Rapid fire today.

Rapid fire today. Rapid fire today.

Whitney 2:38

All right, so with that being said, our first question uh, what's some things your mom used to say that made no sense?

Twonn 2:50

One thing my mom used to say that kind of made really no sense when I was like, yeah, I brought you in this world and I'll take you out.

Whitney 3:00

That is the famous saying. Every mother has said that.

Twonn 3:04

I brought you in this world. I'm like, that's a that's a that's a whole I'ma kill you without saying, I'ma kill you. Like, that's crazy to say that to your to say that to your kid.

Whitney 3:17

And you know, us growing up as kids, we had no filter. We'll look at you like, mom, you're gonna go to jail.

Twonn 3:22

Yeah, they don't know.

Whitney 3:22

You're gonna go to jail for sure.

Twonn 3:23

You think you can get that off now? I'll bring you in this world, I'll take you.

Whitney 3:28

I most definitely can get it off.

Twonn 3:29

Yeah.

Whitney 3:30

My kids will probably look at me crazy like, yeah, you're gonna go to jail. Oh, you're gonna go to jail.

Twonn 3:34

You're definitely going to jail, but somebody getting going to jail.

Whitney 3:37

Yes. You got another one?

Twonn 3:39

Um I'm trying to think. I think that's like the main one that just sticks in my head. I brought you in this world and I'll take you out. Like, that's a real threat. Like, I was worried for my life at one point.

Whitney 3:58

I think I think a lot of things that they said was a threat. Or uh money don't grow on trees.

Twonn 4:05

Oh, that's a good one. I like that one.

Whitney 4:08

Like, actually, money comes from paper. It definitely grows on trees. Like, you know? Oh, you the smart ass. Or uh, what was one of my mom used to tell me? Uh don't write a check your ass can't cash.

Twonn 4:23

Okay. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yo, you're bringing back so many memories, just saying these little, yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 4:32

Oh my goodness. Yes.

Twonn 4:34

What they said, um, it was a good one. It was spare the rod. No, spoil the rod and spank the child, something like that. It was an old biblical one. Yeah. It was like a whip your ass, like it said it in the Bible. If you know that said, please put it in the comments. Like, spare the rod and spoil the child, or it had to be reverse because it wasn't spoiled no child. But yeah, my mom used to say that, and I didn't know what that meant. Like, yeah.

Whitney 5:07

Or close the refrigerator before you let all the cold air out. Like the air was trying to, the cold air was escaping from the refrigerator like it was a pet or something. Like, what? Yeah, my mom was crazy. Yo, that's crazy. Okay, yeah, definitely bring back some some memories, uh, when it comes to that.

SPEAKER_02 5:24

Alright.

Twonn 5:25

Oh, okay. Did your mom have like a weapon of choice?

Whitney 5:30

Or like that look?

Twonn 5:31

Yeah, or the look.

Whitney 5:33

Um, it just depends. So, like if I was in the kitchen and she was cooking, you know, you always want to be a tester and you try to go in there and like put your finger in something, you get like that wooden spoon or the spatula or something like that.

Twonn 5:45

But sometimes she gave me that look, like that's the West Indian way that the the wooden spoon. The wooden spoon.

Whitney 5:53

I think whatever she had at reach, I was definitely getting teached for sure.

Twonn 6:02

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I tested my mom's patience a lot. So there's a belt, extension cord. Ooh. Oh, it's tearing up butt up. Belt extension cord. I got some stuff thrown at me. You know, you just testing your patience. You know, it's just a lot of testing your patience. I don't think I can get away with that stuff now. And luckily, the statue of limitations is uh Love you, Mom.

Whitney 6:28

That's a statue of limitations 40 years, trying to get your mama for the things she did back then.

Twonn 6:34

Somebody gonna be calling me. Do you want to press charges now? Nah, she's cool.

Whitney 6:38

Okay, so with that being said, um when your mom calls you by your full government name when she's mad, like oh, you in trouble.

Twonn 6:50

You in trouble. She calls you by your full name. Your full government. She's saying like syllables and whatnot. Yeah. You in trouble.

Whitney 7:01

She's definitely in trouble.

