Episode 28: The Grim Reaper, Oprah at 44, and the Men Who Shocked Us

 Episode 28 is officially the moment Hello Sister Podcast entered its sitcom era. Tiff and Aunge kick things off with a What the Florida? so wild it could only happen in the Sunshine State: a USPS worker arrested for allegedly stealing a winning $2,600 lottery ticket. Sis is facing more charges than an Apple Pay account on Black Friday.

 Then we jet over to Around the Social Media World, where a man in Wales decided to cosplay as the Grim Reaper… on a rooftop… across from a hospital. For an hour. Just staring. (Sir, therapy is available.) And Oprah? She blessed Keke Palmer’s podcast with a gem: if she could time travel, she’d go back to age 44, the year she stopped people-pleasing and started living with clarity, purpose, and full self-love. A word.

 But the real twist comes in Surviving the Men in Our Comments, a segment that started as a roast and turned into a revelation. Some of the men showed up with honesty, vulnerability, and actual wisdom. We said “Wait… y’all have RANGE?” The conversation turned surprisingly wholesome, insightful, and yes… still funny.

 We close with a heartfelt Sister Salute to Melani Sanders, founding member of the We Do Not Care Club, a movement normalizing perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause for every woman who reaches that chapter. Because silence helps no one, and sisterhood helps everyone.

 If you think this episode starts wild… wait until you hear where it ends. Press play and stay with us. The last 10 minutes might be our best yet.

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Hello, sister. Hello, sister. Welcome to Hello Sister Podcast with Tiffany Ange, episode 28. 28. We roll it. We roll it.

SPEAKER_02 0:09

Yes. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 0:10

Bye-bye. We have a great show for you today. Of course, we're gonna kick off the show with a uh with a Florida. Because Florida be Florida. We're gonna talk a little bit about around social media, and then uh we're gonna talk a little bit about surviving the men in our comments. And then we'll end in a sister salute. Sounds good. You ready to do this thing?

SPEAKER_01 0:36

Let's do it. We may do it. Alright, so we're gonna start it off in a what the Florida, and I'm going to read this so you can hear it the way that I read it, because this is wild. Oh, well, when are they not wild? I say it every week, but there's something every week. Alright, well, let's get it. A Florida U.S. Postal Service worker was arrested on suspicion of stealing a winning lottery ticket and redeeming it at a Florida lottery office. The investigation began after a Florida lottery ticket buyer went to Publix to verify the prize on their ticket and confirmed it was a winner for $2,600.

SPEAKER_00 1:16

Ooh, $2,600? Yes. Wow.

SPEAKER_01 1:18

The unidentified person then mailed the ticket to a family relative in South Florida in an effort to help the relative pay for funeral cost. According to the arrest affidavit, when the ticket wasn't delivered, the buyer made a report to the Florida lottery that the ticket had not been delivered by the U.S. Postal Service. Upon further investigation, it was revealed the ticket was cashed in by the postal worker on June 19th in Miami-Dade District Office. This just happened. This just happened.

SPEAKER_00 1:47

What in the Florida?

SPEAKER_01 1:49

Upon her arrest, the postal worker admitted her. The postal worker admitted to stealing the winning ticket and cashing it in. She was charged with grand theft, dealing in stolen property, filing a false claim for payment, two counts of unlawful use of a two-way communication device, and mail theft.

SPEAKER_02 2:09

What in the world?

SPEAKER_01 2:10

And because the alleged offenses happen in multiple judicial circuits, the case will be prosecuted separately.

SPEAKER_00 2:20

What in the Florida? Child, this is wild. It is wild. So first, can I ask? And I know you don't know the answer to this, but did a man just get a regular 8.5 by 11 folded paper envelope where I could put it. See what it is.

SPEAKER_01 2:37

See what it is and mail it? $2,600? I I don't know. I would have cashed it in and put it in the Western Union or something.

SPEAKER_00 2:45

The only thing I can think of is maybe the person didn't live in the state of Florida and you have to go to the state of Florida off lottery office to cash them in. Maybe. So there's nothing wrong with signing the back and then going and mailing it, but it doesn't make sense to me of how the postal worker knew unless that person has had some sort of scheme and been opening up people's mail.

