Episode 11

Get ready for another laugh-out-loud, thought-provoking, and nostalgic ride with Episode 11 of the Hello Sister Podcast w/ Tiff and Aunge! This week, the sisters bring their signature blend of humor, honesty, and sisterly debate as they tackle everything from trending social media moments to childhood throwbacks that will have you saying, “Wait… why were we singing that?!”

We kick things off with Around the Social Media World, diving straight into the internet’s latest debate surrounding the controversial character “Captain Durag” from Disney Junior’s newest show Hey A.J.!. Is this character a meaningful form of cultural representation, or is it crossing the line into foolery? Tiff and Aunge break it all down, offering two distinct perspectives that will have you thinking deeper about media, identity, and how culture is portrayed in children’s programming.

Next up, it’s time for the fan-favorite segment, What the Florida?,  and this one does NOT disappoint. The sisters unpack the viral chaos sparked by a satirical social media post from Tampa International Airport jokingly “banning” pajamas. What started as humor quickly turned into a full-blown internet debate, because let’s be honest… the internet stays undefeated. Tiff and Aunge go head-to-head with very different takes on whether rocking pajamas at the airport is acceptable or absolutely not. Comfort vs. presentation. Where do YOU stand?

From there, we take a hilarious trip down memory lane as the sisters revisit the most outrageous fashion disasters of the ‘80s and ‘90s. Think big hair, bold colors, questionable patterns, and styles that we were convinced were IT at the time. This nostalgic segment is packed with laughs, relatability, and maybe just a little bit of secondhand embarrassment.

And speaking of throwbacks, the conversation naturally flows into the songs we all loved as kids… but had absolutely NO business singing. You know the ones that were catchy, grown, and completely going over our heads back then. Tiff and Aunge reminisce on belting out lyrics with full confidence while having zero clue what they actually meant. It’s funny, it’s real, and it’s guaranteed to unlock some core memories.

To close out the episode, the sisters bring it back to the heart with a powerful and touching Sister Salute. This week, they honor the unsung heroes planning family reunions this summer. From organizing travel to coordinating meals and activities, these individuals play a vital role in keeping families connected. In times like these, community, love, and togetherness matter more than ever, and this salute is a beautiful reminder of that.

Episode 11 of the Hello Sister Podcast w/ Tiff and Aunge is the perfect mix of culture, comedy, nostalgia, and heartfelt appreciation. Whether you’re here for the debates, the laughs, or the real talk, this episode has something for everyone.

Tune in now, join the conversation, and don’t forget to share with your favorite sister-friends!

SPEAKER_01 0:00

Hello, sister. Hello, sister. Welcome to Hello Sister Podcast with Tiff and Ange, episode 11. 11. We roll in. Yes. Yes. So we got a great show for you today. We're going to do a little bit of around the social media. Of course, we have a What the F, also known as What the Florida. Couple hot topics we're going to do. Two hot topics. Fashion crimes we committed proudly when we were younger. And then also songs we had no business singing as kids. This is going to be good.

SPEAKER_00 0:37

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_01 0:38

I got some ringers on here. And of course, we end with a sister salute. So let's go ahead and get into it.

SPEAKER_00 0:45

Let's do it.

SPEAKER_01 0:46

Alright, so around the social media. Mm-hmm because there's a show called Hey AJ on Disney Jr. Super cute show. Marcus Bennett, who, or excuse me, Martellus Bennett, who was a former football player, played for the Cowboys, played for the Giants, played for the Packers, played for the Patriots. He created a show called Hey AJ. He does kid books as well. And there is a character on Hey AJ called Captain Durag. Yes, you heard me. Captain Durag. He wears a superhero outfit, a mask, and this extra long do-rag. This uh character came out February, so Black History Month of this year, and is really aimed at helping kids to promote cleaning. Great meaning. But what do you think about a black TV show on Disney Jr. with a superhero called Captain Durag?

SPEAKER_00 1:51

I love that there is a show that has black representation. I love that Disney Jr. is doing it because a lot of families put that on for their young kids.

SPEAKER_01 2:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:03

I adore the fact that it's something that I can set my children in front of the TV and allow them to watch when they're allowed to watch TV. So we will support it and we will watch it. Yes. However, I could get me blacker. I just don't like the foolery. Clean that room up, sucker.