Twonn 7:02

You in trouble. You in trouble, trouble. Nah, that's a different type of trouble.

Whitney 7:07

Most definitely. I'm I'm with you on that. That's like, that's not even a calling, that's a summons. Like, she has summoned you to court because you done, you done did something real messed up, and she was not happy.

Twonn 7:21

Oh, alright. I got another question. So why would why do moms walk in and where they knock and walk in at the same time?

Whitney 7:30

I feel like me as a mother now, back then, I'm just like, yo, this is my room. So you but now that I'm a mother, yeah, I knock. I give a warning, like, hey, I'm coming in.

Twonn 7:41

But you're walking in at the same time.

Whitney 7:43

No, I'm knocking and I'm open, I knock first, and then I open the door. I walk in. I'm giving a warning. Like, this is not a this is my house, first and foremost.

Twonn 7:50

No sense. Why did I just walk in?

Whitney 7:52

Because I'm giving a warning so that they know, get your life together before I come up in here.

Twonn 7:55

Like so, this is what was going on my mom's head when she just walk in the room, she just and walk in at the same time. Like before you even hit a knock, all you hear is the the the the the shimmeling of the doorknob and just walk in, like, oh hey, like you already caught.

Whitney 8:09

Not give a knock. I like judge out, sugar, and then I walk in.

Twonn 8:14

Like, okay. That seems real fast. It seems real fast.

Whitney 8:20

Oh, well, I wasn't waiting for a request to come in. Like, I don't know, absolutely not. I'm I'm giving a fair warning. So if you're in there doing something you ain't supposed to be doing, you might as well stop.

Twonn 8:30

Nah, you cold.

Whitney 8:31

You could pretty much, but but uh it is what it is. Uh okay. So did your mom ever threaten you with wait till we get home?

Twonn 8:41

Oh yeah. Yeah. Oh, I'm gonna give you something to cry about. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wait till we get home.

Whitney 8:47

So what's the meaning behind that? Wait till we get home.

Twonn 8:51

It's it's it's like unlimited freaking That saying is like the ultimate unlimited anything's possible. Wait till we wait till it's the calmness for me. That that's that's kind of like it's nerve-wracking. It's real nerve-wracking. We like, all right, you know, like why why are you so calm? Why are you so calm? You're not supposed to be this calm. You're usually mad. So you know you're gonna get it when you get home.

Whitney 9:18

Yeah, definitely. Um, I feel like they tell you, like, wait till we get home. It's kind of like a yeah, we in public, you in public safety mode right now. But um, that'd be the worst car ride home because it's like silent, and now you're reflecting on what you did, how you're gonna get it. And then, but by the time you get home, she already done added on more stuff you finna get in trouble for. Cause you know, during that time she's kinda slightly. She ain't saying nothing because she's in public, she don't want to act a fool. So it's kind of like, yeah, okay, bet. And you still doing stuff, and she just adding up, adding up. So by the time you got home, she's so calm.

Twonn 9:56

Man, it's the calm before the storm.

Whitney 9:59

You gotta add a sentence to just on the on the way home. Just silence. Now you gotta reflect on what's about to happen. You know what? Now that I think about it, that's torture.

Twonn 10:10

That is torture.

Whitney 10:11

I mean, they they tortured us as children.

Twonn 10:14

Yeah, it's a lot of stuff that you see get off that you can't get off now. But that is definitely torture.

Whitney 10:19

All right. So we'll go ahead and chill on these questions for a little bit. Let's get to uh flag on the play. Rapid fire. Rapid fire. Um not sure how many questions we have today, but we're gonna ask a few little questions. It's kind of like a pick-a-side, like you know, which way are you gonna go with? Um, so let's get into it. Let me go ahead and look at these questions. You got anything you want to say out here to the mothers?

Twonn 10:43

Why go ahead and uh um happy Mother's Day. Uh your gift for Mother's Day. Well, actually, not your gift for Mother's Day. Fathers, your gift depends on this gift.

Whitney 10:58

That is an accurate statement. Do you know my child texted me and was like, um, happy Mother's Day, because of me, you are a mother. You know what I told her? I said, because of you, I am broke. If I didn't have you, I would be single and rich and free to do what I want.