SPEAKER_01 3:07

That's wild. You risked your whole life and livelihood on $2,600.

SPEAKER_00 3:12

Yeah, I mean, I guess she didn't know what it was. It could have been $26,000. And you know, I think it's over $500. You have to go to the lottery office. So she sees a lottery ticket. She knows it's at least $500. And I guess she took that risk, which is what the Florida? What the Florida? Who does that? Apparently she did. In South Florida, right? South Florida. It's Miami. Okay. Well, South Florida be floatering. Child. What the Florida? That's definitely a good what the Florida. You want to hear something else crazy? I'm afraid, but yes. You should be afraid. A man dressed as the Grim Reaper was arrested for dressing up in costume and standing on the roof across from a hospital and staring at patients. What are we talking about? Yes. The man, his name is Leon Gillespie, is a 26-year-old man from Wales, and this happened in Wales, so across the pond. And he is accused of silently staring down patients, visitors, and staff for an hour. Oh my God. Yes. Yes. Police responded to the situation. It lasted about 50 minutes before he was taken into custody. He pled guilty to causing a nuisance and disturbance on hospital property.

SPEAKER_02 4:23

What is happening?

SPEAKER_00 4:25

This man. So let's just talk about this. He had the idea.

SPEAKER_02 4:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 4:30

He got up. He bought the costume. Yes. Received it, put it on. Yes. Drove himself to this hospital. Somehow gets on the roof. I mean, did you go up the fire escape? Did you go in the building and just walk in it? Were you already dressed in costume, walking up the stairs? Did he Spider-Man up the like literally? And then he got to the roof and stared down patients for an hour before the police showed up and helped to take him into custody. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 4:59

Can I just say that I know this is awful for families and for all of the people involved?

SPEAKER_00 5:07

But that's hilarious. It is not funny. People are so sick these days. This next generation is doomed. We are doomed. We are doomed. If this is funny, then we are doomed. So comments range from thinking it's hilarious dark humor to being horrified. One person said is low-key attempted murder. Attempted murder. Because you know it gave someone a heart attack.

SPEAKER_01 5:31

Okay, that may be a little too far. I I can I I hear why people would be upset. That is, if you're on your deathbed and you see the Grim Reaper, that probably made you feel a certain type of woman.

SPEAKER_00 5:44

You may have been sitting in your bed for days and you open up the window, finally get enough strength to open up the window, and you see this mofo sitting up on the top of the room looking at you. And he had his staff. He had a staff. Like, come on. You can't tell me or you wouldn't be horrified. Okay, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You were so dark. I can't. I cannot. I cannot. It's too much. It's too much. This generation is doomed. If you think that this is the best use of your time, Mr. 26-year-old. That part. Yeah, he crazy. So he'll be fighting some charges.

SPEAKER_01 6:27

No, he played guilty. He played guilty.

SPEAKER_00 6:31

Yeah. Help him, Lord. Help this generation, Lord.

SPEAKER_01 6:34

Help him, Lord. That's funny, not funny.

SPEAKER_00 6:36

Yeah. Can we talk a totally different subject to get off of this craziness between what the Florida and this grim reaper? Please. Let's move on. Alright, so let's move on to around social media and talk a little bit about Auntie Oprah. Auntie Oprah. Let me just preface by saying I know some of us have not forgiven Oprah yet, and it is okay and understandable. She did have her slip up with Aunt Auntie Whitney. Totally understand where folks are coming from because I didn't appreciate her, you know, telling a story that didn't need to be told and shining light on our beauty, Whitney Houston, when it wasn't necessary.

SPEAKER_01 7:15

Right.

SPEAKER_00 7:15

That said, I still love Oprah.

SPEAKER_01 7:17

I still love Oprah.

SPEAKER_00 7:18

I know. I can't help it. I mean, I just feel like she's, you know, full of so much wisdom. She is still good representation. Yes. So that's just my personal opinion. But anyway, Oprah was, you know, Oprah is 72 years old. Yes. And she was on Baby, this is Kiki Palmer's podcast. You know, I love me some Kiki. You love you some Kiki. I do. I love me some Kiki. I watch her every single day. I love her some Kiki. Yes. Kiki, we need to be on your podcast. Yes. Please invite us. Kiki, can we, Kiki?