SPEAKER_01 2:25

Come on, man. Come on, man. What are we talking about? He has a fame song too, which really gets me. Captain Dureck!

SPEAKER_00 2:36

I can't get with the foolery. I will allow my children to watch it, and I want to make sure that they get the ratings. So, like, yes, we will have it on in the house. I'm not watching it. I can't do it. I can't do it.

SPEAKER_01 2:48

Clean that room up, sucker.

unknown 2:50

I can't do it.

SPEAKER_01 2:51

Just a little, you know, tomfoolery. Good at heart, good meaning. Yes. But I do think, you know, part of our issue as black people is representation. Yes. And when we have an opportunity to have representation, we have to take that very seriously because that's how some people see us. Now, granted, there's a very positive thing about do-rags.

SPEAKER_00 3:12

Oh, my children wear do rags every night.

SPEAKER_01 3:14

Exactly.

SPEAKER_00 3:15

Yeah, both of them are lost.

SPEAKER_01 3:16

They understand what they do, right? We don't walk out the house and do rags, but they understand how it protects our hair. They understand the connection to bonnets and do-rags, and they understand that it is a part of our culture. Um, I just I this was on the cusp. This is on the cusp.

SPEAKER_00 3:34

Yeah, I'm not watching. We gonna represent it. We we're gonna allow the ratings to speak for themselves. We're gonna put it on in the house. I'm not watching. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 3:45

Well, here's what I'll say. Hey AJ is an adorable show. This little black girl is adorable. She has a little mole, which you know I have a mole. Yes, and I just love her. Her character is cute, it is representation. So although Captain Dorag may seem like foolery, please give this show a chance. Please support this show. It's so important. But it's actually really, really cute. Oh, and a good meaning behind it as well. He is encouraging people to clean up.

SPEAKER_00 4:14

Okay. We'll put it on in the house. It'll be on in the house for sure.

SPEAKER_01 4:18

But do rags and bonnets are not to go out the house.

SPEAKER_00 4:22

They are not. And I don't know if you saw this or not, but in our what the Florida. Come on, Florida. Tampa Airport has made a statement.

SPEAKER_01 4:31

Oh, did they? Yes. Okay, Tampa. We just can't stay out the news, can't we? We just can't stop being the topic of What the Florida.

SPEAKER_00 4:39

Well, I'm gonna read this so you can hear it. What the Florida. The way that I read it.

SPEAKER_01 4:45

But yeah, here we go.

SPEAKER_00 4:48

Tampa International Airport recently went viral after an announcement claiming it was banning pajamas at the airport. The post was meant to be a joke, exploded into a full-blown conversation about what people should and should not wear while traveling. The airport later clarified it was a playful social media banter, but then the internet had already taken the idea and run with it. Of course, you can't just post something like that and think you ain't gonna get no comments, Tampa. TPA? Listen, I couldn't care less what anybody wears to the airport. Be comfortable in your travels. So when I flew to Dubai, I knew I was gonna be on the flight for 14 and a half hours there and 15 and a half hours on the way back. I wanted to be comfortable. So I wore leggings and a t-shirt. That's what's comfortable to me. Um, but if I wanted to wear pajamas, I would have absolutely worn pajamas. I don't come out in a bonnet though. I can't I can't do that.

SPEAKER_01 5:54

I think all of it is too much. I can't do that. I get that little kids traveling are not easy, but I can't stand to see a two-piece kid in a two-piece with uh uh what's them little uh holy shoes? Crocs. Crocs on. I cannot. I I cannot stand pajamas. I feel like they make enough sweat outfits and casual clothes that you can be comfortable. Yeah. That's not pajamas. I cannot stand it. And when I see an adult, now you got companies like black companies too, like Fancy Homebody, who make adorable travel spanks that make where it has adorable travel, all to help you to be comfortable, but still, you know, look appropriate when you're out.

SPEAKER_00 6:36

Yeah, actively black is another one too. Like you can definitely find an outfit to travel in.

SPEAKER_01 6:42

Yeah, I just I can't. I can't with the pajamas. And so thank you, TPA, for calling it out. I'm not gonna wet the floor to you because I think you was on to something. I wish y'all were serious. Somebody needs to take a stand. We ain't learned nothing about Jesse Jackson.

SPEAKER_00 6:55

You know what?

