Episode 12B

Get ready for another unforgettable getaway episode of the Hello Sister Podcast w/ Tiff and Aunge! Episode 12B brings you straight onto the cruise ship where the vibes are high, the laughs are nonstop, and yes, the pajamas and pearls are in full effect. Because no matter where we go, the signature look is coming with us!

We kick things off by showing love to the incredible culture and hospitality of The Bahamas. From the smooth rum to the flavorful food and vibrant energy, we take a moment to appreciate everything that made this trip feel extra special. There’s nothing like island life to set the tone for good conversations and even better memories.

This episode is all about friendship, and we dive right in with a hot take inspired by Plies and his “no new friends” stance. Aunge is standing firm. She’s not looking to add anyone new to her circle. Tiff, on the other hand, is open and loving the idea of making new connections wherever she goes. It’s a classic sister debate: loyalty to your day ones vs. being open to new energy. Where do you stand?

From there, we get a little deeper with a thought-provoking question: Is it okay to confide in all of your friends? We talk boundaries, trust, and whether your friends should really be all up in your relationship business. Not every friend needs full access, and we break down why discernment is key when it comes to protecting your peace and your partnerships.

Then we pivot into a conversation that is equal parts hilarious and real: what to do if a close friend suddenly passes away. Now listen, this is where things get wild but practical. We’re talking about being a true ride-or-die friend: clear the nightstand drawer, delete the group chats, wipe the browser history, secure the secret stash, and take care of the kids. Oh, and those mysterious VHS tapes, DVDs, and old photos? Straight to the trash, no questions asked! It’s funny, it’s honest, and it’s all about loyalty beyond the grave.

Even though we skipped our usual “What the Florida?” segment this time, don’t worry, we promise to come back with ALL the post-cruise shenanigans once we’re back on land. And trust us, there’s plenty to share.

Speaking of shenanigans… we couldn’t ignore the cruise ship drama unfolding right next door. Aunge’s neighbors kept things interesting every single day. Day one? Confiscated luggage. Day two? A full-on room search with dogs. Day three? Loud arguments echoing through the hallway. It was chaotic, messy, and honestly… a little entertaining. You already know we had to break it all down.

We also get into the confidence level of cruise passengers, because BABY, when we say people were FREE, we mean it. Chest hair, bellies, booty cheeks… all on display with zero hesitation. The people-watching alone deserves its own segment, including one unforgettable character we lovingly refer to as the “country pimp” who disclosed he has ten kids. Let’s just say… cruise etiquette might need to be a future topic!

We wrap up Episode 12B with a well-deserved Sister Salute to The Lip Bar. Our lips were popping the entire cruise, and the compliments did not stop. If you’ve been looking for a lipstick that delivers, just know TLB understood the assignment.

From friendship debates and real-life loyalty talks to cruise chaos and beauty must-haves, this episode has it all. So grab your favorite drink, sit back, and vibe out with Tiff and Aunge—because even on vacation, the conversations stay real, the laughs stay loud, and the sisterhood always comes first.