SPEAKER_01 7:45

I see what you did there.

SPEAKER_00 7:46

Kiki can we Kiki?

SPEAKER_01 7:49

Yes. That's Kiki. That's Kiki.

SPEAKER_00 7:51

Yes. But anyway, so uh Oprah is on Kiki Palmer's podcast, and she was talking about if she would want to travel back in time. And she said she would never want to go back to her 30s. Nah. But she would go back to being around 44.

SPEAKER_02 8:06

Oh. Yes.

SPEAKER_00 8:07

You know, that started to hit me. So she's as soon as she said that. I was like, uh oh, you're telling me something. All right. Confirmation. So she said at the age of 44, you really are coming into yourself and you lock in. You can see the rising for yourself. She said that she was in full drive for herself and not working or caring about everyone else. It's that age where you stop trying to please everyone else and truly come into your own. And of course, me and my uh wide awakening really was at age 44. Yeah. At 44, I said, this life is good, this life is great, but this life isn't for me. Right. And I want to start living for me. So everything that she was saying was totally hitting for me. Yeah. So Kiki asked her, uh, what does it look like when you said that you want to go back to 44? Like what was it for you? What's that look like? And she simply said one word freedom.

SPEAKER_01 9:04

Freedom.

SPEAKER_00 9:05

Yes. And you know at that point she had me. Of course. So we have a brother who is 17 years younger than me and 16 years younger than Anj. And every single year, the end of the year, he asked us, What do you want the next year to look like? What's your one word? What's your one word that's your mantra for the year that by the end of the year you can look back and you said I achieved that? And he asked me in December of 2025, and I said, for 2026, my word is freedom.

SPEAKER_01 9:37

Freedom.

SPEAKER_00 9:37

So Oprah was hitting on what I needed when she said that. It was a confirmation of this is okay to feel like how you feel. It is normal. Other people have had this experience, and freedom, as you know, for my 45th year is my goal, and so far, so good.

SPEAKER_01 9:56

Yes. I had a friend ask me, uh, what has been your favorite age? Like what what age have you really resonated with so far? And I said, My 40s. Yeah. You know, in your 20s and your 30s, you're trying to climb, you're trying to build, and you don't know what it looks like, you don't know what it feels like, you're just doing the thing, right? And at in my 40s, I feel like I feel like I see where I'm going. Yeah. I know what I want to achieve, I know how I want to achieve it.

SPEAKER_02 10:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 10:29

So 40s, my 40s have been great. It's that clarity. I know what I want, I know what I don't want, I know what I like, I know what I don't like. And that clarity is really pushing me to who I am becoming and who I will be for the rest of my life. So Oprah's right. Auntie Oprah got it right.

SPEAKER_00 10:46

She did, she did. This is a year where we where we've stopped living for everyone else, trying to keep up with everyone else, and really shifting from that corporate mindset to entrepreneurship and what's best for me. Yeah. So go shine, sis. Go shine, sis. Thank you, Auntie Oprah. I know that was really inspiring. I needed that.

SPEAKER_01 11:05

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 11:05

I can tell you what's uninspiring.

SPEAKER_01 11:07

Uh-oh. How do we go from inspired to uninspiring?

SPEAKER_00 11:10

Because the next segment is surviving the men in our comments.

unknown 11:13

Oh wow.

SPEAKER_00 11:16

Y'all are um treacherous. Yeah, I think Graham has been quite brutal. Yes. Um, but this segment initially was going to be let me read you some of these comments that we've been getting. And then I said, okay, there's way too many, right? You get over a hundred and fifty thousand views, you get, you know, thousands of comments, and it makes you pause and say, There has to be something in here. So I read every single comment. You brave? Yeah, Instagram was brutal. So I I I pretty much stuck there. But you could have gone to any platform, but Instagram was pretty brutal. So I went to Instagram and I was reading through them. The first ones were horrid, they were just people who were venting and in some agreement. And then the next one, people were actually sharing some nuggets.