Twonn 11:15

I told my son.

Whitney 11:16

She gave me the thumbs down.

Twonn 11:17

Oh, she gave you the thumbs down.

Whitney 11:18

She gave me the thumbs down.

Twonn 11:20

I told my son that too. I was like, man, if it wasn't for you, I'd be riding around in Lamborghini by now. Ooh, I got a good one.

Whitney 11:29

Alright, so the first question on a rapid fire. Calling your mom by her first name once, is that bravery or suicide?

Twonn 11:43

Nah, that's suicide. You don't call your mom by her first name. Like, she's gonna look at you, like she's gonna give you that look. Like, boy, I'll put you in this world, I'll take you out.

Whitney 11:54

I I actually did it. Like when you trying, you know, when grown folks is talking and you trying to talk to your mom and she really not saying anything to you, and you call them by their name.

Twonn 12:02

You call them by their name. Oh man, that ain't bravery. That's brave.

Whitney 12:05

They just definitely suicide, but brave at the same time, because you knew what you was doing, and when she stopped in mid-sentence and And you that look.

Twonn 12:15

Ugh, look.

Whitney 12:15

The extractor's a whole head turned around. Like, I know you're not just calling me by my name in front of all these people. That's that way till we get home.

Twonn 12:22

Wait till we get home.

Whitney 12:24

For sure. Oh my goodness. Have you done that? Have you called your mom by her first name?

Twonn 12:29

Nah, nah, I'm not that brave. Nah, nah, nah. I'm not trying to, nah. I'm not trying to do that. I'm gonna try that though. I'm gonna try to get that off. I'm recording as an adult. I'm gonna try to get that off.

Whitney 12:39

I think she'll pop you. In many sentence.

Twonn 12:42

With the spoon.

Whitney 12:45

Oh my goodness. Um, moms who comment on every Facebook post. Is that supportive or embarrassing?

Twonn 12:56

Every face? No, that's embarrassing. That's embarrassing. Because you might try to get one off and you're like, that's my baby. That's my baby. Might get some thought shit off. That's my baby. Okay, but yeah, you might be trying to get one.

Whitney 13:18

Okay, I can remember our last episode. We were saying, like, you know, having friends, but they don't support anything you do. But you got your mama out here. But your mom's always in the morning. Yeah, yeah.

Twonn 13:27

She's always gonna be, but to be up under every post, like even if you're trying to get one off, like, oh, uh, he wasn't nothing. That's my baby.

Whitney 13:38

Yeah, Facebook is crazy. I think I get uh friend requests from my mom like every other few weeks because she done forgot her password. So she makes a new account.

Twonn 13:47

That's every month.

Whitney 13:48

Nah, that's every month. I have literally like seven profiles with my mom, and I just stop adding. Like anytime I see a request, I don't even add it no more because it's gonna be a new one.

Twonn 13:57

Oh, that's my mom. That's my mom. I got her like maybe like seven, nine times. Does she just keep forgetting the like? How do you have these many emails? Like, I know emails are free, but how how do you have this many emails? How much time do you have to just create emails after email?

Whitney 14:13

Getting her page, so she's like, I don't have time for this. I'm gonna go ahead and create a new one and we just go from there.

Twonn 14:18

Okay, but you need an email address, so you create a new Facebook, a new email. Like, basically, she got she started a whole new life.

SPEAKER_02 14:26

Oh my goodness. Yes, moms are crazy. Okay, uh let's see.

Whitney 14:34

Your mom cleaning while angry. Is that productive or terrifying?

Twonn 14:40

Nah, that's terrifying. That's therapy for her. Because my mom, she put on them OJs of that old school music, and she just started her cleaning and whatnot. Nah, don't bother her.

Whitney 14:49

You better stay in your room. Yeah, you better stay in your room. Stay in your room or pick up a broom. Because the moment that you come out or you sitting down and watching TV while she's cleaning, oh nah, you done messed up. Stay out the way.

Twonn 15:00

You done into the danger zone.

Whitney 15:02

Stay out the way for sure. That's definitely terrifying.

Twonn 15:05

I go to the bathroom.

Whitney 15:06

Are you just in the bathroom?

Twonn 15:11

I sit in the bathroom. I just sit in the table.