Hello, sister. Hello, sister. Welcome to Hello Sister Podcast with Dippin' Oz. Cruise edition. We on vacation. Yes, child. But guess what? The pajamas and the pearls come with us. Everywhere we go. That's right. Yes. You having fun? I am having fun so far. You're relaxing? I am. I am. I think I said in the last video I was looking forward to our excursion in Nassau and it got canceled. I know. That does suck. But we had a good time in between. Yes, we did. Bahamians know how to have a good time. Oh my gosh. All the drinks. Yes. The drinks. The drinks, the rum, rum cake, rum, everything. Rum tasting. Hey, I'm not complaining. It was good time. Exactly. But that barbecue. Oh my gosh. Yeah. That food was so good. Seasoned. I know. I'm here for it. Fall off the bone, me. I'm ready. Even the mac and cheese. Yeah, that was a good mac and cheese. Yeah, I'm all mad at it. Oh, I'm excited to keep going. Yes, the vacation is not over. We still have plenty to do. Yes, we do. I'm excited. Yep. Well, we have a great show for you. Today is all about friends. Yes. And vacationing. We're gonna enjoy some good conversation about our friends. Absolutely. Alright, so let's kick it off. All right. Well, you know how we say no new friends. No new friends. And I heard Plize said, no new friends. Yeah, Pliaz was not playing. He said they get you in trouble. He said, Y'all cool when you when you're younger, but when you get older, they ain't gonna do nothing but turn on you. Mm-hmm. So he said, No new friends. Well, I agree. You do? I agree. You know I agree. I don't think I should have to go through it's like it's like uh getting into a new relationship. Yeah, I gotta get to know you, see what we have in common. That's a lot of work. I'm trying to date and I gotta date friends too. Nah. But do you got old friends that you hang out with? Because you gotta have some people you hang with. Well, you know, I have all my oldies for goodies. Sometimes, you know, we may not talk for a long period of time, but we do come back together and we have a good time and we do. So I have those friends. I got you. Yeah, I'm always here. Thank you. So you agree with plays, no new friends. What do we need new friends for? And then you gotta feel you have to question their motives and stuff. Like, I don't know. I don't know. This good big age, I like to make some new friends. I like being outside. I want to do adult things, so I actually like making new friends.

SPEAKER_01 2:31

Good for you.

SPEAKER_00 2:32

Not good for you. It ain't good for me, it's good for you. I'm applause. No new friends. Fine. All right, applause, you win. No new friends. Good. Thank you. We agree. Hilarious. What's next? Hilarious. Well, sticking with the friends, what's next? Well, I know they say you're supposed to keep your friends out of your business. How do you feel about having not people in your business, but like people who um you confide in? Like, do you think it's okay to confide in all of your friends? So I have mixed feelings about this. I think everyone needs a good girlfriend that you can have a good relationship that you can tell things to and be vulnerable. Watch your relationship. I promise you, especially your single girlfriends, they're gonna do nothing and get you in trouble. They're gonna get you all riled up. You ain't leaving that man. So why are you getting all riled up? That's true. If you go digging, you're always gonna find something. Now that is true. So go digging. But if your girlfriend goes digging, oh she's gonna egg you on badly. We are the best detectives. We are, we're gonna find that man and everything about him. Carmen San Diego. We are Carmen San Diego. Where in the world? Everything. Oh pictures, old girlfriends, everything. We're gonna find, we're gonna dig it up. Social media don't let nothing be hidden. You know, you just do your own background checks now. Yeah, you can. I did. You know what? I sure did. When I was getting married, I was like, you know, I know he got this good job. He worked for my lawn sister. Well, let me just see what I can find. He passed. And that was 15 years ago. Yes, that was 15 years ago. At the snap of a finger now. Yeah, you can search anybody as long as you have enough information on them. You can search anybody and you have a good background check. Yeah. With credit score, previous work history, previous marriages, home purchases, all that's public information.

