fine line. Like, just know I know I can make a joke, and at any moment he can leave. Like you almost left before. I'm saying, do you have food in your teeth?

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, probably.

SPEAKER_02

All right, let's call Mama Shawl and get our motherly advice. Hello. Hi. Welcome to the podcast. Oh, I'm so happy. I've been waiting for your call. How how was Canista? No, now it was I was on the beach. No, I know, but when we were originally recording this podcast, you couldn't talk because of Canasta.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, I won the game.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, good job. We're proud of you.

SPEAKER_01

Yes, thank you.

SPEAKER_02

So, mom, this episode I found like a bunch of on Reddit's like, was I wrong? Am I the asshole? Like, should I be in trouble? Can I read you one that's and you tell me, is this person in the wrong?

SPEAKER_00

Okay.

SPEAKER_02

Okay. I work with my best friend, and my best friend happens to be smart, hardworking, and usually right 100% of the time. I, on the other hand, make lots of mistakes. Today she was talking to me, and because I'm really stressed out about moving, I snapped at her. Am I wrong for snapping?

SPEAKER_03

Wait one second.

SPEAKER_02

There's no Reddit. If you're listening, I'm holding up the phone. I was not reading anything. Am I wrong for snapping at my sister just because I'm stressed about moving?

SPEAKER_01

Then you have to understand when your best friend is under stress and you have to then chalk it up and say, you know what? I'm just gonna let it go.

SPEAKER_02

No, I did actually. I actually let him sit here and freak out. And then like 20 minutes later, I called him out on that. Well, and then again.

SPEAKER_00

On the podcast.

SPEAKER_02

Well, that's what's gonna happen. That's what's gonna happen. You're gonna get called out on the podcast.

SPEAKER_01

But that's you know, you know the situation, and you understand.

SPEAKER_02

I also said before I called you, I let the I let said on the podcast. I said, guys, I just want you to know, you know, we usually tease security, but just know I'm walking a real fine line because I know he can walk out at any moment. Oh, did you want to do your motherly advice?

SPEAKER_01

Well, along those lines, sometimes what is it? We have to analyze quickly, analyze the situation, and sometimes we have to say sorry, and sometimes we just have to let things go. Just know what is happening on all ends of the situation and what the person is going through and give make less and allowances if someone is very stressed out for one reason or another.

SPEAKER_02

Yes. I think that's actually really solid advice.

SPEAKER_01

You know, and what is it? And sometimes you have to even make sure you bite your tongue, don't say anything that could, you know, what is it, escalate, decided to feel like or just wait till the podcast.

SPEAKER_02

Wait till the cameras are on and then say something. No, but like I know on show days I am so on edge and I snap, and you always just like take it, and then when I apologize after, you're like, whatever.

SPEAKER_03

And on show days I know, I'm like, okay, there's something Robin doesn't need to know this. Yeah, this is just gonna add to the stress. Right. I'll tell her after.

SPEAKER_02

Right. Mom, great advice. We actually already implement it, compliment it.

SPEAKER_03

Implement it.

SPEAKER_02

This is so funny. This is off topic. So we're watching Equalizer, the movie. I don't know if you guys there's three of them with uh Denzel Washington. So I said to Antonio the other day, I said, Do you want to watch the defibulator? And he was like, What? He said, I because I was like, the defibulator, do you want to watch it? Because we were like 10 minutes in. And he was like, I do you mean the equalizer?

SPEAKER_01

And you thought it was a defibulizer? I was a defibulizer.

But, you know, we want we want a packed room. So tell your friends, tell anyone you know in Boston. Uh, it's gonna be just so much fun. You and also tell people they don't need to know or follow me to enjoy this show. When I say we have created me, Regina and Security, a hilarious, fun, fun, fun party comedy show. It's gonna be the it's gonna be the best. Did we do an ending on like when we filmed the other day? We did, but we could do another one. So we're not gonna cut back to that?