SPEAKER_01 6:55

We know that we need to stand for something. I enjoy TPA's post and I wish they would stick by it. Sister. Because this is outrageous. I am behind you, TPA, and definitely bonnets. It is a sin to walk out that house with that bonnet.

SPEAKER_00 7:11

I'm gonna mind my business. I'm gonna mind my business. You you take your stance, but I'm gonna mind my business. Well, if you see me. If you're comfortable, let you be comfortable. I personally wouldn't do it, but if you could be comfortable, be comfortable. Protect that hair.

SPEAKER_01 7:23

Sure. I'm not gonna wet the Florida you today. Florida, you off the hook this time. But keep doing what you're doing. We're gonna keep covering you on this show. And there is always enough material to cover what the Florida. Always. I love that. All right. Let's keep it pushing. So we got two hot topics today. Uh, the first one is fashion crimes we committed probably when we were younger. Yes. Oh man, when we look back at some of those pictures, no, well, actually, what I think is really funny is when Sean finds pictures of us when we're younger and he puts them in the group chat.

SPEAKER_00 7:57

You know what? I don't even know where he's finding these pictures because these are physical pictures. Like, who has the pictures?

SPEAKER_01 8:04

Yeah, but guess what? You'll never see another picture. You know why? Why? Everybody will sleep at his mom's house this past New Year's. And I went looking. And I found every young picture that you do not like. And so we're gonna tip for tap. I'm gonna be real petty.

SPEAKER_00 8:20

Good. Post a picture of me. I'm gonna post a picture of you. I don't know how he found those pictures of me with no teeth. I know. Like the pictures of teeth missing.

SPEAKER_01 8:29

Like, where do you get those? He found them all. But those aren't the worst ones. So let's talk a little bit about some of those fashion crimes that we committed probably when we were younger.

SPEAKER_00 8:38

My favorite pictures of us are with the 80s Whitney Houston Tina Turner hair.

SPEAKER_01 8:46

Oh man.

SPEAKER_00 8:46

With the big teased hair, like out to human teased hair.

SPEAKER_01 8:50

I don't even know who thought that that was a fashion statement. Oh, you couldn't tell us we were on fly though. No. But it got worse. It got worse. It did. Then we decided to pull it back together with them high French rolls. Them French rolls. Remember the better. Our uh old hairstylist, Teresa?

SPEAKER_00 9:08

Everybody had a French roll.

SPEAKER_01 9:10

Everybody will walk down the floor.

SPEAKER_00 9:11

SPEAKER_01 9:15

That's the only style she did. No, she was awesome, but we had them French rolls going. Yeah, we did. What about banana clips? I hated banana clips. I I actually want them to come back. I do. I just think that they're adorable.

SPEAKER_00 9:28

Pass. Pass, pass. I love the hammer pants. The parachute pants? Oh, they're back. I love I'm gonna go get me a pair.

SPEAKER_01 9:38

They're back. And they they think that they're stylish with it. Nah. Those just coming back full circle. You don't need to stop. Seriously. One thing that I'm glad did stop is dark brown lips and dark brown lip liner. Really, not the brown lips, but the lip liner. I mean, we still recovering.

SPEAKER_00 9:54

I like lip liner.

SPEAKER_01 9:55

I mean, I do too, but not remember we used to wear that dark, dark brown lip liner. Yeah. That was horrible. It was, but it was so in style. Nah, nah. What about bobos? Remember we used to have those shoes, the bobos?

SPEAKER_00 10:10

SPEAKER_01 10:11

Oh, or uh uh scrunchy socks.

SPEAKER_00 10:14

SPEAKER_01 10:19

Those those are those shoes, those those white shoes that we used to wear back in the day. Oh, like the platform ones? Not platforms. No. Yeah, you'll have to look it up.

SPEAKER_00 10:27

I have to look it up. I don't know what bobos are. Um neon colors. Oh. Saved by the bell had all the neon colors. Yes, they do. And we wanted to be in whatever they were wearing. Yes, neon. Oh, I mean, cross colors, those. We love some colors. Oh my goodness. And my least favorite, and every time I see one of these pictures, I cringe. Shoulder pads.

SPEAKER_01 10:53

Oh yes.

SPEAKER_00 10:54

The higher the shoulder pads.

SPEAKER_01 10:56

Shoulder pads are back too. They're making their way back.

SPEAKER_00 10:59