SPEAKER_01 4:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 4:37

But if you're gonna let your girlfriend help you, just be careful how you go about this. Because if you find something, if you're not gonna leave that man, go about it the right way. Just ask the right questions, ask it in the right way, and then that way you can make your decisions based on what you hear. But if you jump to a hundred and there's an explanation for it, you're gonna feel like crap. Well, I always say communication is key. So go to the source. Yeah. If you have a question about something questionable, go to the source. Yeah. And ask him or her what's up with this. Yeah. And if you went snooping, if you were bad enough to go snooping, be bad enough to bring the evidence forward and say, you know, this is what I found. It I'm I'm at the point at this age, if I'm questioning it, and if I feel like I need to go through your phone, I think we're done. Yeah, why are we together? I think we're done. Because I I don't have a good reason to trust you, and you haven't given me a good reason to trust you, then I think we're done. I I don't have the energy to be out here snooping in phones and following you around. You know what's funny? That girl that is the private investigator. I see her on Instagram. I wish I knew her handle, and all she does is eat in the car while she's investigating people. I know that's right. You know what I'm talking about? I don't. Oh my gosh, I gotta show you some of it. All she does, she's always in the car, she was always eating, and she is investigating somebody. So, like you can find out what other people are doing. It is the juiciest, messiest stuff. And this one that I saw, the the wife was following the husband because she didn't feel like he was doing something he was supposed to do, and he kept telling her he was just going to the gym. And she said he'd be gone for hours, and she just knew he was cheating. And I know that body ain't look no better. The body didn't look no better. Yeah, so the private investigator found him. He went into the gym and came out of the gym, went to the drive-through, and got him some food and ate in the car. That's what he was doing, that's what he was doing. He wanted a meal, he wanted some quiet, he wanted time away from the family. Yep, that's hilarious. She wanted a break. He wanted a break, hilarious. I mean, he was going to the gym, he just ruined it with the fast food afterwards. That is hilarious. Yeah, he needed a break. Yeah, and that's the best type of discovery. Yeah, but let me just discover that he was telling the truth. Let me discover that, please, and thank you. Yeah, but I just yeah. But the point is to keep your friends out of your business. Hopefully, you just go to the source, you talk to the source, and that's the end of it. If not, then you gotta have a deeper conversation. Yeah, if every second I'm like something going on, something is going on. Yeah, and if if it ain't going on, I don't want to feel that way. Yeah, so that's enough. The only there was only one relationship I was ever in, and I went looking. And I did find something, and it was old, but it was enough because the desire to go looking was what didn't sit right with me. Well, I will tell every time that I've looked, I've found something. Yeah, people can't just act right. Can't just act right? It's social media, you have too much access to people. So even if you were looking to circle the block and to somebody that you were dating before, yeah, then you can just find their social media and DM them. Easy. And if you are meeting new people, DMing them, and if they're interested, y'all messaging back, inappropriate messages and stuff. Too much, it's just a need for attention, and we have too much access. Yeah, we need to take it back to the 99 and the 2000s before cell phone, yeah. Absolutely, that AOL dial up. Ain't nobody taking that long. It's a commitment to cheat online. It was. And you had to find them in the chat room and they had to be online at the same time. Nah, yeah. Here came my space. That gave us some good access. You know, I tried to unfriend Tom so many times. Not Tom. I tried to. I tried to unfriend Tom. It'd popped right back in my list. Hilarious. Still.

unknown 8:46

SPEAKER_00 8:46

No new friends and keep your friends. Friends out your business. I like it. Speaking of friends, I'm gonna tell you how you can be a really good friend to me. Okay.

Absolutely. Immediately. Please. Delete it and delete it from delete mail. I'm gonna go ahead and say just delete all my messages. Yeah. Gone. Everything. Gone. Uh I'm also gonna need you to um delete my browsing history while you delete your stuff. Oh Lord. Now who's searching your browsing history? Just don't ask no questions. Alright, last no question. It's gone. I'm telling them myself, but please. You know, we got the secret money. Oh yeah. Go get that money. If you don't have no secret money, you're doing yourself a disservice. You gotta always have a stash. Yes. Red to go stash. For what? I don't know. But just have it ready to go. Yeah, absolutely. So you know where it's at. Put it away. I got you. Make sure don't nobody get it. I got you. You got me. I got you. We good. Absolutely. Go take a good vacation. Um, take care of them kids. Seriously. Yeah, make sure my kids are straight. Of course.

If it say family feud, just throw it away. Don't even put on there. Don't even look. You know, I want to add to the mix is old pictures. And in my case, it will be anything after 2001 sorority pictures. Oh, don't even open it. If you see some of my lobsters and me in one flip, just put it in the trash. Trash. Well, actually, no, give it to give it to my deadline sister. Okay, I know. I know exactly who to give it to. Yeah, give it to her, give it to her. Okay and if she's gone, put it in the trash. Okay.