Whitney 15:13

She wants to clean the bathroom. What you gonna do then?

Twonn 15:15

Then I go, I get out of the bathroom. She gonna she gotta knock. She can knock and open the same door at the same time. She's gonna knock and open the door at the same time. Woo! This is your cooking.

SPEAKER_02 15:27

Oh my goodness.

Twonn 15:29

Oh, yes.

Whitney 15:30

Moms are funny. Okay.

Twonn 15:31

Moms are funny, man.

Whitney 15:33

Let's see. Is your mom really asking a question or already accusing you?

Twonn 15:39

Come on, you know. She already knows the answer. Yeah, she already knows the answer. She just wants to see if you're gonna tell the truth. She's gonna know if you don't want to tell the truth. Oh my god. That's it.

Whitney 15:51

Okay, so who's more dramatic? Your mom or your grandma?

Twonn 15:55

I have to give it to my grandma.

Whitney 15:57

Really? Yes. I like your grandma.

Twonn 15:59

Yeah, but she thinks the world is gonna end every day. Like she's paranoid. Oh, don't do that. I like your grandma. Don't do that now.

SPEAKER_02 16:07

Oh, good. Your grandma's an OG, triple OG. Every time I see her.

Twonn 16:11

But she's she be so worried. She is worried about every little thing. But times have changed. But I think as you get older, you get more paranoid. Like you know, you just things don't add up. So I think everything new is like kind of she's like afraid of and all that. Now my mom's OG, but my grandma's funny, though.

SPEAKER_02 16:30

I love my grandmama. All right. Uh let's see.

Whitney 16:35

Um you see, mom yelling your name from another room just to hand them the remote. Is that normal or abuse of power? That's abuse of power. Most definitely abuse of power. But you know what? I do it.

Twonn 16:53

Yeah, you better, you better. Oh, you ask for the remote?

Whitney 16:58

I don't ask for the remote, but if I have somebody and throw in the trash, I'll call one of them down there. They come and I do like this. They immediately shut the door. Like, nah, nah, nah, nah. You already came down here. Come on.

Twonn 17:09

I do that. I do that. I don't even be thirsty. I'm like, oh, can you give me some water?

Whitney 17:15

And then when they come back, you ain't put no ice in there. You ain't put no ice in there.

Twonn 17:18

You ain't put no ice in there. Every time I think of that, I think of uh Craig from Friday when the ice fellow, he liked it.

Whitney 17:24

And then he dropped it on the floor.

Twonn 17:26

I'm pretty sure my son and my daughter dropped that ice on the floor.

Whitney 17:30

And definitely put it in your cup. Oh my god. These questions have me in tears for sure. Okay. Your mom asking questions nobody asked her. Is that helpful or hall of fame for nosy?

Twonn 17:46

My mom is nosy. She is like, she's like queen of her class. Not queen of her class, but top of her class, nosy. Super nosy. You could be sitting here having a conversation and she listening from all the way over there. She ain't she she probably can't hear you, but she just reading lips. Just reading lips. And then she'll come over to you another. You shouldn't do that, oh. You shouldn't say that. Such and such. And I heard what she said. Like, how you heard that?

Whitney 18:17

What I used to hate, so I'm pretty sure as a child, it probably didn't happen to you guys because like you're a male and your mom is a female. Or maybe it does. But I remember too when we had to like go through like physicals for school and stuff, and you're in the doctor's office, and when you're a minor, they have your mom in there and they ask you like questions, like inappropriate questions. And she kind of like answering for you, like, oh, are you sexually active? Before you, she better not be. Like, who's she talking to? She's gonna be or you, but then you look and like, nah.

Twonn 18:48

No, I ain't so yeah, yeah, that part.

Whitney 18:50

But I used to hate that. Like, man, like, does she gotta be in here for real for these kind of questions? Like for the little physical and stuff. I'm like, do y'all go through that? Like, does your mom have to be a part or does your dad have to be a part when they no? As as a female um, you know, minor, your mom is in there and they ask you like certain questions like that.

Twonn 19:11

And I'm kind of looking at the doctor like Nah, for guys, they don't ask questions like that. Are you sexually active and whatnot? I mean, that that there it depends what you're in there for. For? Yeah, it depends what you, but like a checkup, nah, they're not asking like questions like that.