SPEAKER_01 12:01

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 12:02

So it started off rough. Comments like, I'm about to start cheating if I can't get some peace. What? Yeah. Women require attention like puppies and toddlers, and women act like they were raised by single mothers. And this all stemmed from a segment we did uh back in the end of July where we had a family reunion uh segment, and our cousins talked about how women are always messing up a good man's time, interrupting their peace, and women want attention. And the men agreed.

SPEAKER_01 12:32

Yeah, they did.

SPEAKER_00 12:33

They agreed. So those were some of the comments, and I could have kept going. They they got uglier and uglier.

SPEAKER_01 12:37

Oh, yeah. I stopped reading them.

SPEAKER_00 12:39

Yeah, that was that was for the best. But I didn't. So I I went back after things started to slow down a little bit, and I read every single comment. And some of the guys actually dropped some nuggets. Okay. So let me read a few of those. Okay. One comment said, We love y'all. Oh, another thing that happened was I guess another woman was in the comments and she was reading this, and she asked a simple question. Do y'all even like us? Yeah. Yeah. From what she was hearing, she was like, Do men even like women? Because this is crazy. And they had a whole thread just attached to that to that. So one person commented and said, We love y'all, but imagine dealing with mixed messaging, emotional tests, indirect communication, feeling judged, not having your hobbies or downtime respected, and being told that you don't care. At the same time, trying to provide, plan, and solve problems. It is exhausting. Most men are asking for too much to want peace, appreciation, affection, honesty, and feel like they're on the same team.

SPEAKER_01 13:41

Wow.

SPEAKER_00 13:41

I appreciate it.

SPEAKER_01 13:42

Wow. That I appreciate him being so vulnerable. Yes. I told him that. Yeah, but I also appreciate that he gave a problem and a solution in the same comment. Because, yes, thank you for telling us how you feel and what you want in return to feel appreciated and to feel loved and heard. And that acknowledge that they're on the same team. Yeah. And so that was the problem. That's the solution. And his vulnerability did really shows that he's looking for that true companionship. He likes women. It's just he's looking for that mate to meet him halfway. So I appreciate that comment. Totally. I didn't read it. I didn't get that far to it. Because the ones before that was wild. But I appreciate him sharing that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 14:28

It was really, really thoughtful. And I did thank him for his vulnerability and acknowledge that that's the way that it should be.

SPEAKER_02 14:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 14:36

So that was the first one.

SPEAKER_02 14:38

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 14:38

The second one, he said, um, women are seeing a lot of discontent from men lately, really the last three to five years. You think? Yeah. Men have heard from women for all of their lives, but uh with social media, it's a space that men can freely freely express how we feel. It's not that men don't like women, it's that women don't know what men like. I can agree with that.

SPEAKER_01 15:04

No laws detected. We we don't know what men like until they tell us. So are you communicating what you like and what you don't like? Are you actually putting your feelings out there? I like peace while I'm watching my football game. So every Sunday for four hours, I just want to be in this one particular game. This is my team that's playing. And it could be a Sunday now. Uh I mean it could be Monday, it could be Sunday, it could be Saturday. But whatever day your team is playing, I would like to watch this game alone. And in exchange, you've got me for dinner or whatever on this time. Like the communication, the plan has to be in place, but I can't read your mind, and you can't read my mind. Yeah. So that's why we have to talk to each other. So, yes, I can a hundred percent agree. We don't know what men like until you tell us.

SPEAKER_00 15:58

Yeah. No, I I wholeheartedly agree. And quite frankly, I don't. I think he was hitting it. I don't know what men like. I know what Sean likes. Right. I know what daddy likes. Yes. I know what aunt likes. Those are the three men in your life. Right. So three men in my life. I know exactly what they like. I could not tell you. If I had to go back to these streets, I could not tell you what men like. I'm in the streets. You in them streets. If I had to go back, I don't even know what I would do. Right. But I think that was a fair point. Conversely, they don't know what we like. That's true. And we've got to figure that out. The first part that he talked about, though, I think we shouldn't gloss over. He said men have not really had that space, and social media has given them an outlet to be able to talk the way that allows them to express freely. And I think that's true. Men do hold back quite a few things, and women do not. We tend to say exactly how we feel, what we want, and what we expect. And so I I don't want to gloss over that piece because I think it is important. Now I think some of them are taking it a bit too far. You saw me in your streets, you would not pop off and say some of the things that you said face. You wouldn't user one, two, three, four. Right. But at the same token, having the space to do that is probably relieving and freeing for some of them.