We had uh we had a good time. Yeah. So if not so reminisce. We celebrate 25 years this year. Oh, what a blessing. And now it's 25 years of sisterhood. It is, it's been phenomenal. I love that for you. Thank you. However, delete it immediately. Immediately. Heard. I got you. I got you. Yeah. So we already know how to be good sisters and good girlfriends to each other. I appreciate you, sister. Love you, sister. You know what I'm really disappointed? What? I don't have a with the Florida. Oh man. I don't. I did not do my research before the cruise. But Florida, we know. You back home. You are at home doing something crazy. And when we get back, we're gonna tell it. We'll do two, and I'm gonna go to the house. We're gonna run and tell it because I am sure Florida has been floatering while we've been gone. Absolutely. Oh, I don't look forward to going back and seeing the best. I do. That's one thing I have to say. Like, you know, 2026, five and six, we've been really unbothered. Yes. Like we ain't plugged in. No. We letting the world happen. Yeah. You know, not to say anything bad, it's just we're unbothered. So this cruise has been an awesome experience of unplugging and being unbothered. Yeah, I've been child-free. Yes. And I sent some videos home because we didn't do the internet package. So I sent some videos home for the kids to see uh every day. I don't miss being called mommy. Yeah. There were some kids running and they were like, mommy, mommy, mommy. And I was like, Yes, that ain't me. Yeah. Starting yelling at kids the whole time. Sit down. Oh my gosh. Sit down. This lady, she peeked her head out the cabin door and she was like, Y'all stop running. They have been running up and down them hallways. And you immediately heard this scream in the hallway. They were out playing. Sit down. But they weren't even her kids. You knew they were her kids. You can tell anyone's kids these on the ship.

unknown 13:43

Right at.

SPEAKER_00 13:43

Yeah. Sit down. And then um there was some arguing last night. Oh. You know how you really can't hear anything through the cabin door. Our neighbors. Our neighbors had been off the chain the entire time. Every time we step in the hallway, something going on in the neighborhood. The first day, he said he got a note that they confiscated his luggage. Ooh. And the steward, cabin steward, was like, hey, uh, you have some liquor in your luggage or something? Because they'll take it if you do. And then he said he saw the notice and it was his bag was locked. So they went to inspect it, but the bag was locked. So he had to go down and pick it up from security. Okay. That's not bad. That's the first day. Okay. Second day, I get back to the door, they're like, Step outside, we need to search your room. Oh. They went in the room with the dogs. Wait a minute, I didn't even know the dogs was on the ship. The dog is on the ship. Wow. They went in the room with the dogs. How are you watching this? This is my next door neighbor. Every time I go in the hallway, you see something like that. There is something happening. Sheesh. Yeah. So the second that's the first day was the confiscating the luggage. Second day, they searched his room. Same neighbor. Same neighbor. The third day, him and the girlfriend was arguing like in the middle of the night. Now we saw them upstairs getting ice cream and they seemed real happy. So this was hours later, probably a few drinks later. Later on that. That's too much. And you know what I was mad about? I couldn't hear what was going on. Uh you want to hear me. I don't know what it was. I couldn't. No. No. That's annoying. Like it is. Y'all argue at home. Yeah, we unbothered. Yeah. We're trying to be unbothered. So I'm wondering what it's gonna be tonight. Every day has been something. Every day has been something. So drama. He'd be out there with his little chest out, his little taco beat out. Yeah. Put a taco beat. You on vacation. Put that taco beat away. Taco Tuesday. It's Tuesday. Every day is Tuesday. Every day is Tuesday for him. Taco Tuesday. Oh, he got this little meat hanging out. Po baby. Yeah. He's had some bad luck this trip. Yeah. Well, it's been highly entertaining though.

SPEAKER_01 16:00

You know, I'll be back.

SPEAKER_00 16:00

It's not a little tea. It's not me. As long as it's not me, I don't care. That's one of my favorite things, is actually people watching. Yeah. We've been people watching the whole time. It's been so much fun. It has been. I wish I had the confidence of some of these people. I know. If I had a little booty back there, my little cheeks be I wish. Swinging too. I wish. I you know, I lost my little weight and I lost my little booty. But if I had my booty back, I might put some cheeks out.

SPEAKER_01 16:25

You know?