Whitney 19:25

They'll they'll do like little questions and then they have to like, you know, they check your bag, they check your stomach, certain things like that. That's embarrassing. It is embarrassing. Like, it's very embarrassing. I know they did it to uh Jalea one time, and uh she was sitting in there sitting on a thing, and the guy was asking her, and it's because like she's ADHD. So he's like, they ask about like her, you know, behave, like her behavioral, like how does that look like in her emotional and stuff like that, and they ask her like certain questions, and she just be sitting there. Looking at you like she be looking at me, like you gonna answer? Like, you know, but yeah, that was definitely kind of like embarrassing growing up. So if y'all experience that, I know what y'all going through.

unknown 20:04

I know.

Whitney 20:05

So with JoJo, I try to just like sit back and not say nothing. But yeah, they just keep answering questions, like, wait a minute, is she talking to me or she's talking to you? Is this your appointment? This is my appointment. Like, does she have to be in here, ma'am?

Twonn 20:16

Like, wait till that, wait till they kick your ass out of the room.

Whitney 20:22

You want the true answer. Do you have to be in here?

Twonn 20:25

No.

Whitney 20:25

All right, um, mom saying, oh, wow. Mom saying, I'm not cooking tonight, then get mad when nobody took no meat out. Is that fair or a setup?

Twonn 20:40

Yeah, that's a setup. That's a setup. That's either I'm not cooking tonight. That's a yeah, that's a setup. That's setting you up for a fail. Well, well, I ain't gonna say for failure, but to be hungry. It's definitely setting you up to be hungry.

Whitney 20:55

I do it all the time. My kids be like, what's for dinner? I'd be like, nothing. And then when I get home, oh, can we go to make nothing? No, it gets on, you didn't take nothing out. You didn't take nothing out. So yeah, it's definitely a setup for sure.

Twonn 21:08

It reminds me going back to that. What's your uh your mom saying? They'd be like, he'd be like, mom, I'm hungry. Hey, hungry, mom. Hey, hungry, I'm mom. I'm like, oh man, that's so annoying. That's so annoying. My mom used to get a couple of those off, and he'd be like, Oh, I can't stand it.

Whitney 21:27

Yeah, that's definitely uh there's some things that I have taken to my you know motherhood that I had back then. You know, we talk all that mess about our parents, but we tend to inherit some of their behaviors.

Twonn 21:39

Yeah, definitely, definitely, definitely. Because you try to get it one off. Like, oh my mom used to, I'm gonna do the same thing. All right, uh, what's uh what's a what's a mom tax that uh you're probably still getting taxed to this day?

Whitney 21:53

Oh, food.

Twonn 21:53

Food? She taxed you on food?

Whitney 21:55

Food.

Twonn 21:56

Yeah.

Whitney 21:56

Every time I have something, like, you know, even if I come into the house. Like, I literally go visit my mom when I come in. I came in with food or something. Oh, yeah, she definitely coming over. And what you got there? Let me get, let me get a fry. Let me get a bite. Before I know it, we're sharing a whole damn meal. But as a parent myself, I do that same thing.

Twonn 22:17

Yeah, yeah. I teach my kids about taxes.

Whitney 22:21

I definitely teach.

Twonn 22:22

Uncle Sam's gonna get his and daddy gonna get his too.

Whitney 22:25

If I buy the girls something, even though we we could have the same dang thing.

Twonn 22:29

You still taxing?

Whitney 22:30

I'm taxing. And I'm taxing from both. And they're looking at me like we got the same thing. Yeah, we always look better. Give me a fry or two. And then they be complaining of who gave more, who didn't give enough. And yeah, definitely a food tax.

Twonn 22:43

I don't think uh my mom taxes me on anything. She just, yeah, my mom doesn't mean that.

Whitney 22:47

What a great mom you have.

Twonn 22:49

Yeah, she don't tax me on anything. Everything is mine.

Whitney 22:53

Oh, I'm taxing. Even now that JoJo got a job, I'm taxing on gas. You ain't getting a free ride.

Twonn 22:59

No free ride here.