SPEAKER_01 17:09

That's true.

SPEAKER_00 17:10

I would love if people would go to counseling.

SPEAKER_01 17:12

Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_00 17:13

Go get you some help. Deal with your trauma. Yes. And don't bring that mess into the next relationship. Seriously.

SPEAKER_01 17:21

Yeah. And a lot of jobs have an EAP that they give you free counseling sessions. Like you can get five free counseling sessions. All you have to do is get your EAP number and go see the provider that you want to see. And you can do it online. You don't even have to go into someone's office. Yeah. But go heal your trauma. Yeah. Because you're taking that into the next relationship. And the minute that that next person does an inkling of what you don't like, you're automatically on 100. Literally. It triggers you. You have to go heal. Stop bringing the trauma into your new relationship. That new person does not deserve that.

SPEAKER_00 17:55

Yeah. And that's for men and women.

SPEAKER_01 17:57

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_00 17:58

Yeah. Totally agree. So I thought that was excellent. And then the last one, this one really got me. He said, I'm not sure we ever really liked women, to be honest. Well, thank you for being honest. Oh, this persons. At least not the way that women like each other. That hit right there. Women like uh we like women for what they provide for us. We don't do a good job of mate matching, and some men match for big breasts and ass, and some women match for big wallets and height. We aren't matching correctly. Well, okay.

SPEAKER_01 18:35

Right. These right. Yes. Because think about it, if you picked her because of her big breast and her big ass in a couple years, and after a couple kids, it ain't looking the same. No. So why would you continue with a person that you uh don't connect with anymore because what you initially wanted ain't there no more? Yeah. And you're expecting these model types to fit into a stereotypical woman's role of cooking and cleaning and taking care of the kids when that's not who she was when you met her. And conversely, if you are picking a man for his height and his wallet, and that's all you're interested in, why are you mad if he can't communicate with you or take you on dates and treat you right or he cheats on you? You didn't pick him to be a good guy, you picked him for his wallet and his height. Yeah, so you've got to get a better picker.

SPEAKER_00 19:28

Yeah.

unknown 19:29

Wow.

SPEAKER_00 19:30

I know. I mean, you could break it down even further. When he talked about um uh not the way that women like each other, so you know that there was uh going around social media, there was a guy who was surveying, could you live in a world with all men? And he was asking men, could you live in a world with all men? Every 100% of the men said absolutely not. No. And then he went around and asked the women, could you live in a world with all women? And I'd say everyone that he showed said absolutely. Whoa. And it's because we know how to like each other. Now don't get me wrong, we hate on each other too. But for the most part, your circle of people who you would actually hang around are people that you like hang around, they get you, they show up for you, uh, they give you the love and appreciation and confirmation that we just don't get from men and and and and understandably.

SPEAKER_02 20:24

Right.

SPEAKER_00 20:24

And so he was dead right when he said he's not sure that we ever liked women the way that we like each other. He was hitting on that point.

SPEAKER_01 20:33

Yeah. And I've saw a lot of comments about men talking about how they would never brunch with women, and that's so true. We love to brunch with ourselves because it's a good time, it's fun, it's therapy, it's uh chill, you know. We get to talk and talk and talk. And I don't think women get tired of hearing each other talk. I mean, at least you and I don't, right? All day, but we couldn't talk to men the way that we talk to each other. No, so I get what he's saying. So oh wow. It was good. It was good. But I mean, you have to talk, you have to have communication, you have to be able to enjoy each other's company. And I think a lot of the men in our comments don't enjoy their mates' company anymore. Yeah, and so when you start to withdraw from each other and you're really not uh paying much attention to each other, a woman is going to feel neglected and do little things to irritate you or to get your attention. It may not be the healthiest way to do things. And that's when men start to feel the way that they feel, but I think it's the underlying issue is you don't like her anymore.