SPEAKER_00 16:26

You on vacation. Everybody else got the confidence. Why not us? I know. I just don't have the confidence. I'll I'll get it one day. I mean, bellies be out. Yeah, them them hoopas. Man, I wish I had the confidence. I would do it. I don't know if I would go that far. They all jiggling. Everything jiggling, baby. I'm saying, like, they are fully confident and they don't care what you think. I mean, I guess they're never gonna see you again after the cruise is over. You vacation, you vacation. When else your tail gonna be out. I just need them to stop sitting on stuff. Like no, like put your cheeks up if you're gonna sit on a table like that. Absolutely terrible. Cheeks out there. Yeah, put that away. Put out beat up too. Put oh. Them toes, you knew you were coming on vacation. You knew you needed a pedicure. Even if you don't want to get a pedicure, don't have to get a pedicure. Why are your feet on the table? I can't wait.

SPEAKER_01 17:17

What you doing?

SPEAKER_00 17:18

There's a lot of that. We should have done a segment on cruise etiquette. Oh, when we get back, we're gonna do a segment on cruise etiquette. Because there is a lot of not good etiquette on this ship. Y'all take that somewhere else. Uh one thing I will tell you, we getting back on the ship on time. Oh, yeah. We not getting left in any destination. Although we almost cut it close in the Bahamas on Celebration Key. We had about 20 minutes to get back to the ship. That's pushing it. 20 minutes is pushing it, but it's not pushing it to the limit, limit. If we would have gotten the limit, yeah. It's close to the limit. It is probably too close for the that's way too close. It's hunking the whore. So we got a little hunker on it. Hunking the whore. Well, there were people still shopping. I know. I don't know what they were thinking. Get back on this ship. There's another cruise that's like right behind us, so it's going on the same exact night. What is it called? Trek as us. Um, there's some five ones on a ship.

SPEAKER_01 18:18

I know.

SPEAKER_00 18:19

We got a lot to talk about when we get back. Yeah. Y'all fellas like to cruise, huh? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Good to know. Good for her to know. Good for me to know, yes. A man on the ship.

SPEAKER_00 18:31

This one. He's dusty. There's a pimp on our ship with 10 kids. Yes. And uh I am not using the word pimp lately. No. Full purple, full red, full every night. Yeah. I wonder what's going to be tonight. Oh no. He he is so handsome. Yes. So country. Not a good look. He can't tell him he ain't fine. He knows he's fine. That's why he dressed head to toe. I always expect him to be a little older. No, he's not. He's not. I I wouldn't give him more than 52, maybe. Pushing it, yeah. I wouldn't give him more than 52. Yeah. Pushing it. If he works for a country, that's a good age. I'd probably talk to him. Well, P nah, he got 10 kids. Yeah, you already said he got 10 kids. That's out. Yeah. 10 plus 2? Nah. It ain't cheaper by the dozen. It ain't cheaper by the dozen. And we ain't having no more. He's a billionaire on Tal Right. Oh no. No ma'am. Alright. Never mind. No? Okay. Yeah. Still. We are having a great time. We miss y'all. We too.

SPEAKER_01 20:02

Away from here.

SPEAKER_00 20:07

That mic is not on. I'm on vacation and unbothered. Unbothered. I love it. There's some good drinks on the ship. There's great entertainment. Cruising, I feel like, is the best way to travel. Agreed. Like, I don't know why you would want to do it any other way to have an all-inclusive vacation. It's been awesome. You can go to one destination and do all inclusive, but I like island hopping. Yeah. It's been really fun. Yeah. We need to do it more often. We used to do it all the time and just haven't since really COVID. That's true. Yeah, you've done more than I have, but I've definitely been uh slacking on my pimping. Well, we backpimping baby. Backpimping. Let's do it. Alright, y'all. It's been fun. Uh, I have the sister salute today. My sister salute is to the lip bar. We've been getting compliments this entire cruise. Yes. Everybody's been commenting the lips. We got all the colors, and everybody's loving our lips. So shout out to the lip bar. Rich auntie. Rich Auntie. Yes, it has been so so pretty to wear and mix and match with our outfits. So the lip bar. Thank you very much. All right. Well, that's the end of our show, sister. Yes, it is. It's been fun. Yeah. So to the sister who cared, to the sister who dared, to the sister who said yes to herself, we see you, we celebrate you, and we salute you. Bye-bye. Love you, sister. Love you, sister.