Whitney 23:00

No, no free rides. I got five dollars. Get it here. And she'd be looking at me like, you really gonna take my five dollars? Like, this is my only five dollars. Did you want to ride or no?

Twonn 23:10

Yeah, yeah. I'm taxing.

Whitney 23:12

Tax in, because ain't nothing in this world for free. We're getting them prepared for the real world.

Twonn 23:16

That's a good, yeah, yeah. I like that. I like that.

Whitney 23:19

Yes, yes. Okay. Here's one. When your mom says, I don't want anything from Mother's Day, then get smad.

Twonn 23:31

It's a setup. It's a setup. It's a setup. It's a setup. When they say stuff like that, that's like an automatic, you better get me something. I'm not gonna give you any ideas. That's this is what it's saying. I'm not gonna give you any ideas on what I want, but you better give me something.

Whitney 23:48

Most definitely. They definitely want to see the thought process behind that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or if you be like, okay, cool, she don't want nothing, so I ain't gonna get her nothing. Oh yeah, you definitely getting cussed out.

Twonn 23:57

I can't wait for Father's Day. My kids are getting older. So, like, I don't want no more macaroni ties. You know the macaroni pictures when your kids is yelling, like, oh, happy Father's Day, Dad. Thank you. Nah, give me some give me some cologne. I'm in the watches. I like hats. I like some fly shit. The same shit I buy you, buy me.

Whitney 24:19

Oh my goodness, yes. I I guess I'm guilty for that too. Like when my kids are like, Mom, what do you want for Mother's Day? I don't want nothing. But then when they don't give me nothing, bet. What's your birthday coming around? What am I getting for my birthday? The same thing I got for Mother's Day. Absolutely.

Twonn 24:34

Yeah, yeah. That's what I like to say. What you what you getting? Uh, what are you getting me? Same thing you got from for my birthday in blue. I didn't get you nothing. Yeah, I'm getting you nothing in blue.

Whitney 24:42

Nothing in blue. Okay. The heck? Alright. Next question.

Twonn 24:51

Next question.

Whitney 24:52

You gonna let me do it?

Twonn 24:53

Yeah.

Whitney 24:53

Alright. Uh why mom's always got one chair in the house that can't nobody sit in.

Twonn 25:03

Um, I've never experienced that because my mom put plastic on everything. Yeah, she put plastic on everything.

Whitney 25:11

Was it hard getting up? Would you like to do it?

Twonn 25:12

Of course, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Whitney 25:14

Pulling yourself off the chair.

Twonn 25:16

Yeah, you was pulling, yeah, yeah, and with no AC. So, you know, you sat there for a little while. One episode of a show, let's say you watching Family Matters or some old Martin or whatever. By the time you get up, you gotta peel yourself off.

Whitney 25:32

Um, I wouldn't say my mom had a chair that could nobody sit in, but it was like her chair. So, like, it was like a recliner. So we had a recliner. And usually my mom sat on this recliner, and then my dad was in the other recliner, and then the rest of the seats is for everybody else. It wasn't that you couldn't sit in that seat. It was just that if she was home and she was kind of like, if you see her walking that way, you need to get up. Like, that's her seat, that's her chair, that's where she sits. That's kind of like her place, her, her comfort zone, her, you know, where she's winding down for the day. And sometimes when I be getting out of that seat and she be like, dang, this chair is warm. Like, they want their nice little, you know, cold seat. But I mean, it wasn't that we couldn't sit there, it was just that if she was home, you better not be able to get it. Okay, that's dope. That's like that's like up when she gets ready to come sit down for sure.

Twonn 26:20

That's like your dad with the uh lazy boy, yeah, yeah. The lazy boy was lived in, man.

Whitney 26:26

So many got get home from work, yeah, got the belly out, dipping beer on the side just. Okay, all right.

Twonn 26:35

Okay, I got a question. Um, if you're ever cleaning, right? And your mom sees you cleaning, you probably doing probably a terrible job. Is it hating if she tells you, uh, like, yo, you missed a spot? Yo, you missed the spot. Do you do that as a mother?

Whitney 26:58

I do. I do that as a mother. I think as a child growing up, I felt like she was being petty.