SPEAKER_00 21:42

Yeah. So Kevin on stage um got a comment around how are you staying married? Like, how do you stay married? And you know, him and Melissa they're celebrating 20 something years. And so uh he gave three ways of doing it, and we can talk about that in another segment. But one of the ways he said is, I am Married to the current version of my wife, Melissa. I am married to my current version of my wife. And that is so important because when you know, anytime you've been with someone, to your point earlier, you start to change physically. It's gonna happen. Yes. She has a glow up from her look, but she's probably more independent. She's probably wanting to seek and do things for herself. She's probably doing things that she wasn't doing in the relationship before. And him intentionally saying, I love who we are today, and where we are today, I'm gonna grow and foster is so important.

SPEAKER_02 22:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 22:34

I loved it when he said that. He was hitting right on that important part.

SPEAKER_01 22:38

Yeah. One thing that you and Sean do that I absolutely will take into my next relationship is you do annual check-ins.

SPEAKER_00 22:45

Yes, we do. Every end of the year, yes, we check in. Are we good? Is there something that we can work on? We set goals. How often do we want to be intimate, intentionally intimate? What does our finances look like? Um, what are we saving towards? What are we contributing individually that we need to adjust? We literally have a business meeting at the end of every year.

SPEAKER_01 23:06

I love that.

SPEAKER_00 23:07

And do a full check-in. You know, we check in throughout the year, but the end of the year is like an intentional meeting where it's like, let's get it all out of here. We we want this thing to work, let's get it all out here. And if there's an issue, ego to the side, let's talk about it and try to figure things out because we are, we change so much.

SPEAKER_01 23:25

And that's how you stay married to the current version of your spouse is you do those annual check-ins. So Kev's advice is spot on, and the only way to do that is those annual check-ins. I love that. Yeah, and when's the last time you and your spouse or you and your mate had an annual check-in? That's how you go years disconnecting from your partner when you don't do that check-in.

SPEAKER_00 23:49

And the egos have to be to the side, and I think that's an important thing because it's not easy to hear, I need more to be. You getting on my damn nerves, my nerves, or I want you to cook more, or you know, whatever the situation is. We need to spend a little bit less money. Like those things are not easy to hear and to talk about. I don't have real problems, but it's still the whole intention is to talk about what's not working. Yes, and so you got to put your egos to the side and it it works. I love that. Well, it's you're 15 years in counting.

SPEAKER_01 24:17

Yeah, I love it.

SPEAKER_00 24:18

Thank you.

SPEAKER_01 24:19

Well, sister, uh, I forgive some of the men in our comments.

SPEAKER_00 24:24

Yes, we hear you, we see you, we appreciate you.

SPEAKER_01 24:29

The rest of them can go to hell. Oh, but the ones who are really contributing and and helping the conversation grow, thank you. We appreciate you.

SPEAKER_00 24:38

We heard you, yeah. Thank you. We appreciate your vulnerability, and we'll make sure we shout you out when we can.

SPEAKER_01 24:43

Love that. Yeah, well, sister, we've come to the end. I know, just like that. Yes, and I have the sister salute this week. Yes, but before we do, I want to um highlight our wine from the Keel and Curly winery here in Florida. I love them. It's halfway between my house and Tiff's house, so it's a great meeting place in the middle, and they have some great wines. They have fruit-flavored wines, they have hard ciders, um, very, very excellent and refreshing wines for here in Florida. Yes, sweet wines, yes, which you know I like. Yes, I do. So it's something for everyone. And they also have activities at the Keel and Curly winery. Uh, I think we went to um bingo, music bingo. Music, yeah, we went to think it was fun.

SPEAKER_00 25:30

Yeah, it was fun. Yeah, I had a girlfriend come into town and she's a little bit older than us, and I was like, oh, what can we do that would be fun? Because you know, I like trap uh brunch. Don't we know it? I she like me, she don't want twerking with her eggs. She didn't want twerking with her eggs. I already knew that. And so I was like, where can I take her where we can get a little sip, get some good food? And so we went there, and it was the perfect place for us to go because trap brunch won't gonna do it. No, um, but it was a beautiful scenery, the wines were good. We did a tasting plus the music uh uh bingo, and it was just a really good time.