Twonn 27:05

Like, yeah, I think my mom was hating.

Whitney 27:07

You're doing too much, like, relax, ma'am. But now, like, when I clean and I clean the kitchen, I really get behind like the toaster and you know, move appliances around and stuff like that because it's really dirty behind there. I'm just trying to teach them, like, hey, you give us a spot.

Twonn 27:22

Like, you gotta do it.

Whitney 27:23

Or they always miss the stove. Like, do we not clean the stove around here? Like, that's the one thing in the kitchen that I be really trying to stay on top of because let that stuff build up.

Twonn 27:34

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're gonna have to send me some WD or everything to get that.

Whitney 27:39

Spray it, wait till overnight, turn the oven on. But um, yeah, as a child, I was definitely thinking my mom was hating. Like, okay, she's in here being petty. Like, find something to do with your life. That's how I felt. But now that I'm a parent, like, I'm just like, no, because they're you're missing some stuff, and you're half cleaning because you're being lazy and you don't want to really do it.

Twonn 28:00

Now I know what that saying means when you happen. I'd be like, what are you talking? What are you talking about?

Whitney 28:06

Like, I did what you asked.

Twonn 28:07

Yeah, I did what you asked. Everything is clean.

Whitney 28:10

But you didn't sweep the floor, you didn't mop, you didn't clean behind the prices, like toasters.

Twonn 28:15

You didn't say that. You ain't say nothing. You said just clean up.

Whitney 28:18

And that's why I have a sign on the refrigerator and it has all the kitchen duties, okay?

Twonn 28:24

You didn't say that. You just said clean up.

Whitney 28:26

And the one thing they miss is the microwave.

Twonn 28:28

Oh, nobody cleans the microwave. It's like years and years of absolutely not. Years and years.

Whitney 28:33

And then I buy the little topper to put so the food don't go everywhere so it makes an easy cleanup. They don't use it.

Twonn 28:39

That's the like that's it's new.

Whitney 28:41

They don't use it. It's new, they don't use it. But be mad when they gotta clean up their noodle juice or spaghetti done popped all over the microwave.

Twonn 28:51

Uh what was the last microwave we had? We had spaghetti for like for like two years. That's been sitting at the top of that. It's been like two years of that spaghetti been sitting at the top of the thing.

Whitney 29:01

All right, so we're gonna get into the last question of the segment. This is a good one.

Twonn 29:06

So for the mothers, the mothers are they're definitely appreciated, but we all have crazy stories about our mothers.

Whitney 29:14

Um when your mom says, don't embarrass me in this door before you even do anything, is that kind of like a fair warning or a threat?

Twonn 29:26

Like, oh, it's both. It's both. It's a both. It's like a double-edged sword. It could it definitely mean so many things. Don't embarrass me when you walk in this store. Or if you do, she wait, all right, why watch? Wait till we get home. Wait till we get home.

Whitney 29:45

Yes, I definitely think it. Okay, back then, I'm just like, yo, I ain't even did nothing. Like, let me do something before you come for me.

Twonn 29:54

She knows her kid.

Whitney 29:55

Yes, but as a parent, I definitely think it's a fair warning. Because back then, it was like, all right, don't get in the store and act the food and have CPS at our house. Nowadays, it's like, all right, come in here if you want to and act the fool and be on somebody's TikTok, be on somebody's Instagram, be on somebody's World Star.

Twonn 30:15

Can you imagine that? Imagine if uh, like when we were younger, they had like phones and whatnot. Man, it'd be a whole channel of ass whoopings.

SPEAKER_02 30:24

I'm telling you.

Twonn 30:25

Public ass whoopings, whooping your child ass in public.

Whitney 30:31

Get snatched up, my start getting that ear that they give you like your little ear and that you're gonna be.

Twonn 30:37

Yeah, my grandma used to do that ear stuff. Man, that ear shit hurt, man. It's like uh it's like a hundred pounds. You pulling a whole hundred pounds, man. Yeah, that hurt. That hurt.

Whitney 30:50

Oh goodness, definitely. So definitely it's a it's a fair warning. So for you young cubs that's watching this video, just know when your mama says don't embarrass her when you get nessed up, just know.
